Two iconic Salomon silhouettes get a fresh perspective from FP Movement, pairing technical performance with bold new colorways and a distinctly expressive point of view.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On Thursday, October 1, FP Movement––Free People's renowned activewear brand––launches its first-ever exclusive colorway collection with French mountain sports brand Salomon, bringing FP Movement's expressive approach to color to two of Salomon's most well-known silhouettes. The limited-edition collection reimagines the XT-6 and XT-Whisper, pairing Salomon's technical design heritage with unexpected colorways created exclusively for FP Movement.

Rooted in the belief that color can shift how we feel, the collection brings a sense of energy and optimism to every step. Designed to activate the aura, the vivid gradients celebrate creativity and intention, encouraging wearers to fuel joy through movement and embrace the transformative power of color.

The Salomon XT-6 ($185) takes on a new energy through this distinctly FP Movement ombré treatment. Bold washes of pink, mint, and ivory blend into one another, emphasized by vivid green accents that bring unexpected contrast to the iconic silhouette. Designed to make a statement beyond performance, the style pairs its distinctive finish with the comfort and technical details the XT-6 is known for, including responsive cushioning, ACS stability technology, and Salomon's signature Quicklace™ system.

The Salomon XT-Whisper ($145) brings a bold new look to the retro-inspired silhouette with a new finish created exclusively for FP Movement. Warm washes of coral, blush, and peach meet saturated purple and blue accents, highlighting the shoe's signature wavy SensiFit construction and creating a dynamic interplay of color throughout. Equal parts nostalgic and modern, the XT-Whisper is designed for everyday wear, pairing its standout palette with a lightweight feel, EVA and OrthoLite® cushioning, ACS stability technology, and Salomon's signature Quicklace™ system.

"Salomon and FP Movement share a deep belief in the power of movement to bring people together and create meaningful community. We've long admired the distinctive world Salomon has built, and this collaboration gave us the opportunity to bring our own point of view to two of its most beloved styles. Through unexpected color and thoughtful design, we hope to inspire women to move with joy, embrace individuality, and make these styles entirely their own," says FP Movement Global President Andrea Perez.

"FP Movement brings a distinct, expressive view to activewear, and we're excited to see that vision come to life through two iconic Salomon silhouettes. This partnership reflects our shared belief that performance and self-expression can go hand-in-hand. Through vibrant colors and unexpected details, we've reimagined the XT-6 and XT-Whisper in a way that feels fresh yet unmistakingly true to both brands and the communities we serve," says Salomon's Vice President of Marketing, Jenny Taylor.

The limited-edition XT-6 and XT-Whisper collection will be available beginning Thursday, October 1, on FPMovement.com and in select FP Movement and Salomon stores.
