As Salomon’s sales tilt toward sneakers and fashion partnerships, its collaboration with Copenhagen cycling brand Pas Normal Studios brings the same design-led approach to all-terrain running gear, linking growth in running to the mountain sports the brand was built on.

Salomon is taking its partnership with Pas Normal Studios, the Copenhagen cycling brand, into winter. The Fall/Winter 2026 collection brings three running products to cold-weather training: a waterproof all-terrain shoe, a hydration vest and a running belt, each finished in the Danish label’s colors.

The release presents the range as a natural next step from earlier joint work, built for runners who refuse to let the temperature drop slow them down.

The Aero Blaze 4 GTX sits at the center. Built for daily mileage on varied ground, it combines Salomon’s light cushioning with a Gore-Tex membrane to keep water out. It weighs 239 grams, with an 8-millimeter heel-to-toe offset, a stack height of 35 millimeters at the heel and 27 at the forefoot, and 2.5-millimeter lugs.

The Gravel Concept 2 vest holds two 500-milliliter soft flasks. Its front pockets take a phone, keys, food or a headlamp, a back compartment fits an extra layer and reflective details help in low light. An S/LAB Belt rounds out the set.

All-terrain gear rooted in Salomon’s core

Salomon made its name in ski equipment, now a minority of the business. Sportstyle sneakers account for roughly 40 percent of revenue, and fashion labels like MM6 Maison Margiela co-design its shoes.

The Pas Normal Studios line keeps one foot in the original world: its shoe and vest move from city gravel to open trail, and the winter brief points back to the French Alps, where Salomon started.

It also fits where the growth is. Running remains the main driver inside Amer Sports’ Outdoor Performance division, which Salomon leads, and the gravel line is helping the brand into run specialty stores in North America. Naming the vest after gravel ties the collaboration to a category Salomon has worked to define.
