Salomon RX Slide / Relax footwear

Salomon's 'Relax' line, specifically popular for footwear like the RX Slide, was developed as technical recovery gear for athletes after intense physical activity. Born in the French Alps, the brand focuses on biomechanical design to provide comfort and muscle relief.

While the brand originated in Annecy, France, manufacturing is now distributed globally, with the majority of footwear production occurring in major hubs like Vietnam and China to leverage advanced athletic footwear manufacturing capabilities.

Following its long-standing ownership by Amer Sports, Salomon remains a flagship brand within that same group. Since 2019, Amer Sports has been owned by a consortium led by ANTA Sports, making the ultimate corporate ownership Chinese-led, though Salomon maintains its design and operational headquarters in France.
