MM6 Maison Margiela is back with Salomon, and the partnership still knows how to make trail footwear feel fresh. Their next project keeps that outdoor foundation in place, but twists it through MM6’s offbeat fashion lens in a way that feels more styled than strictly technical.

The biggest talking point here is the new Cross Dust. The model shows up with a covered upper, and that shroud is stamped with MM6’s familiar number motif, giving the pair a look that feels a little stranger and a lot more distinctive than your average hiking-inspired sneaker. Based on this early preview, at least two color options are on the way.

Salomon is also reprising the XT-6, which makes plenty of sense when you consider just how well that model has performed for each brand individually. That model comes in three variations here, giving three takes on one of the collection fan favorites. It feels like Salomon and MM brought even more variety to the pack this time around, which helps the collection strike a nice balance of new and familiar.

Dates have not been revealed at this time, so for now this is merely a preliminary look at what MM6 Maison Margiela and Salomon have planned for Summer 2026. Even in these early stages, the collaboration is looking like another step forward for a partnership that continues to raise the bar when it comes to fashion-meets-function.
