Salomon Sonic RA Max

Today we talk about the Salomon Sonic RA Max, the new running shoe from the French company. It is a superior version of the original, which includes many new technologies and systems, and share great similarities with some models of the Sonic RA. However, what makes this model different is that in spite of everything, comfort prevails thanks to its internal Ortholite lining, which we will explain more thoroughly below, but we can tell you that the main feature is that it considerably increases breathability. And if we go further we can talk about a great energy return, fast stride transition and system that reduces vibrations and damage that the foot may suffer. They are therefore a shoe designed for racing or intense training, valid for the whole season.

Salomon Sonic RA Max, more breathability

We enter fully to talk about the performance, undoubtedly the midsole is the one that awaits more technologies and advances. The low level of cushioning is striking, but it is compensated by a rather firm and reactive sensationthat the runner will appreciate during competitions and more intense workouts. This is produced thanks to the combination that Salomon has made between Opal and EnergyCell, from which the system baptized as Vibe is born, we find these three in the midsole. It is a unique union that manages to attenuate the vibration in each step and therefore reduce damage to the feet and thus reduce injuries. Also, we have mentioned before the EnergyCell + compound that is characterized by its high levels of rebound and contributes to provide an even greater energy return, while adding extra cushioning in each stride as well as extending the life of the shoe. And then there is the Opal cushioning compound, a cushioning compound that is inserted into the midsole and offers a soft and comfortable underfoot ride, with the advantage of high rebound. In addition, it is an extremely lightweight and resilient blend, and maintains its performance in extreme temperatures.

In the upper area of the Salomon Sonic Max we can already anticipate that they are lightweight shoes that stand out for their comfort and protection. The upper has been made with SensiFit that wraps the foot and ensures its fit with the lacing system. So the user will enjoy a precise and rounded stable fit, in a very low weight shoe that ensures stability. Although what makes it different from the rest of the Sonic RA saga is an inner lining made with molded Ortholite, it is an inner contour that is characterized by exceptional cushioning and above all a higher level of breathability. So we can say that sweat and moisture will evaporate more easily and keep your feet dry and comfortable. It also contributes to a dynamic and comfortable stride in which it contributes to the cushioning of the shoe.

As for the outsole, it has been designed with a combination of materials and technologies, on the one hand the entire sole has been manufactured with blown rubber, which is combined with the Wet Traction Contagrip system that provides grip on any terrain. And in turn a very efficient guide that favors the transmission of energy just effortlessly, or what is the same, you will notice your strides more agile.

Finally, as regards technical specifications, we have spoken that thanks to the compounds used the Salomon Sonic RA Max are lightweight shoes, which remain below the barrier of 300 and has an exact weight of 265 gr And the fall of the heel, which is known as the drop is 10 mm. Also, you can find this model in different colors; black, turquoise and dark blue. A range of bright and striking colors.
