SALOMON S/LAB GENESIS: TRAILRUNNING RACING SHOE
190€ | 258 G. | 8MM DROP
The S/LAB Genesis is a race-grade shoe to take on more than just a competition. This S/LAB Genesis paves the way for a new type of highly-committed trail-runner, who wants to go the distance and share experiences. Your feet stay protected thanks to the Matryx fabric, a reinforced toe cap in the front and extra protection on the side, so you can run through rocky and technical terrain without the constant fear of that unpleasant foot-to-rock feeling.
The raised treads ensure a secure grip thanks to a unique two-part lug pattern that adapts to the terrain, guiding you through a variety of conditions—whether it’s a muddy and wet trail by the river or a rocky, technical path through the mountains.

S/LAB GENESIS: HIGHLIGHTS
UPPER
The matryx upper and its patented technology is weaved in with aramid fiber which offers a comfortable and efficient foot mapping support. Which together with the integrated gaiter keep debris out of your shoes as well as provide added protection from the elements.
On the tongue area, we find the typical Salomon lace pocket to storage the Quicklace lacing system. As you probably know, the quicklace is a minimalistic and strong lace for one-pull tightening. Easy-on, easy-off.
EndoFit: An internal fit sleeve designed to hug the foot in exactly the right places and provide a precise fit.
MIDSOLE
To ensure long distance comfort, the Profeel Film placed in the midsole filters out rocky and sharp surfaces to prevent painful surprises, and a small gaiter keeps rocks and debris out of the shoe. Paired with Salomon’s Energy Surge foam, a heel strip for easy step-in and the Salomon Quicklace system, the S/LAB Genesis delivers steady comfort across even the longest distances.
Energy Surge: Lightweight, responsive foam created by combining EVA and Olefin [OBC] to deliver long-lasting cushion and bouncy energy return.
Profeel Film: Profeel Film helps filter out rocks and sharp surfaces, for more comfort and stability.
Medial protective pad A durable, cushioned pad across the medial side of the instep for protection and increased wear.
