Salomon x MM6 Maison Margiela
SALOMON x MM6 MAISON MARGIELA : THE MEETING BETWEEN TRAIL AND LUXURY
SALOMON x MM6 IN 2022: THE CROSS LOW AND THE CROSS HIGH OPEN THE COLLABORATION
It all starts on a podium. At the fall-winter 2022 show of MM6 Maison Margiela, the contemporary line of the house founded by Martin Margiela in 1988, two new silhouettes appeared on the feet of the models: the Cross Low and the Cross High. They wear the Speedcrosslug sole, Quicklace and co-branding Salomon Margiela co-branding on the heel, but their raised heel block and mesh gaiter come from elsewhere. The objective, according to the house: to push design performance of Salomon so far that he naturally enters the MM6 locker room.
The world discovers the result in February 2023: Rihanna sings the Super Bowl, suspended above the stadium, in Cross Low. A French ultra-trail shoe designed by a Belgian house becomes, in one half, the most sought-after object of the gorpcore.
CROSS MID, XT-4 MULE, CROSS WADER: THE MODELS SALOMON MAISON MARGIELA MULTIPLY
The following seasons multiply the forms. The Cross Mid adds a waterproof ripstop gaiter tightened by a cord for fall 2023. The XT-4 Mule opens the heel of the trail sneaker most worn by fashion, in the logic of deconstruction dear to Margiela. The Cross Wader, a thigh-high boot mounted on a performance sole, is the conceptual pinnacle of the project — a runway piece more than a trail shoe. TheACS Pro, technical chassis of Salomon, receives its own colors.
SALOMON XT-MM6, THE MM6 SNEAKER MAISON MARGIELA WHO INSTALLED THE COLLABORATION
In October 2025, Salomon and MM6 Maison Margiela release the XT-MM6, a silhouette apart entirely built on the XT range of Salomon — that of the XT-6, the trail shoe that has become the gorpcore icon — the Speedcross sole, the ACS chassis for stability, cushioning Energy Cell. It was she who became the mainstay of subsequent collections. Spring-summer 2026 comes in Sunny Lime, Asparagus Green and Black Asphalt alongside the Cross Dust and the XT-15 bag; fall-winter 2026 reissues it in three colors — a bistro green, cool grays enhanced with pale yellow, a dark version — at €380 in the official distribution.
SALOMON MM6 CROSSDERBY, collaborationBOOT, ACS PRO: THE FALL-WINTER 2026 COLLECTION
October 22, 2026, the collaboration Salomon x MM6 Maison Margiela takes a new direction with the Crossderby : a derby upper in smooth black leather, the open lacing of a city shoe, and underneath it all a trail sole and the Quicklace cord. The first model from the collaboration that doesn't look like a sneaker, and the one that the fashion press picked up on. The second drop, in November, adds the XT-Boot, an ankle boot with a deliberately loose upper, and two colors ofACS Pro MM6, lavender and green. Eight pairs in all for the season.
HOW TO SIZE AND HOW TO WEAR THE SALOMON x MM6 MAISON MARGIELA
The models based on the The Crossderby, on a city shape, is a truer size. They are worn as MM6 shows them: with wide pants that fall over the gaiter, a long skirt or shorts with high socks, in the black, cream and green tones that make up most of the colors. In our selection of Salomon classic, that is to say narrow at the forefoot: half a size larger for a standard foot, a whole size for a wide foot. The Crossderby, on a city shape, is a truer size. They are worn as MM6 shows them: with wide pants that fall over the gaiter, a long skirt or shorts with high socks, in the black, cream and green tones that make up most of the colors. In our selection of sneakers de luxe, it is the collaboration that has most successfully made the transition from the mountain to the podium - where Nike and Jacquemus have taken the opposite path, from the podium to the technique.
