While this isn’t MM6 Maison Margiela and Salomon’s first collaboration, it is a unique lineup for the pair. Known for their innovative and hi-tech designs, the pair has unleashed a new collaboration that seems drastically different than anything they’ve released before. With a mix of technical and functional features, this collaboration includes apparel, accessories, and footwear. Designed for both athletic and leisure wear, this unisex collection marks a new chapter in the pair’s collaborative journey. In this new lineup, two new footwear designs have been introduced that cater to a wide range of wearers.

Ready for two different types of activities, the new collection from MM6 Maison Margiela and Salomon is a genderless collection that introduces a range of innovative features. For runners, the Spectur 2 features an all-black hue and is a contemporary model that combines sleek details with performance. Incorporating recycled polyester and rubber adds a tonal design to the look, which prioritizes optimal performance over out-of-the-box designs. Retailing at $405, the Spectur 2 is a minimalist model that works for any runner. 

For leisurewear, the pair also debuts the XT-4 Mule, an exclusive design of the collaboration that incorporates athleisure into the mix. Crafted with hues of blue, yellow, and brown, this design features a more vibrant color combination. Featuring elements of sneakers and mules, this shoe utilizes recycled materials in a distinctive silhouette. Also featuring co-branding details, this sneaker-mule hybrid is an innovative silhouette that mimics the ongoing trend of hybrid shoes combining elements of sneakers and mules. Retailing for $455, the XT-4 Mule is as contemporary a shoe as can be. With this first release, the pair looks forward to an active spring season, as a second drop is expected to arrive next month with brand-new colorways. The first drop is available for purchase now via the Salomon and Maison Margiela webstores.

While it seems that most shoes are getting slimmer and narrower, the same isn’t the case with Hoka. Known for their chunky performance sneakers, the brand has made waves with their oversized sneaker silhouettes that demand attention. In their latest release, the athletic brand continues down its path with a new Clifton model that's even more chunky than before. One of their most popular models, the Clifton, made its first impression on shoppers in 2014 and has continued to impress over the past decade. With this new release, the Clifton 10 offers upgraded features and a more maximalist silhouette. While far from the typical look of other sneakers, such as the adidas Samba, the new Clifton 10 has everything a runner needs.
