Salomon Speed Assault 2 Black
If the SPEED ASSAULT 2 in Black is anything, it's super lightweight, super fast, and above all, super flexible in the field. 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 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 shoe's lightness comes from the technologies of Salomon's trail running shoes, emphasizing performance, durability, flexibility, and agility. The upper material mix consists of ripstop fabric, anti-debris mesh, and TPU materials. All processed materials are highly breathable, ensuring a comfortable foot climate even in humid and warm areas. The welded SensiFit™ system wraps the foot from the midsole to the Quicklace™ lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and nearly customized fit.
The Energy Cell material ensures optimal cushioning and performance in the sole construction. The compressed EVA cushioning material enhances shock absorption while providing a higher rebound. The Contagrip® TA outsole with its chevron lugs delivers optimal grip on various surfaces. The OrthoLite® insole ensures a comfortable fit and additional cushioning, while the perforations in the sole support the foot climate.
If you're not looking for a heavy shoe but appreciate the lightweight nature of a modern shoe for agile use, you've come to the right place.
