I was hoping Salomon would stay lowkey. I used to be able to buy Xt-6 models for almost 50% off but now they seem to be selling out fast, especially the all white models. But I'm also happy that they are blowing up since we'll be getting more models, colorways and collabs. What I hope is that they stay closer to the modern/sleeker silhouettes like the xt6 instead of the vintage/retro/ chunky ones sorta like xa pro. Some alternatives are Merrell's 1trl and MQM ACE CRAZE line if u wanna check em out.
I feel that. I was the same w carhartt and new balance. However things will cost more and product less readily available. It's pros and cons. However I have met some people who think they are Salomon/carhartt wip/new balance die hards but are just trend riding. That's also good tbh brand gets growth and I get more people to talk to about brands 😂
I felt the same way about ASICS. They were the only shoe I’d ever wear, the Foundation was my favorite but the KAYANO had been in my closet or by my door for many many years
From a purely visual perspective, I feel like this is the type of shoes that look miles better when you see them with a complete outfit. Really like how you've done it in the few clips of you wearing them.
I was just shoe shopping online, saw these and thought “oh these are cool. I wonder if they are any good” took it to TH-cam and was pleasantly to surprised to see you had a video on them! Fun stuff
in the last half year, I've noticed a number of streetwear shops have been stocking hiking/trail running shoes and boots, which seemed odd. But now it seems that brands like Salomon, which I've only associated with hiking and mountaineering, are becoming fashionable. The ACS Pro in all black looks great, regardless of whether they are trendy right now.
I love my pair and definitely the styling just works. I wouldn’t look at these as an upgrade but more a retro as these as you said are essentially the 2005 Salomon GCS pro but with an updated midsole to incorporate the acs technology. The original was actually in collaboration with adidas hence why a year later the climax I’ll came out with very similar aesthetic. Anyway great vid and definitely agree that these will be an IYKYK pair this year for people.
My mom has been a hardcore runner for a while, so I've known about Salomon for a bit now, and its cool to see them blowing up showing up in more fashion-centric circles, and shaking up the usual suspects when it comes to footwear
They've been pretty well known among those circles for a while know. The 11 by BBS collabs and the S-Lab Alpine had a huge part in that I'm sure, but also the popularity of the "mainline" shoes like the XT in Japan's hikercore scene
I don’t mind these but they’d currently be towards the bottom list of my list of preferred Salomon trainers or boots. The mesh upper reminds me of Adidas Climacool trainers from the early 2000’s and the suggestion that they have a “torsion” feature in the sole reminds me of the fact that Adidas owned Salomon up until 16 yrs ago so there could have been some crossover features between the two company’s products (although the rectangles around the toe box on these ACS remind e of Nike Sunder Max shoes) I’m going to stick with my XT-6’s, Mid Ultra X 3’s and Speedcross 4’s for now whilst I also hope to pick up a pair of Quest Element GTX boots in the sales
Love the color of these and the tech... is it me or do these look a bit like beefed up Vomero 5s? Still might just have to cop. I do like things colored slightly green, and I'm not even into gorpcore.
£175 they were. In my basket reserved for me as well by Salomon for a while. Saw that they would be releasing more in February and I was like ahhhhh maybe not. I wish I did now.
@@iverbronx hi, I sometimes wear these salomons to work (for 8,5 hours), but rather in my free time with a good outfit for about 5-6 hours (city walking) and it's not a problem. My feet never hurt in these shoes. I bought them online at a 50% discount, which is a great choice for me. For me, it's a half size up and I feel good in them (but it will probably be individual). If possible, try these shoes on in the shop. Sorry for my bad english 😇
Really want these but they’re $400+ on StockX…what’s your source that they’re dropping again in Feb? I can’t find info about that anywhere but definitely want to be there if it does happen. Cheerz
Big fan of the Speedcross; ordering the goretex in black since I found a place that has stock in my size. Aesthetically, I really like the black with the red highlights and the "this can wall-run on marble" looks of the Speedcross, but the SACSPA (i don't care i'm callin them that) moved up on my list if I do decide to invest in a Dume or find some other excuse to make the lighter color scheme work, since I like the way it is put together visually and the lack of branding. I love Casio watches but I don't like my shoes acting like them, advertising every feature long after I bought them.
How’s the sizing like? You said tts, but you said same as xt-6 / xt-4. Most people go .5 up with xt-6 due to it’s width, which is what I did. Think I can get away with tts for this model?
These shoe fetishists should finally stop artificially making shoes more expensive. Salomon shoes are not a design product for me but simple practical and well thought-out shoes with very good ergonomics.
Pretty sure they once again don't come in smaller sizes for us afab people with smaller feet. I need a EU38 or UK5, usually those shoes always just come in mens sizes and that's usually EU41 and up. I really like this specific design though.
That's a shame, tbh I find at the bigger end of sizing Salomon also aren't super consistent. Some retailers don't stock UK 11.5 at all. Hope they realise there's a market for 6 and below though, there's a lot of people out there with small feet!
With UK vs US sizes, I was frustrated to get some FOTU US8.5 and find they were way too small for my UK8 feet. When I went to Nike Clearance, I got trainers to fit me, which were US9.5! Maybe it is just my foot shape (long and thin), but I don't think I'll ever buy blind again.
@@PrismFoxes Hm, maybe a US10 would fit me better then. But the chart I read, plus the Nike boxes, said UK is US-.5. So US8.5 = UK8. Ah well, at least I got the FOTU shoes on sale and might be able to sell them.
Great looking shoe, very sophisticated but those ventilation panels are absolutely dumb in my opinion, especially for a shoe that is created for outdoors with the possibility of changing weather. I'm just talking about rain but intense / cold wind would be the same. It's like Adidas ClimaCool ; sick on paper but pretty much useless in reality.
@@ThisIsAntwon I spent a lot of my childhood summers and some winters on that mountain. I'm gunna have to go back just to cop the shirt, was it from the cafe on the top ?

