When the trail throws challenges your way, the Salomon Genesis is built to meet them head-on. Designed for runners who need a responsive, durable, and confident ride, this trail shoe balances lightweight agility with rugged protection, making it the perfect companion for technical terrain.
Equipped with All Terrain Contagrip®, the Genesis ensures secure footing on rocky paths, loose dirt, and wet conditions. Its 4.5mm lugs bite into variable surfaces, providing enhanced traction and stability on everything from compact trails to rugged mountain routes.
The SalomonFOAM midsole offers lightweight cushioning and energy return, absorbing impact while keeping your stride smooth and efficient. With an 8mm drop, the Genesis promotes a natural yet supportive foot position, making it ideal for runners tackling mixed terrain.
The Matryx® upper, reinforced with high-tenacity Kevlar® fibers, is designed for breathability and abrasion resistance, ensuring long-lasting durability while keeping weight to a minimum. The EndoFit™ internal sleeve hugs your foot for a secure, sock-like fit, preventing unwanted movement on uneven ground.
The Quicklace® system allows for one-pull adjustments, ensuring a snug, customized fit without the bulk of traditional laces. Whether you're mid-run or gearing up at the trailhead, this system offers quick on-and-off convenience.
