Salomon XT-4 OG 'White/Ebony' (L47133000) — Archival OG Heritage Reissue

What Is the Salomon XT-4 OG ‘White/Ebony’?

The Salomon XT-4 OG ‘White/Ebony’ (Style Code: L47133000) is the most classic and highest-contrast colorway in the XT-4 OG lineup — a faithful reissue of the original XT-4 trail running silhouette delivered in the most immediately legible two-tone pairing available: clean White against the warm dark depth of Ebony. The OG designation confirms construction fidelity: same last, same proportions, same design details as the original XT-4, not a redesign or lifestyle adaptation. Where the ‘Black/Ebony’ colorway ($145) is a deep tonal play between two very dark tones of different temperature, and the ‘White/Lunar Rock/Night Sky’ ($160) is an atmospheric three-tone spanning light to dark, the White/Ebony is the XT-4 OG at its most direct: maximum contrast, maximum legibility, and the widest styling range of the three. At $139, it is the most accessible XT-4 OG in today’s lineup — the entry point into the platform at the sharpest price point. Unisex, US M4–M11 / W5–W12 / EU 36–45.

Specs & Construction

The ‘White/Ebony’ Colorway — Contrast as the Design Logic

The White/Ebony pairing operates on a fundamentally different visual logic from the XT-4 OG’s other two colorways. The ‘Black/Ebony’ is a depth play: two very dark tones of different temperature occupying the same dark register, creating interior complexity that rewards close attention. The ‘White/Lunar Rock/Night Sky’ is an atmospheric progression: three tones spanning the full light-to-dark spectrum in a considered sequence. The White/Ebony is neither depth nor progression — it is contrast. The two tones are as far apart in value as any two tones can be: White at maximum lightness, Ebony at near-maximum darkness. On the XT-4 OG’s multi-panel upper, this maximum-contrast pairing does something that tonal and multi-tone colorways cannot: it makes the shoe’s construction geometry immediately and fully legible. Every panel edge, every overlay boundary, every structural detail is defined by the transition between light and dark. The XT-4 OG’s archival construction details — the multi-panel upper that reflects Salomon’s trail-engineering approach to the XT series — are most clearly read in White/Ebony because the contrast between panels is at its maximum.

White here is clean and direct — a luminous, bright white that does not shift toward cream or off-white, maintaining its maximum-lightness quality across the upper’s primary panels. Ebony is named for the heartwood of the ebony tree, one of the world’s densest and darkest natural materials: a near-black depth with a faint warm-brown undertone that distinguishes it from a neutral or blue-toned black. Against White, Ebony’s warmth is more perceptible than it is in the ‘Black/Ebony’ pairing — because the high-contrast context amplifies the difference between the two tones rather than blending them into a near-monochrome. The result is a two-tone that reads as simultaneously classic (White/Black is the foundational contrast pairing in sneaker culture) and considered (White/Ebony is a warmer, more material-referential version of that pairing).

All Three XT-4 OG Colorways — Choosing the Right One

White/Ebony at $139: most accessible, most contrasted, widest styling range. Black/Ebony at $145: tonal, dark, near-monochrome depth. White/Lunar Rock/Night Sky at $160: atmospheric, three-tone, most collectible. All three are faithful OG reissues of the same archival platform.

Sizing — Unisex Conversion Table (Men’s / Women’s / EU)

This shoe uses men’s / unisex sizing. Women typically size down 1 size from their women’s US size (e.g., women’s US 8 → men’s US 7 / EU 40). True to size. Size up half for thicker trail socks.

Who Is the Salomon XT-4 OG ‘White/Ebony’ For?

Three profiles: the entry-point XT-4 OG buyer who wants the archival XT-4 platform at its most accessible price ($139, the lowest of the three XT-4 OG colorways) in the most classic and immediately recognizable expression — White/Ebony is the colorway that requires the least context to understand and the least coordination to wear; the contrast-led buyer who wants maximum visual legibility from the XT-4 OG’s multi-panel construction — the high-contrast White/Ebony pairing defines every panel edge and structural detail in a way that the tonal and multi-tone colorways do not; and the styling-versatility buyer who wants an OG heritage silhouette with a white-based colorway that works across the widest possible range of outfitting contexts — monochrome, earth tones, navy, grey, black, and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the style code for the Salomon XT-4 OG ‘White/Ebony’?
A: The style code is L47133000.

Q: How is ‘White/Ebony’ different from simply ‘White/Black’?
A: Ebony is not a neutral black — it is named for ebony heartwood, one of the world’s densest natural materials, which carries a near-black depth with a faint warm-brown undertone. Against White, this warmth is perceptible as a slightly warmer, more material-referential dark tone compared to a standard neutral or blue-toned black. White/Ebony is the warmer, more considered version of the classic White/Black contrast pairing.

Q: How does the White/Ebony compare to the other XT-4 OG colorways?
A: White/Ebony ($139): highest contrast, widest styling range, most accessible price — the entry-point colorway. Black/Ebony ($145): near-tonal deep two-tone, interior warmth, near-monochrome. White/Lunar Rock/Night Sky ($160): atmospheric three-tone spanning full light-to-dark spectrum, most collectible. All three are faithful OG reissues of the same archival platform.

Q: What does ‘OG’ mean on the XT-4 OG?
A: OG confirms the reissue is faithful to the original XT-4 — same last, same construction, same proportions and design details as the archival silhouette. It is not a redesign, not a lifestyle adaptation. Salomon uses ‘OG’ to distinguish faithful archival reissues from modified versions.

Q: How is the XT-4 OG different from the XT-6?
A: The XT-4 is a generational predecessor to the XT-6 in Salomon’s cross-trail lineage — a more compact, original-era profile that predates the XT-6’s more aggressive layered construction. The XT-4 OG is an archival reissue at full construction fidelity. The XT-6 is Salomon’s current mainline cultural icon.

Q: Is this shoe true to size?
A: Yes. Size up half for thicker trail socks. Women should size down approximately 1 size from their women’s US size (e.g., women’s US 8 → men’s US 7 / EU 40).
