Salomon x The Broken Arm SAVÁT Releases June 16
Salomon has tapped Paris-based boutique The Broken Arm for a new collaborative silhouette called the SAVÁT, a sneaker constructed from single-piece leather with visible seams that intentionally celebrate handmade construction. The model arrives in two colorways—Cosmic Sky and Black Olive—on June 16.

The reunion between Salomon and The Broken Arm marks a return to artisanal footwear construction at a moment when sneaker culture is increasingly drawn to heritage craft methods. The SAVÁT departs from contemporary sneaker orthodoxy by embracing the imperfections and transparency of handmade production—a philosophy that feels deliberately countercultural in an era of maximalist design language.
Constructed entirely from a single piece of leather, the silhouette leaves its seams exposed and emphasizes the visible construction process. This design choice isn't accidental; it positions the shoe as an artifact of manual labor rather than industrial efficiency. The approach aligns with The Broken Arm's curatorial sensibility, the Paris boutique having long championed emerging designers and unconventional production methods.
Design & Colorways
Two colorways anchor the release. Cosmic Sky presents a tonal, ethereal palette that evokes natural light and open space, while Black Olive grounds the silhouette in earthy restraint. Both colorways prioritize material legibility—the leather's texture and construction method remain the focal point rather than graphic treatments or technical overlays.
This collaborative approach reflects a broader shift in how heritage outdoor brands like Salomon are positioning themselves within sneaker culture, moving away from gear-focused performance narratives toward lifestyle and craft appreciation.
