Salomon and The Broken Arm reunite for handmade-inspired SAVÁT sneaker
SAVÁT turns Salomon’s trail DNA into a handmade-looking sneaker, with visible seams, embroidery and a peasant-shoe profile, priced at $170.
Salomon has found a sharper way to make technical footwear feel luxurious: let the craft show. The new SAVÁT, made with Paris boutique The Broken Arm, trades in visible seams, artisanal embroidery and a tongueless lacing system, then grounds the silhouette in Salomon’s rugged performance sole.
Built from a humble peasant shoe, SAVÁT uses split-suede leather, a redesigned upper and a Mud contaGRIP outsole. Salomon lists the unisex style at 8 oz per shoe and $170, a price that keeps it in the realm of serious collaboration sneakers rather than the rarefied territory of fashion-house runners. The shoe also landed on Salomon’s June 2026 launch calendar under the name SAVÁT THE BROKEN ARM Sneakers - Unisex, with two colorways, Cosmic Sky and Black Olive, and a global release date of June 16, 2026 through Salomon, The Broken Arm and select retailers.
That mix of handmade references and technical utility is exactly why the shoe reads as current. Salomon’s campaign language ties SAVÁT to adolescence, countryside summers and the wear patterns of things passed down, giving the sneaker a memory-heavy mood that feels more editorial than purely athletic. In a market crowded with blunt trail soles and logo-first collaborations, the details matter most here: the embroidery softens the profile, the exposed construction makes the shoe look considered, and the Performance sole keeps it from drifting into costume.
The collaboration also carries real history. The Broken Arm, the Parisian concept store founded in 2013, and Salomon, founded in 1947 in Annecy, France, have been building on one another’s strengths for years across multiple seasons. A 2020 Salomon story placed their partnership at five years already, which puts the start of the relationship around 2015. SAVÁT is the next step in that exchange, and a clear sign that even the most performance-driven brands now need an artisanal point of view to stand out.
