Salomon and Latin Grammy-winning artist, FERXXO, announce the launch of the XT-Pathway 2 FERXXO. The highly anticipated debut marks a major milestone for Salomon, with FERXXO stepping into dual roles as both global ambassador and creative partner. This collaboration unites Salomon’s trailblazing design with FERXXO’s creative vision, setting the stage for a release that speaks to both performance and culture.
A longtime fan and wearer of Salomon footwear, FERXXO—born Salomón Villada Hoyos—brings his personal style and cultural roots to the reimagined XT-Pathway 2 FERXXO. The design channels the energy of his music and the spirit of his community, creating a bold intersection of performance footwear and global culture.
The XT-Pathway 2 FERXXO builds on the original XT-Pathway, a cornerstone silhouette within the XT Family known for blending trail heritage with modern design. Inspired by the lush mountains of ‘Medallo’ (Medellín), FERXXO’s hometown in Colombia, the sneaker is energized by his signature green color—a symbol of hope. Distinctive details bring the collaboration to life: glow-in-the-dark materials, custom charms on the QuicklaceTM system, a woven “FXXOMOR” label, and a hand-drawn caricature by FERXXO himself.
We’re thrilled to launch this collaboration with FERXXO at a time of incredible momentum for Salomon and growing demand from his global fanbase. FERXXO has been an incredible partner, bringing authenticity, dedication, and intentionality into everything he does—aligning perfectly with Salomon’s commitment to performance, culture, and creativity. We hope this partnership inspires people to explore new experiences, express themselves authentically, and come together through a shared passion for innovation and creativity.” – Jenny Taylor, VP of Marketing, Salomon
“I’m really excited to step into the role of creative director for my collections with Salomon. Whenever I take on a project, I give it my all, and this shoe is no different—it was made to stand out. We pushed boundaries by adding signature charms, something never seen on a Salomon shoe before, as a way to bring my own personal touch. And with the glow-in-the-dark finish, it becomes truly one-of-a-kind—just like the energy I want to bring to everything I do.” – FERXXO
Together, Salomon and FERXXO celebrate the intersection of sport, music and culture—while inspiring a new generation of global creatives and tastemakers to forge their own connection to nature.
