Salomon is a French outdoor sports brand founded in 1947 by Francois Salomon and his family in Annecy, France, at the foot of the French Alps. Originally a saw blade and ski edge manufacturer, Salomon evolved into one of the world's leading mountain sports brands through relentless innovation and engineering excellence. The brand made its first major breakthrough with ski bindings in the 1960s and 1970s, eventually becoming the world's top-selling ski binding brand. Salomon subsequently expanded into ski boots, alpine skis, cross-country skiing equipment, hiking footwear, trail running shoes, and outdoor apparel. The brand's trail running footwear has become particularly iconic, with the Salomon Speedcross and S/Lab Ultra models becoming industry benchmarks for technical trail performance. In recent years, Salomon has experienced a remarkable crossover into fashion and streetwear culture, with its XT-6 trail shoe becoming one of the most sought-after sneakers in contemporary fashion. The brand has collaborated with fashion designers and brands including Comme des Garcons and MM6 Maison Margiela, further cementing its fashion credibility. Salomon's winter sports equipment remains world-class, with alpine skis, ski boots, and cross-country gear used by competitive athletes and recreational enthusiasts worldwide. Now part of Amer Sports, which was acquired by a consortium led by ANTA Sports in 2019, Salomon benefits from significant investment in product development and global distribution. The brand maintains its headquarters and design center in Annecy, France, staying close to the mountain environments that inspire its products.
