Salomon continues to maintain the bet of its reconversion initiated in 2023 and makes it clear with the release of the second version of one of the most special trail running models of last year. We speak, of course, of the Salomon Metacross 2, a model that, this time, comes with a much cleaner essence as far as its production is concerned.
The Salomon Metacross 2 are trail runningshoes that conform as a model that goes somewhat beyond its predecessors and their base inspiration, Supercross. With a sustainable philosophy, this Metacross 2 is designed and manufactured in France with materials from Europe for the upper.
These Metacross 2 are a new trail running model from Salomon inspired by silhouettes like those of the French company 's Supercross line. It's a rugged trail shoe that stands the test of time, with lightweight, breathable, high-strength Matryx yarn in its upper and a durable, mud-repellent outsole for high-quality trail traction.
This is a model that, as we have already mentioned, is entirely manufactured in France, thanks to the alliance between Salomon and ASF 4.0, which favors a reduction of the environmental impact and the carbon footprint produced by the company. With a weight and drop almost identical to that of the Salomon Metacross, its predecessors, they are the perfect continuation of a versatile model acclaimed by trail runners around the world.
This new training and competition model from Salomon will be a model oriented to medium weight runners. Runner profiles of less than 85 kilos can perfectly enjoy the aggressiveness and dynamism of its set, as long as they are accustomed to technical and / or muddy terrain.
In short, we are talking about a model for men and women of the most complete, but somewhat more specific in terms of terrain and distances, as already happened with the aforementioned Salomon Thundercross or the rest of the Salomon Cross family, whose main field of action is the greasy terrain.
Some of the most significant technical details of these Salomon Metacross 2 can be found in their upper. With the aforementioned Matryx technology, coupled with some of the best materials of the company, we are facing a model of great finishes, which combines aggressiveness and protection, all at the same time, and with a lightness of the most outstanding, only 285 grams.
For its part, the Contagrip outsole maintains its aggressive character, retaining a prominent and multidirectional tread pattern up to 5 millimeters thick. In addition, its usual 10-millimeterdrop, TPU reinforcements throughout the shoe or its traditional lacing system, will establish it as a new model of height, very much to be reckoned with, from the French company.
