Salomon and Ray BEAMS Launch XT-WHISPER “Blueberry Cheesecake” Sneaker

Salomon and Ray BEAMS are back with another lifestyle-ready trail hybrid, this time serving a “blueberry cheesecake” take on the XT-WHISPER that leans sweet in color but stays serious on performance.

For anyone following sneaker collabs, this Salomon XT-WHISPER Ray BEAMS version stands out as a must-see release.

Blueberry cheesecake for your feet

For this domestic-exclusive release, Ray BEAMS and Salomon used “blueberry cheesecake” as the starting point for the color story. That idea shows up in a nuanced palette: metallic silver as the base, layered with fresh, juicy hits of purple.

This unique collab, the XT-WHISPER done by Salomon in partnership with Ray BEAMS, feels indulgent without turning cartoonish more dessert bar in Daikanyama than candy shop.

Ray BEAMS has tuned the shades to its own signature nuance, softening the purple just enough to sit in that sweet spot between playful and polished. Stepping into this pair, you immediately notice the creative exchange between Salomon and Ray BEAMS on their XT-WHISPER silhouette a distinctly urban, almost futuristic mood, perfect for wide trousers, skirts, or tapered track pants.

Trail DNA, city attitude

Underneath the dessert-coded palette, this is still very much a Salomon. The XT-WHISPER keeps a slim, streamlined silhouette that feels light and sharp from the side, instead of bulky or overly “outdoor.” In fact, merging trail and street DNA is core to the Salomon XT-WHISPER Ray BEAMS collaborative approach.

Salomon’s core tech remains fully intact:

• SensiFit™ cradles the foot for a snug, wraparound fit, creating that “locked-in” feeling without pressure points. Notably, these comfort upgrades are signature on the Salomon XT-WHISPER Ray BEAMS edition too.

• The Agile Chassis™ System underfoot brings stability and support, especially when you move off smooth pavements onto uneven ground or longer walks. The innovative spirit found in all Salomon XT-WHISPER Ray BEAMS collabs is present here as well.

The shoe arrives as a true crossover: a trail-bred model reimagined through dreamy, Ray BEAMS styling. You get a pair that can handle city miles, weekend trips, and light outdoor use, all while looking like a considered fashion choice rather than a compromise. Consider the Salomon XT-WHISPER Ray BEAMS as an everyday go-to that breaks typical sneaker boundaries.

Limited, local, and highly collectible

This “blueberry cheesecake” XT-WHISPER is a Japan-exclusive colorway, rolling out only at Ray BEAMS doors and Salomon’s own stores in the country. That limited distribution turns it from just another color into something closer to a collectors’ piece for Salomon fans and Ray BEAMS loyalists. The scarcity will no doubt make this Salomon XT-WHISPER Ray BEAMS edition a sought-after drop for collectors.

The release is set for May 14, landing at Ray BEAMS stores nationwide and on the official BEAMS online shop. With Salomon’s current momentum in fashion circles and Ray BEAMS’ reputation for nailing women’s sneaker collaborations, this is the kind of drop that won’t sit long for anyone chasing a softer, more nuanced take on the tech-runner wave.

If you’re hunting for the exclusive Salomon XT-WHISPER Ray BEAMS, act fast before pairs sell out.

For city walkers, fashion fans, and Salomon heads alike, the XT-WHISPER “blueberry cheesecake” lands as a perfect balance: trail heritage underfoot, Ray BEAMS’ feminine-modern eye up top, and a color story that makes your sneakers feel like the best part of dessert.

Ultimately, Salomon XT-WHISPER Ray BEAMS delivers on both performance and style for the perfect street-to-trail sneaker.
