Salomon Panhui Pack Honours The Year of the Snake

Salomon has pulled from its archives to deliver three themed gems for the new year – the XT-Whisper, XT-Quest and X Alp Suede arrive with a Panhui patterning, ready to turn heads this January 2025. 

Reimagined to honour the Chinese New Year, this iconic silhouette fuses legacy design with thoughtful modern touches, making it a must-have purchase for those who love an outdoor-coded, yet fashion-esque, steez.

A Closer Look at the Salomon Panhui Pack…

XT-Whisper (LI8423) / XT-Quest (LI8422) / X Alp Suede (LI8424)

The collection’s muted colour palette of soft beige, off-white, and subtle greys exudes a harmonious balance between outdoor ruggedness and urban minimalism. Each sneaker in the trio is elevated by tactile material choices, from breathable mesh to premium suede overlays, ensuring a blend of functionality and style. Signature Salomon elements like Contragrip soles, Quicklace systems, and ergonomic cushioning remain intact, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to performance-driven aesthetics. Small but striking details, such as red accents on lace loops and midsoles, add an understated yet sophisticated contrast to the pack’s earthy tones.

The XT-Whisper Panhui leads the charge with an intricate panel construction and wave-like overlays, providing a futuristic yet organic appeal. Its XT-Quest counterpart follows suit, merging a trail-ready structure with lightweight engineering, featuring breathable mesh and rugged outsole traction. Meanwhile, the X-Alp Suede (LI8424) rounds out the pack with a more robust, workwear-inspired aesthetic, emphasising durability through suede reinforcements and a structured silhouette. Whether on the trails or the streets, the Salomon Panhui Pack seamlessly bridges the gap between technical precision and contemporary sneaker culture.
