The Salomon XT-4 Gets Intricate with New "Needlepoint" Colorways

As an experienced trail runner with years of trekking through the rugged wilderness under my belt, I must say that the Salomon XT-4 “Needlepoint” pack has caught my eye. The fusion of rugged performance and stylish flair is nothing short of remarkable. These shoes embody the spirit of adventure, paying homage to the humble chalet – a sanctuary for weary travelers like myself.


Salomon originally designed the XT-4 for a tough trail runner capable of navigating the steepest mountain trails. Later, when it was reimagined as a lifestyle model (first with an upgraded XT-6 midsole and then in its original form featuring a substantial underfoot structure), its rugged spirit remained. Now, the XT-4 returns sporting a fresh collection of “Needlepoint” colorways, honoring a popular choice for both pre-hike and post-trail run: the chalet.

The “Needlepoint” collection comes in two color schemes: “Vanilla Ice” and “Black.” The design is influenced by traditional chalet decor and features a floral print. On the “Vanilla Ice” shoes, this pattern includes vibrant raspberry flowers with grey accents, while on the “Black” pair, it maintains a white and grey palette. The “Vanilla Ice” model also highlights the raspberry color on its midsole cage, whereas the “Black” version incorporates a “Deep Lichen Green” tone in the same area. Both designs include multi-colored tongue tags and ample Salomon branding as finishing touches.

You can purchase the Salomon XT-4 “Needlepoint” hiking backpack from the Salomon online store and certain retailers such as UP THERE currently. Each pack is priced at a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $220 USD.
