The Salomon X ULTRA 360 GORE-TEX GORAIKO stands as a highly conceptual, performance-driven tribute to Japan’s legendary summit, drawing direct design inspiration from “Goraiko” — the awe-inspiring viewing of the sunrise from the peak of Mount Fuji.
The upper features a charcoal grey sole unit and an off-white upper, evoking the shifting brightness against the dark volcanic rock ground. Technical mesh panels are reinforced with synthetic overlays, while the waterproof GORE‑TEX membrane ensures durability and weather protection. Branding is kept minimal, with a tonal Salomon logo along the lateral side and discreet detailing on the tongue, allowing the design narrative to focus on the natural inspiration.
The sole unit employs Salomon’s All Terrain Contagrip® outsole, delivering traction across rocky and uneven surfaces, while the midsole integrates EnergyCell cushioning for comfort during long treks. A speckled finish on the midsole nods to volcanic rock, tying the shoe’s aesthetic back to Fuji’s iconic landscape. Functional embellishments include quicklace technology for secure fastening and heel tabs for easy wear
