Salomon has partnered with FP Movement to launch a limited sneaker capsule collection. This strategic move aims to expand the brand's visibility and reach among younger female consumers in the North American market.
Why it matters
By leveraging specific collaborations and colorways, Salomon seeks to tap into significant revenue potential. The brand is looking to solidify its position in the lifestyle footwear sector while growing its direct-to-consumer audience.
The XT-6 sneaker retails for $185, while the XT-Whisper model is priced at $145. The Sportstyle line now accounts for 40 percent of total Salomon sales, with nearly 1 million pairs of the XT-Whisper sold over an 18-month period.
