This is one of my favorite colorways to come out since the orange XT-6 that came out last year. Idk why, but I always end up loving the more vibrant pairs & this has been the only pair of XT-6's I have worn for the past few weeks.

Materials: The best comparison with past Kith collabs is that it is a more vibrant & unique steel blue colorway, but, above the outsole is wrapped in a dark forest green. The majority of the upper is made up of a hexagon pattern liner that has a very durable feel that will hold up very well in different terrains & conditions. Inside the sneaker is lined with the goretex material that covers the entire inside and stops where the internal tongue is separated from the lacing system & mesh liner. My favorite part is the very subtle kith branding on the tongue & on the insole. Lastly, the outsole of the sneaker is excellent for trails & gives you great traction & control while hiking or even just running around in different terrains.

Comfort/Sizing: I personally feel like the xt-6 is one of the more comfortable salomon's I have tried to date. The XT-6 has a nice stable feeling on the heel, but as you move down your foot, it has a softer & more squishy feel. IMO, the model molds to your feet bc of the sock-like design. I will note that I feel like when I am walking/hiking, I have the perfect amount of control in my range of motion. For sizing: I always buy these in a size 8 & they fit me perfectly. If you have a slightly wide or a wide foot go up a half size due to the narrow shape.

Overall Opinion: as of right now, this is my favorite GORETEX colorway to have released. Given that it is goretex & an xt6 model, I think these will continue to get a lot of continued wear on them. These GORETEX Salomon's have pretty much taken over my normal leather sneakers that I would wear on a rainy day. It's crazy to think that this is just the beginning of what is to start coming leading into 2023.

If you made it this far, I wanted to say thank you for taking time out of your night to read my thoughts. Thank you for the continued support, much love
