Salomon Dyed The Whisper Olive And Dated It The Eighteenth

XT-WHISPER. Black / Black Olive / Shadow Green. L49237500. 18 September 2026. Wavy SensiFit. Quicklace. 290 grams.

Salomon dates XT-WHISPER “Black/Black Olive/Shadow Green” for Japan on 18 September 2026. Article L49237500. The color already sits on the global Whisper grid. Japan tickets on current Whisper SKUs print ¥23,100. Confirm yen on L49237500 when salomon.jp lists it. Do not mix with L49237300 (Almond Milk) or the FREAK’S exclusive that landed 11 September.

Whisper is the XT-line heir that started as a women’s trail last off XT-Hawk in the 2000s and came back as a street-trail hybrid. Official copy: textured layers, wavy SensiFit, Quicklace, Agile Chassis with EnergyCell, OrthoLite sockliner, rubber outsole, 11 mm drop, about 290 g. Protective toe cap. Lace garage. Reflective hits.

Hawk was sharp panels. Whisper rounded the overlays and kept the XT chassis idea. The 2024–26 revival sells that rounded cage as fashion texture. SensiFit is the wave that wraps the midfoot. Quicklace is one pull and a pocket for the leftover cord. Agile Chassis is the stability plate under the foam. Mud-capable rubber if the SKU uses Contagrip. Toe cap takes curb and root.

It is not XT-6. Six is the jumbo-mesh icon. Whisper is lighter in the eye and slight lower in street volume. 290 grams is the printed unit weight. 11 mm drop is trail math, not a race spike. Fit on Salomon trail lasts often runs short. People who live in XT-6 already know. People who only wear Dunks should try on.

Vietnam is a common origin on current cards. Textile and synthetic upper. Polyester lining. The shoe is a weekday trainer that can leave pavement. It is not a GTX boot. Wet rock is still wet rock.

Black / Black Olive / Shadow Green is a stacked dark as sit in the layer so the pair does not read as a flat black from ten feet. Photo the medial SensiFit wave. That is where the second green shows. If a grid shot is only the lateral, it will look like another black Whisper.

18 September is a Friday in the Japan Salomon week. Other Whisper tincture have been dripping around the same window (Void Black the 16th, Tradewinds the 17th). L49237500 is the olive date. Popular lengths go first on any dark Whisper. Olive does not change that.

Quicklace will shine against the dark upper. Mud will hide the olive first. That is expected. Clean the wave if you want the three-tone to stay readable.
