Salming Race R2 2.0 Men
The shoe’s upper is made from a durable lightweight
polyester fabric, which is then covered in a special black exo
skeleton that effectively helps keep the foot in the right
position during lateral movements and high performance
activities. This uniquely comfortable upper construction helps
the shoe to feel perfect on your foot from the first instant with
virtually zero “break-in” time.
Compared to many of the competitors, Race is designed with less
heel to toe drop, and a thicker forefoot with greater rebound
characteristics, making it extremely comfortable and fun to run
in.
At the core of the shoe’s design, you will find our unique
T.G.S. 62/75° system which specifically designates the
distance from heel to the ball of the foot (62% of the shoe) in
order to optimize stability, comfort, and performance. Key to
this design is the firmer, stabilizing section which ends at the
ball of the foot at the so-called “ballet” line, a
75° angle. In front of the 75° line, we have equipped
Salming Race with a specially composed section which gives
greater flexibility in order to further stimulate the
foot’s natural movements.
In addition, this great shoe features both our 5°TM angle
concept on the outer edge of the shoe which helps avoid the risk
of ankle injury, and our innovative RollBarTMtechnology on the
inner edge, for quicker and better lateral push-off.
In order to help you control all of this cornering performance,
our XR110 outer sole has a sticky compound that provides
excellent traction properties!
