Salomon Sonic RA 2 Running Shoes
An everyday road-running shoe with a responsive ride. Enter the running avenue and build fitness day after day. SONIC RA 2 balances cushioning and responsiveness to deliver a comfortable, stable ride that will keep you going mile after mile.
Breathable Upper
Quick-drying engineered mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow, creating a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. Sensifit technology employs welded overlays to wrap the foot in a firm, customised fit; they help to anchor you to the midsole and reduce in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth, distraction-free strides. The welded collar and welded upper ensure long-lasting durability that protects the foot from wear and tear. A traditional lacing system contributes towards the adaptive-fitting environment of the Sonic RA 2.
Vibe Midsole
The unique Vibe technology midsole construction combines EnergyCell+ and Opal to attenuate fatigue-causing vibrations and produce a cushioned yet responsive ride. EnergyCell+ is a high-rebound midsole compound that provides exceptional energy return while also delivering substantial cushioning and durability; its reactive nature means the use of superfluous muscle power is reduced, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance, keeping you going for longer. Embedded within the EnergyCell+ platform, sits Opal. Soft, cushy and responsive, Opal helps to spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving concrete. Cushioned and bouncy, it's the best of both worlds, plus it maintains its performance in extreme temperatures and is lightweight and durable. Completing the midsole is a molded ortholite sockliner which provides added comfort and excellent moisture wicking properties.
Contagrip Outsole
Geometric decoupling works with the foot to allow smooth and efficient load guidance which then translates into an effortless and efficient heel-to-toe transition. The decoupling axis is oriented more medially to create a larger lateral platform that will optimise speed and stability. A rubber outsole completes the shoe, supplying biting grip across slippery road surfaces. Super durable Wet Traction Contagrip covers the heel and forefoot, resisting the traumas of heel-strike and toe-off to provide you with a reliable and long-lasting running buddy. Blown rubber makes up the rest of the outsole, supply sticky, cushioned grip across every surface. For the athletes who crave cushion and speed in one radically lightweight package, choose the SONIC RA 2.
