DescriptionS/LAB GENESIS 2 BLACK/BLACK/FIERY RED
The Salomon S/LAB GENESIS 2 trail running shoe is designed for elite trail runners looking for an ultra-durable, high-performance model for their competitions and regular long-distance runs on the most technical terrain.
This model features a lightweight upper made from Matryx® Micro fabric, renowned for its exceptional tear resistance, combined with an EndoFit™ inner sleeve that moulds perfectly to the foot. Its premium midsole combines dynamic optiFOAM² foam with classic optiFOAM foam to ensure first-class shock absorption whilst delivering a smooth energy return, all stabilised by the inclusion of the activeCHASSIS™ guidance frame in the rearfoot.
The features of this model are based on the profeelFILM protective film positioned beneath the sole to filter out unevenness in the rock without compromising the boot’s flexibility. The All Terrain Contagrip® outsole features 4.5 mm deep lugs that optimise grip on wet paving slabs and in mud. An integrated gaiter prevents debris from entering, whilst a reinforced stone guard and a medial protective pad protect the foot from lateral impacts.
It is the ultimate companion for ultra-trail runners who prioritise indestructible durability and stable support on rugged mountain trails.
