Origins 

Salomon has come a long way since their founder, Francois Salomon, established the brand in 1947. The brand originally focused on winter sports gear, specifically saw blade and ski edge fabrication. Later, it started also offering gear for trekking, hiking, running and, most recently, casual lifestyle wear. 

Transition to fashion

Salomon achieved this transition through a series of well-timed streetwear and high fashion collabs. Everything started with a runway debut in Boris Bidjan Saberi’s Spring/Summer 2017 show. From there, brands like Palace, Comme des Garçons, Beams, Dover Street Market, Hidden NY and Carhartt WIP have turned Salomon’s performance sneakers into streetwear hits that offer performance and style.