@@aharansandhu6120 Jump on the asics wave then - no where near as much as. hype as New Balance, get so many good shoes on sale.

I think most Salomon's fit the "Dadliest catch" aesthetic and I for one am all for it.

Thanks! Agreed
I'm a huge Salomon fan, been running and wearing them casually
I wish the brand goes for more exotic and original designs in the next years

i don't need these but after watching this review i need them more than ever
I love that he used persona music as background music. As always great video
Loved the review, and sizing was explained perfectly... Thank you!
The collab that you recommended has come to life! Crazy colors on the Kar x Salomon collab

All of a sudden New Balance and Salomon on the catwalk

I love my black xt6 they are really comfortable, the colorway of the acs is definitely interesting!
really cool - love these....exceptional review too well done.

I thought the same with the Vomero 5 similarity! Sucks that they're so hard to find nowadays, really cool shoe
These look sick, love the technical feel of them. Nobody selling them in my country though
Would I be okay going a full size up?
Excellent review!
Great review! bought the black/grey/yellow, ID on the pants plz?
£175 they were. In my basket reserved for me as well by Salomon for a while. Saw that they would be releasing more in February and I was like ahhhhh maybe not. I wish I did now.
For some reason they were £175 on the site but once adding them to basket they changed to £195. Very annoying!
...great video 🙌...Great (hype/lifestyle) sneakers. I bought all white version "half size up" for my size and fit perfectly (tts was too tight).
Are they good for walking in general ? They won’t hurt your feet or back or anything ?

Even when my notifications for uploads randomly turn off I check back on the channel just to make sure I've not missed an upload.
new balance, salomon and asics on top this year icl
First Salomons I like, especially due to the subdued branding and colours.
Thanks for the review, these shoes look awesome ! Do you think they would be good for wide feet ?
Glad you enjoyed it! They fit me fine and I wouldn't say my feet are particularly narrow so you might be OK
I need these. I need these NOW! 😤
Any idea on what day these are dropping this month?
Really want these but they’re $400+ on StockX…what’s your source that they’re dropping again in Feb? I can’t find info about that anywhere but definitely want to be there if it does happen. Cheerz
Didn't catch sizing, would you say true to size?
As an average hikercore enjoyer, I do admit to liking slightly green stuff.
Thanks for the review. What’s the pants name and model?
Can you use these for running?

I am 9.5 us, what size should I order for this shoe?
These look like a great candidate to try dyeing to give that 11 By BBS look. Might have to practice on some thrifters first though! D:
What about waterproof/water resistence?
i am curious to know the pants and jacket you are wearing in the clip: @1:55 ?
I got a pair of the xt6 fts, the beige and green color way
These look like something my granddad would wear
definitely copping 😳
What colorway is this?
How’s the sizing like? You said tts, but you said same as xt-6 / xt-4. Most people go .5 up with xt-6 due to it’s width, which is what I did. Think I can get away with tts for this model?
I would stick with the same size as your XT-6 if you find those comfortable

Finally able to get a pair in an interesting colorway alloy!
honestly Salomon's look good, but as a hiking shoe thery're really lackluster, i've had a couple pairs that have sprung leaks real quick
That sucks to hear, my Speedcross have held up well so far but could be model-dependent I guess
nice shoe really good price
finna dip these in some coffee
Hey, you mostly cover male clothing, sure most techwear stuff is unisex basically, but i think it would be nice to cover some female Clothing

Uk size is US size - 1, or rather if you‘re an 8uk, you are a 9us

Ah well, at least I got the FOTU shoes on sale and might be able to sell them.
I always just go by US sizes when buying. For example I wear 7.5UK / 8.5US in Saucony, but 8UK / 8.5US in New Balance.
what pants are you wearing?
The black ones are Enfin Leve Ameztu and the blue are Arc'teryx Gamma MX. In the full-body shots I'm wearing Acronym P23TS-CH

It depends on the climate you will be in. You would want breathability over waterproofing in a hot climate, not all people live in cold places 😊
These look so good, but the price is just way too much for so many plastic-y details, in my opinion.
I feel like you get your money worth out of Salomon every single time
Can't believe we're in 2015 now.
i wish there was a black version://
Already bought a new pair of sneaker, trying to limit myself to one pair every summer. Last summer was Ecco biom 2.0
Does that t-shirt have the Snowdon summit on it or am I just crazy
Very good spot, it is indeed a t-shirt from Mt Snowdon

this shoe already selling for 500 they're already taken over
What brand of socks you're wearing man..
I think they're either Nike or Maharishi ones
pants id?
Hey buddy boy
Nike Vomeros but make it Salomon
Man too bad it's sold out everywhere 😒
Should be restocking in Feb!
True to size
they really look like the Nike ACW Vomero
Way too much going on for me
It look hanging on feet 🤣🤣
Checked out a pair, made in the Far East, poor quality, and very overpriced.
200$$$?$???? na a
looks like something you'd find at the walmart shoe department. no thanks
First, maybe second :))
These are terrible 😄
Gay
omg it looks like a walmart shoe
