DescriptionGENESIS 2 VANILLA ICE/IRON/LAVA FALLS
The Salomon GENESIS 2 trail running shoe is designed for trail runners looking for a highly protective and stable shoe for their regular runs on technical and rocky terrain.
This model features a lightweight Matryx® fabric upper, renowned for its durability and superior breathability, even in hot or humid conditions, combined with an EndoFit™ inner sleeve that moulds to the foot for a precise fit. Its midsole features optiFOAM foam, which provides dynamic cushioning and a smooth energy return, whilst the redesigned activeCHASSIS™ supports the rear of the foot to guide your stride safely.
The features of this model are based on an All Terrain Contagrip® outsole with 4 mm deep lugs, providing reliable grip on wet, muddy or slippery surfaces. Its quickLACE™ quick-lacing system ensures even tension without any pressure points, complemented by an optimised rocker design that enhances forward movement. The overall design aims to provide a high level of protection for the foot against impacts and debris without compromising flexibility on rough terrain.
It is the all-terrain companion for demanding runners who prioritise stable support and rock-solid durability on mountain trails.
