Salomon XA PRO 3D V9 W sports shoes

Salomon is a historic French brand founded in 1947 by François Salomon in Annecy, initially manufacturing ski edges. Over decades, it evolved into a global leader in outdoor sports equipment and footwear. While the brand carries a strong French heritage, its manufacturing is now global, with production facilities primarily located in Vietnam, China, and Cambodia to meet international demand.

Today, Salomon is owned by Amer Sports, a major sporting goods group. Since 2019, Amer Sports has been controlled by a consortium led by the Chinese sportswear giant Anta Sports. This ownership structure represents a blend of European product design and heritage with the global distribution and financial backing of one of the world's largest sports apparel companies.
