A circular car graphic is embossed near the heel, while white L’ART lettering appears across the tongue and Salomon branding sits against the black forefoot guard. Underfoot, the XT-QUEST 2 retains its substantial trail-ready construction, combining a stability-focused bottom unit with a deeply lugged outsole; brown-to-olive marbling along the midsole adds a weathered, almost oil-stained effect that suits the garage-inspired concept.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
