Salomon Sneaker Releases
Almost every sneaker brand has now made the new trend of inventing outdoor gear and edging shoes with a touch of luxury fashion but Salomon has been one step ahead of them by introducing the technical running sneaker hype when no one has thought about it. They kept their brand agenda simple and basic, related to designing sneakers that are built for the cause of function instead of giving a fashion vibe. Therefore, this engineering-based brand’s sneakers are mostly loved by people who are more into trail hiking, gym, running, etc.
However, as you know, everything gets extra hype if a celebrity or an influencer wears it. The same happened with Salomon as well when its sneakers were seen worn by Kanye West, Rihanna, and other famous influencers. The one thing we find interesting about this brand is that it is staying true to its core value of being focused on function, and it is attracting a new target audience towards it by introducing sneakers related to their needs and demands.
How it All Started with Salomon?
Salomon all started by keeping engineering, innovation, and smart moves in mind. The history leads back to the time before the Second World War when the brand owner made saw blades in his home workshop. After the war, François Salomon saw the opportunity of inventing ski edges when he saw tourists return to the mountains to ski, and his son took a step ahead to make this business flourish. His idea was to invent ski equipment and apparel, further expanding into footwear.
With a revenue of 1 million a year, Salomon was known as the world’s number one binding brand back in 1972. Further, the brand made its name popular by designing the most influential ski boots, snowboards, and hiking shoes. Did you know adidas bought Salomon in 1997 when it was interested in marketing Ski equipment and apparel but further sold it to Chinese sportswear giant Amer Sports in 2005? Again, the brand became more popular when Kilian Jornet Burgada was seen wearing Salomon shoes, a famous trail-running champion.
A Move Into Fashion
Until 2015, Salomon was only known for function-based sneakers that don’t collide with a fashion vibe. Then after the revolution of the fashion industry, Salomon introduced shoes with neon colors, mostly for the cause of high visibility on thrilling hiking and running tracks. This move turned into a collaboration between Salomon and The Broken Arm and they both invented the same design as Snowcross but with some innovative variations related to its outer sole and color range. Salomon’s move into fashion paid off well and we can say that the brand turned from a trail run to a catwalk.
