Redefining the XT-4 OG

August 21, 2025

Salomon has linked with Bodega for a fresh spin on the XT-4 OG, a trail-running icon that now drifts somewhere between forest floor and office carpet. Framed through the soft grain of a 90s camping trip, when thermoses dented easily and plaid was worn without irony, the collaboration leans into a nostalgia that feels tactile rather than overproduced. The campaign moves between indoor and outdoor spaces, suggesting that a shoe built for rough terrain might belong under a desk as much as it does on a trail.

The XT-4 OG keeps Salomon’s technical backbone intact with rugged outsoles and weather-ready materials, yet its language has shifted. Function meets a more fluid sense of design that treats performance not as a constraint but as an aesthetic. It is less about leaving the city than about carrying that same grit through it, into spaces that demand both adaptability and edge.

Alpha Industries: SS26 Onion Quilting Collection

February 04, 2026

Alpha Industries introduces the Onion Quilting Collection. Originally designed as part of the U.S. Army’s cold-weather layering system to deliver lightweight insulation without restricting movement, onion quilting traces back to the quilted liner of the M-65 Field Jacket. For Spring/Summer 2026, Alpha reinterprets this heritage through the ALS-92 liner, a contemporary evolution developed for civilian wear.

Inspired by ALS-92, the Onion Quilting Collection translates the intent of the original system into a modern context, maintaining a focus on mobility and versatility. Each piece reflects Alpha’s consistent approach to utility-driven design, strengthening the brand’s commitment to authentic heritage through modern construction and restraint.
