Salomon lands on the market with the new Sonic 3 Balance, a versatile shoe designed for all types of runners and distances, from the fastest and lightest races to the longest and heaviest runs. It is a remodeling of the Sonic RA Pro line that presents some new features for the most demanding runners who love the French brand.
The Salomon Sonic 3 Balance Running shoes stand out for their versatility and their great response to different distances and paces. We are talking about a shoe, sister of the Sonic RA Pro 2, whose main feature is in its midsole, as we will analyze below.
The midsole combines Optivibe and Infuse technology from the French multinational, which makes the Sonic 3 Balance an energetic and vibration-reduced running shoe. This makes the cushioning more reactive, which minimizes negative impact on the joints and, at the same time, promotes a smoother ride. It is a midsole that is well blended with the shoe as a whole, making for a more pleasant ride for the runner.
The upper of the new arrivals of the Salomon Sonic 3 Balance is made of a fine mesh, not excessively flashy, but which allows great lightness and breathability. Its simple and symmetrical lacing, together with its thin tongue, provides a great fit for all types of feet.
The outsole, designed with Salomons Contragrip technology, has a similar structure to its predecessor Sonic RA Pro 2, which allows for considerably high grip and traction on a wide range of surfaces. The grooves in the forefoot give the runner a more dynamic and flexible running stride.
The Sonic 3 Balance Running shoes for neutral runners are designed for versatility. With a midsole made with the quality technology that characterizes the French brand Salomon and a thin and light upper, the Sonic 3 Balance stands as a guaranteed update of the Sonic RA Pro. Its estimated weight for a European men's size 42 ? is 281g and, on the other hand, the sole has a thickness of 28mm in the heel area and 20mm in the toe, leading to a drop of 8mm.
