SS26 Pas Normal Studios x Salomon - A New Terrain for Movement
There’s a moment, beyond the city limits, where the road stops asking for perfection. The surface softens, the pace shifts, and instinct takes over. It’s here, between asphalt and gravel, that Pas Normal Studios and Salomon meet for SS26. Launching 27 May, this limited-edition collaboration explores a shared mindset: movement without boundaries. Rooted in Pas Normal Studios’ technical cycling heritage, fused with its experimental T.K.O. aesthetics, and powered by Salomon’s performance innovation, the collection is built for those who don’t choose between disciplines but move fluidly across them.
At the centre of the collaboration is the GRVL Concept: a performance shoe engineered for hybrid terrain. Drawing from the systems of road 'super shoes', the design introduces a PEBA-based supercritical foam midsole for soft landings and maximum energy return. Dual full-length carbon blades create a responsive and propelling run. Underfoot, the outsole reflects a cycling-informed approach to traction. Inspired by bike tyre geometry, shallow 1.5mm lugs provide grip and stability on loose surfaces while preserving speed on asphalt. A 43mm / 37mm stack height paired with a 6mm drop delivers a balanced, high-performance platform designed for versatility. At just 262 grams, the shoe remains lightweight without compromising protection, enhanced further by an integrated knitted gaiter and Salomon’s quickLACE™ system for precision fit and debris control.
The design language is distinctly Pas Normal Studios: minimal yet deliberate. A cohesive palette and subdued graphic application ensure the product feels as considered visually as it is technically - an extension of the brand’s philosophy that performance and aesthetics should never exist in isolation.

SS26 T.K.O. is conceived from the idea of unifying our seasonal graphic narratives into a single expression. Rooted in a natural inclination toward movement, the collection evolves as a hybrid concept. In this spirit, we’ve partnered with Salomon to develop a gravel running shoe and a camel running vest, both reflecting the same value set as our mainline products. The colour palette visualises the elements of a dusty, sandy hybrid surface, contrasted by the yellow of the sun and the blue of the sky. As a counterpoint to the tactile, DIY-inspired aesthetic, the collection is branded with a silver-grey reflective heat transfer, supporting a more subtle, yet still highly functional expression.

Extending the ecosystem, the RACE SKIN 2 running vest introduces a performance pack designed for athletes navigating mixed terrain. Developed with the same principles of precision and lightness, it features a body-hugging fit for stability at speed. Dual front flasks ensure immediate hydration access, while a rear compartment accommodates a hydration bladder, supporting longer efforts where adaptability is key.
Together, the pieces form a unified system, bridging cycling and running through a shared technical lens. A category, shaped not by rules, but by how movement feels when the boundaries fall away.
