The Salomon x Andrew XT-6 “Stone Crab” is one of those collaborations that feels effortless because it taps into something hyper-local yet instantly recognisable. Miami’s stone crab culture isn’t a trend, it’s a ritual that defines a season, a flavour, and a rhythm in the city. Andrew takes that heritage and folds it into Salomon’s most iconic model with a level of storytelling that never feels forced.
The upper delivers the first hit: a coral gradient that mirrors the colour shift of a fresh stone crab shell, warm and bright but smoothed out with Salomon’s technical polish. Speckled black overlays mirror the patterning found on the claws, adding texture and movement without overwhelming the build. The metallic accents then flip the mood entirely, bringing in the cool shine of steel trays and seafood counters from Miami’s oldest institutions.
Citrus notes cut through the design like a garnish, literally. Those lime-green pops reference the wedges served beside every plate, but they also add sharpness to what is otherwise a warm, coral-heavy palette. Even the sockliner has intent: icy, translucent, and refreshing, echoing the cold displays that define stone crab season.
What makes this pair work so well is how naturally it fits into the XT-6 storytelling lineage. Salomon has built a real niche around shoes that honour local culture, niche rituals, or personal narratives but the Andrew pair feels bigger, louder, and more playful without abandoning the technical DNA of the silhouette.
