Kith Salomon Winter Sneakers Bring Three Trail Drops

Kith and Salomon are back with new kith salomon winter sneakers for the cold months, and the three-shoe lineup is led by a brand-new mid-cut silhouette. Alongside the newcomer, the collection brings back the XT-VYGR 2 and adds a Kith-exclusive XT-4 OG. The new XT-4K Mid reworks the low-cut original with a higher collar and seasonal colors, while the two returning styles arrive in fresh winter palettes. All three lean into the trail-running look that keeps crossing over from mountain paths into everyday streetwear.

The release happens in two waves. An early drop lands October 23 at the new Kith Vancouver flagship, timed to the store's opening celebration. The global release follows October 26 at 11 AM ET through Kith's website, the Kith app, and Kith stores worldwide. Prices are still to be announced, according to Sneaker News, which published detailed photos of the new kith salomon winter sneakers alongside the release dates. The three-day gap between the two waves gives the new store's opening weekend an exclusive first window before the wider release. The early Vancouver window covers all three styles, so local shoppers get first access to the Kith-exclusive colorway as well.

A mid-cut trail shoe leads the lineup

The standout newcomer is the mid-cut pair, a higher-cut rework of the low-cut original. It keeps the same trail-ready tooling while adding a taller collar built from mesh and synthetic overlays. Oversized KITH lettering runs along the lateral side, with UV artwork printed on the medial panel. The launch colorway mixes Black, Green Gaze, and Olive Night for a darker, winter-ready look, Modern Notoriety notes. The enlarged wordmark has become the signature of this line of the collaboration, and it appears here at full size.

Mid-cut trail shoes have become a reliable winter move for sneaker labels. The extra coverage suits cold weather, and the rugged soles handle wet pavement better than a low-cut runner. For Kith, the silhouette also extends a partnership with Salomon that has been running for about four years, Sole Retriever reports, making it one of the label's steadiest footwear collaborations. Salomon's trail models spent years as a niche performance pick before fashion labels started borrowing their tooling for city shoes, and Kith has kept returning to the French outdoor brand as a steady design partner. That longer history gives each new drop a built-in audience that carries over from season to season.

Two returning favorites round out the drop

The archive-inspired pair returns after debuting in the spring. Designed by Ronnie Fieg from Salomon's archives, it pairs TPU, ripstop, and heatmelt overlays with a hex-camo print on the toe and a ripstop shroud that hides the lacing system. For winter it arrives in Dark Navy, Dusty Orchid, and Transparent, a colder take on the original palette. Light green and pink accents on the tongue shroud keep the dark navy base from going flat, a detail Sole Retriever singled out in its coverage of the collection.

The third pair is the collection's Kith-only exclusive. It dresses the classic trail silhouette in Maroon Banner, Nocturne, and Knockout Pink, with a mesh base under synthetic overlays and Kith branding on the tongue and footbed, according to Modern Notoriety. Unlike the other two styles, it will only be available through Kith's own channels. Small hits of knockout pink also land on the sockliner and the Salomon Lab branding at the toe, tying the exclusive pair back to the performance roots both brands keep referencing.

An anniversary-year release

The drop lands during Kith's fifteenth anniversary year, which the label has marked with a run of collaborations and a footwear archive exhibition, Sole Retriever reports. The anniversary run has also included a string of collaborations and a special activation, giving the label plenty of practice at turning product launches into events. The new kith salomon winter sneakers continue that run, pairing the brand's design eye with Salomon's performance heritage. Kith confirmed the collection on its official site, where the full lookbook is now live.
