One of Salomon's most awaited ultra-distance models is already here. Of course, we're talking about the brand's direct collaboration with the well-known trail runner François D'Haene, named Salomon S-Lab Ultra. A trainer developed with the expertise of S/Lab and the experienced input of the French runner.
And it is that these Salomon S-Lab Ultra are trail running shoes designed to offer maximum guarantees in long-distance competitions and training. A model that stands out for being lighter and more reactive than it may seem at first, a perfect choice for all mountain runners looking for prolonged cushioning.
The S-Lab Ultra is a trail running shoe from Salomon designed to offer maximum cushioning for over 10-15 hours of competition. It combines Salomon's best technologies and materials to offer a stable, secure, and cushioned running experience.
Similar to models such as the Salomon S-Lab Ultra 3, this trainer aims to become a top choice among the most demanding ultrarunners. Its combination of a plate and foam paves the way for ultradistance running, eliciting a level of comfort previously unexplored.
The Salomon S-Lab Ultra is oriented to runners of medium-heavy weight. Even runners over 80 or 85 kilograms will be able to take advantage of it in the long term, since it is a model that endures high performance for long distances.
On the other hand, this is a model for moderate paces, as it is a long-distance running shoe. It excels in versatility, with a primary focus on extended runs or long-distance trails on compact terrain and less technical trails.
Some of the most significant technical details of these Salomon S-Lab Ultra are found in its upper. Constructed with a durable Matryx mesh fabric enhanced with Kevlar, it is a model of great lightness, quick drying and abrasion resistance. Add to this a Quicklace system of great fit, usual in Salomon models.
In addition, this new trail running model for men and women stands out for the combination of Energy Foam, with a double ultralight layer of great cushioning, and the Profeel plate that provides protection to the whole trainer. The Contagrip outsole with lugs up to 3.5 mm makes it a very complete model. In summary, this 8-millimetre drop trainer, weighing in at just 280 grams, has been designed by François D'Haene and is poised to make a significant impact in the market.
