Update March 21, 2025 – Retailer END. is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year with a unique collaboration with Salomon. On March 21, 2025, the END. x Salomon XT-6 in the ‘Emerald’ colorway will be released. The design references the traditional and modern gifts given to mark a 20th anniversary.
Earlier in 2025, the first images of a new END. x Salomon collaboration surfaced: the XT-6 in the ‘Emerald’ colorway. Now, over three months later, we can finally expect the release at END., as one of the many collaborations the retailer is launching this year.
The XT-6 comes in a striking emerald green colorway, a gemstone symbolizing its 20th anniversary. Salomon's silhouette was originally released in 2013 and has since combined durability with modern style – a perfect choice for this collaboration.
The END. x Salomon XT-6 ‘Emerald’ features a silver upper made of breathable mesh and durable TPU, with emerald green details on the outsole, tongue, and stitching. The sneaker has a textured pattern on the sole inspired by the depth of an emerald and is finished with Salomon's signature quickLACE™ closure.
The END. x Salomon XT-6 ‘Emerald’ will drop on March 21, 2025, via END. Launches. It will be available online and in-store on March 28, 2025.
END. celebrates 20 years with a Salomon XT-6 collab
Original post: January 5, 2025 - END. hits a major milestone in 2025: the 20th anniversary of the British retailer founded by Christiaan Ashworth and John Parker. To celebrate, the store has teamed up with Salomon once again. Back in 2023, we saw the END. x Salomon XT-6 'Dark Truffle,' and now, two years later, they’re dropping a fresh colorway for the popular trail runner.
The END. x Salomon XT-6 '20th Anniversary' blends a clean, minimalist design with bold details. The upper features breathable dark grey mesh with reflective silver overlays, giving it a proper gorpcore vibe. Subtle yet striking jade green accents highlight the stitching on the eyestays, tongue labels, and rubber outsole.
To top it off, the END. logo is displayed on the tongue, alongside a nod to the anniversary with 'Salomon for END.’s 20th Anniversary' text on the tongue strip.
Underneath the upper, you’ll find Salomon’s trusted tech, including a white foam midsole and the Agile Chassis System for top-notch support. The green accents on the sole bring a playful edge to the design while keeping the durability and grip Salomon is known for.
The sneaker is expected to drop in Spring 2025 at END. Stay in the loop by checking out the Sneakerjagers release calendar regularly!
