The Salomon XT Whisper Void x Carpet Company Habibi Express in Fiery Red, Black, and Footwear Silver is a collaborative release that brings together Salomon's technical trail and lifestyle platform with one of skateboarding's most distinctive and culturally specific creative voices, the Carpet Company's handmade rug-inspired aesthetic and irreverent design intelligence meeting Salomon's outdoor engineering tradition in a colorway that carries the collaborative energy and creative specificity that only the most thoughtfully conceived brand partnerships can produce. Carpet Company has built an extraordinary reputation within the skateboarding and street culture community through a consistently unexpected and visually distinctive approach to collaborative work that rewards genuine cultural knowledge and brand awareness from the collector who encounters it, and the Habibi Express naming adds the warm and slightly playful cultural reference that is completely consistent with Carpet's established collaborative design vocabulary. Fiery red, black, and footwear silver create a colorway that carries the intensity and visual boldness that the Habibi Express name's energy suggests, the warm and vivid red against the dark base and silver accent creating a shoe that communicates collaborative creative conviction rather than safe commercial palette selection.

Salomon collaborative releases with skateboarding-adjacent and street culture specific creative partners represent one of the most interesting and culturally generative directions in the brand's current collaborative program, the Carpet Company's specific and community-rooted design identity giving the XT Whisper Void platform a street credibility and cultural biography that extends far beyond standard outdoor lifestyle brand partnerships into the more specific and devoted communities that follow both Carpet Company and Salomon's most design-ambitious seasonal output with genuine attention and acquisition intention. The Void specification within the XT Whisper family signals specific construction or material details that distinguish this collaborative version from standard XT Whisper production, and combined with the Carpet Company design input creates a shoe that rewards the collector's investment with genuine differentiation from the platform's standard seasonal expressions.
