【Urban Research x Salomon】For spring and summer footwear, get the “custom gray”! I want to grab it with advance reservations
An outdoor brand “Salomon” that stands out in street scenes around the world. This spring, a refined coloring that fits urban life has emerged through a partnership with Urban Research. This piece, debuting in the spring/summer season of 2026, is a new milestone in the exclusive collection following the popular model “XT-Whisper.” It's a noteworthy pair that fuses function and sensitivity at a high level.
GORE-TEX technology that balances environmental consideration and high functionality
This time we're checking the "XT-6 GORE-TEX," an exclusive from Salomon for URBAN RESEARCH. One of its major features is the adoption of the latest "PFC-free ePE membrane."
This new material maintains high waterproof and breathable performance while reducing environmental impact, embodying the modern need for "sustainable high functionality." Additionally, it features a mesh structure that prevents the intrusion of sand and small stones, cushioning that maintains comfort even during long walks, and a frame structure that enhances stability, equipping it with the capability to tackle urban asphalt and off-road terrain.

A special order color "W.IRON" with a soft nuance
The special order color "W.IRON" dispels the inorganic feel often found in technical shoes with its exquisite hue. A gray with an industrial vibe that also evokes warmth is truly unique. Even under the strong summer sun, it creates a light impression and naturally blends with seasonal items like linen pants, technical shorts, and nylon shirts.
Releasing on April 29, 2026, pre-orders have already begun.
Scheduled for general release on April 29, 2026, but advance reservations have started on the Urban Research online store. Both men's and women's sizes are available in a wide range, suitable for anyone regardless of gender. It will be available in Urban Research stores nationwide and online. If you want to make sure to get it, early checks are recommended.
