Salomon is set to release a new collaboration with Baltimore, Md.-based skate brand Carpet Company this weekend. According to the Amer Sports-owned athletic company, the collaboration centers around the XT-Whisper Void silhouette, which is interpreted through Carpet Company’s distinctively playful lens. The design draws directly from the Maryland brand’s iconic 1995 Honda Acty Street van, nicknamed the “Habibi Express,” a daily fixture of its universe as much as a mode of transport. With its high gloss red finish, complemented by the Whisper Void silhouette’s iridescent TPU, chosen for its reflective quality that echoes the van’s windows, custom graphics, and signature devil horns, the design and colorway capture Carpet’s tongue-in-cheek love of the unexpected.
