Under the hood, the XT-Quest features Salomon's lauded 4D Advanced Chassis – which reduces lateral flex through a midsole support plate – and the trail-running XT-WINGS' inner contours for mega comfort. Together with its lugged ContraGrip outsole, it delivers mountain-goat traction. What OAMC have done is swap the zig-zag overlays with a more fluid, round-edged design. There's a textured panel running behind the cut-out windows, and three deliberately-placed metallic teardrops on each side. They've also, of course, blacked it out – except for the tiny 'OAMC' branding at the toe and up the lace shroud, and co-branding at the heel tabs.
