Side Kicks Streetwear • Global Release Guide
Updated: 29 January 2026
Overview
NAKED Copenhagen continues its strongest partnership to date with another take on the Salomon XT-6, this time built for winter conditions. Following the breakout Neapolitan pair from 2025, the duo return with a Gore-Tex equipped version that leans into colder weather without losing the soft colour palette that made the original collab so popular.
The result is the NAKED Copenhagen x Salomon XT-6 Gore-Tex “Ballad Blue White Pepper”, a trail runner that balances outdoor performance with lifestyle wearability. It is technical, weather ready, and still subtle enough to work as an everyday shoe.

Design and details
Built on Salomon’s most recognisable trail silhouette, this XT-6 uses a full Gore-Tex membrane to add waterproof protection without sacrificing breathability. The upper comes dressed in soft Ballad Blue mesh, layered with taped overlays in White Pepper and muted brown tones that keep the palette grounded.
NAKED branding runs down the tongue and defines the central stripe, keeping the collaboration visible but restrained. Underfoot, Salomon’s ACS chassis provides stability, while the Contagrip outsole delivers reliable traction across wet pavement and light trail terrain.
It is the kind of shoe that works just as well on a rainy city commute as it does on a weekend walk, which is exactly why the XT-6 continues to dominate both performance and fashion conversations.

Why this XT-6 collaboration matters
NAKED Copenhagen has quietly become one of the most important voices in women focused sneaker retail. Their first XT-6 collaboration helped push Salomon deeper into fashion spaces that were already warming to technical footwear.
This Gore-Tex follow up shows restraint rather than escalation. Instead of louder colours or extra detailing, the focus is on function and seasonality, proving that the XT-6 can evolve without losing its identity.
