Salomon Speed Assault 2 Black
If the SPEED ASSAULT 2 in the color Black is one thing, then it is super light, super fast and above all super flexible in its area of use. From desert use to jungle training camps to muddy areas, the SPEED ASSAULT 2 feels at home everywhere with its mere 320 grams. In the further development of this speed machine, the focus was placed on an optimized fit in the upper foot area as well as on design aspects.
The lightness of the shoe comes from the technologies of Salomon's trail running shoes with the keywords of performance, robustness, flexibility and agility. The upper material mix consists of ripstop fabric, anti-debris mesh and TPU materials. All materials used are highly breathable, so that the foot climate is unproblematic even in warm and humid areas. The welded SensiFit™ system encloses the foot from the midsole to the Quicklace™ quick lacing system, ensuring a secure, snug and almost individual fit on the foot.
The Energy Cell material ensures optimum cushioning and performance in the sole construction. The pressed EVA cushioning material provides improved shock absorption with greater springback. The Contagrip® TA outsole with chevron studs provides optimum grip on a wide variety of surfaces. The OrthoLite® insole ensures a comfortable fit and additional cushioning in the shoe, while the perforations in the sole support the foot climate.
If you are not looking for a heavy shoe, but appreciate the light weight of a modern shoe for agile use, this is the right choice.
