The Salomon S/Lab Ultra Glide, a testament to endurance, emerged in response to the demanding needs of ultra-distance trail running. Its genesis is firmly rooted in Salomon's commitment to pushing the boundaries of athletic performance, specifically targeting the grueling challenges of long-distance races. This innovation represents a strategic shift towards maximum cushioning and comfort, designed to meet the evolving demands of the ultra-running community.
Engineered for the rigors of ultra-distance races and training, the S/Lab Ultra Glide excels on mixed terrain, offering unparalleled comfort and protection. Its design prioritizes long-lasting support over outright speed, making it ideal for extended efforts in all-mountain environments. The full All Terrain Contagrip® rubber outsole, with its unique relieveSPHERE geometry, ensures exceptional grip and impact diffusion, enhancing performance across varied landscapes.
The Salomon S/Lab Ultra Glide, though a recent entrant, immediately became a pivotal element within the trail running and ultra-running subcultures. Its debut at the 2024 UTMB races solidified its place, showcasing Salomon's influence in the high-stack, max-cushioned shoe category. The shoe's design, emphasizing comfort and protection, has resonated deeply within the community, influencing the approach of both elite athletes and recreational runners. It has quickly become a key component of the gear selections of those tackling the most demanding ultra-marathons worldwide.
The S/Lab Ultra Glide is meticulously crafted using a blend of advanced materials, ensuring both resilience and comfort. The upper features engineered mesh and stretch knit mono mesh, paired with supportive overlays and a gusseted tongue and Quicklace system. The midsole incorporates dual foam technology, combining Energy Foam (EVA blend) and Energy Foam+ (PEBA or PEBA/EVA blend), delivering superior cushioning and energy return.
