Salomon and The Broken Arm unveil Savát leather sneaker for June 16 launch

Salomon and Parisian boutique The Broken Arm are pushing trail-runner style into a far quieter register with Savát, a leather sneaker that looks closer to handmade footwear than to a hard-charging performance shoe. The collaboration lands June 16 in Cosmic Sky and Black Olive, and its appeal is less about speed or technical flex than about restraint, craft, and the kind of boutique polish that turns a functional name into a wardrobe piece.

That is the sharpest move here. In a market still crowded with loud gorpcore references, Savát reads as a deliberate correction, one that keeps Salomon’s outdoor credibility but softens the language. The shoe’s visible construction, tongue-less silhouette, and speckled outsole make the design feel tactile and considered, while the overall shape stays pared back enough to work with tailored trousers, wide denim, or the kind of stripped-down wardrobe that treats a sneaker as a finishing touch, not a statement scream.

The Broken Arm’s product details make the concept even clearer. Savát is built around an URARA sole and a completely redesigned upper. It is described as very lightweight, cut without a tongue, and finished with a fixed elastic lacing system so it can be slipped on quickly. That combination gives the shoe a useful tension: it has the ease of a slip-on, but the visual discipline of a carefully made leather piece. It is the kind of sneaker that will matter to people who want Salomon’s cachet without the obvious trail-runner theatrics.

The campaign language pushes the mood even further from performance and toward lived-in memory, drawing on adolescence, adulthood, freedom, travel, wandering, and boredom. That framing fits a partnership that Salomon says has been unfolding for about five years, rooted in mountaineering and mountain sports but gradually widening into a more universal vocabulary. The Broken Arm and Salomon previously released the Pastoral shoe in 2025, and Savát continues that evolution toward more conceptual silhouettes rather than easy colorway tweaks.

Release listings place the shoe at $170, with unisex sizing and distribution through The Broken Arm, Salomon, and select retailers. For buyers who have grown tired of oversized, logo-heavy outdoor sneakers, Savát offers a cleaner proposition: a trail-bred shoe that has been edited for city life, and for a closet that values understatement as much as function.
