The Broken Arm Redesigns the Salomon XA Jungle

Renowned for its avant-garde collaborations, The Broken Arm once again redefines the boundaries of sneaker and boot design with its latest take on the Salomon XA Forces Jungle. 

Originally crafted as a military-grade boot for Special Forces, this tactical staple undergoes a remarkable transformation, fusing performance utility with high-fashion aesthetics.

A Closer Look at the Salomon x The Broken Arm XA Jungle (LI7033)…

The XA Forces Jungle, designed for extreme conditions, boasts a heritage steeped in resilience. With features like anti-debris mesh, drainage holes, and Salomon’s signature 3D Advanced Chassis for stability, the original model was a masterclass in functionality. However, The Broken Arm’s reimagining strips the boot of its overt militarism, replacing rugged minimalism with bold, textured design choices.

The most striking modification is the use of hairy suede overlays, which envelop the boot in an earthy, tactile charm. Contrasting olive and dark grey tones with subtle red stitching, the palette paints the picture of a refined yet utilitarian aesthetic. The high-cut silhouette, reminiscent of its tactical origins, complements an extended tongue and an additional suede lace cover, both of which exude a distinctive alpine-inspired steez.

The outsole remains faithful to Salomon’s trail-running legacy, delivering durability and grip, while the pared-down shape makes the boot more versatile for everyday wear.
