François d’Haene X Salomon
Born from a decade of shared vision.
A unique collaboration
Since their first steps together in 2009, Salomon and François d’Haene have always been pushing in the same direction to improve, develop, reinvent Salomon trail-running equipment. Today, this shared vision comes to life through a 360° head-to-toe silhouette dedicated to all ultrarunners.

“I see it as our collection – Salomon, myself, trail runners everywhere. It’s a community-minded approach that is in sync with our common values.”
“The products in the Ultra collection have been designed to be easy to forget. During an ultra, there are so many parameters that can change that it's a relief to have products in which you can have complete confidence from start to finish. In my case, at the Diagonale des Fous, from a physical point of view, there wasn't much going well at the end of the race, but at least I didn't have to think about my equipment. ”

The Salomon Ultra collection mission statements:
To share access to the very best ultra trail equipment with ultrarunners everywhere
To convey François’ and Salomon ultra trail values, culture and spirit
To create products that are versatile and can be used throughout the year
To place a newfound emphasis on sustainability and durability.
“It's a collection truly dedicated to ultra-trail running. The shoe, for example, thanks to its ground filter, enabled me to finish a technical race like the Diagonale des Fous with my feet in very good condition. The shorts are also made for long distance running: with a precise fit that prevents chafing and accessible pockets, they combine comfort and functionality. ”
