Salomon XT-4 OG Black Desert Tan
The Salomon XT-4 OG Black Desert Tan with style code L49217100 is the utility-flavoured take on Salomon's chunkiest archive trail racer. The XT-4 hails from the brand's early-2010s racing catalogue and carries even more visible tech than the slimmer XT-6, with an exposed chassis and aggressive lines built for punishing terrain. This edition leans into that rugged character: a black base meets desert tan and vanilla ice for an earthy, expedition-ready palette. It is the pair for wearers who want their technical footwear to look like equipment, sitting comfortably between the trail and a workwear-inspired city fit.
Colorway: Black/Desert Tan/Vanilla Ice
The Black/Desert Tan/Vanilla Ice colorway builds the XT-4's layered mesh and welded overlays on a black foundation that keeps the shoe grounded and easy to keep fresh. Desert tan panels warm up the midfoot and detailing with a dusty, sandy tone straight from arid-terrain gear, while vanilla ice accents lighten the design in the right places. The visible stability chassis and sculpted heel clip flaunt the racing hardware, the Quicklace system with lace pocket keeps things practical, and the deep-lugged Contagrip outsole bites into any surface. Style it with olive cargos, black nylon, tan canvas or full earth-tone layering for maximum effect. Style code L49217100 is a natural pick for the utility-minded rotation.
How does the Salomon XT-4 OG Black Desert Tan fit?
The Salomon XT-4 OG Black Desert Tan fits sporty and close to the foot, in keeping with its trail racing origins. Most wearers can take their usual size and get the wrapped, secure hold the chassis construction is designed to deliver, with the Quicklace system making adjustment quick and even. If you have wider feet or want extra room in the toe box, going half a size up is a safe call. The cushioned midsole and supportive heel keep this rugged silhouette surprisingly comfortable during long days of wear.
