Trail running legend Kilian Jornet partnered with the Salomon team to develop and fine-tune the fastest shoe ever. Thus was born Salomon S/LAB PULSAR, an ultra-light and extraordinarily precise shoe, used by Jornet himself to win the famous Swiss race Sierre-Zinal in 2019, where he set the still unbeaten record.
Thanks to the lightest Salomon midsole in production and the feather-like upper combined with advanced technologies, it is one of the lightest S/LAB models ever: less than 170 grams. With a sock-like fit and featuring a welded upper in breathable Matryx® mesh reinforced with aramid fibers, the shoe wraps the foot like a glove. Lightweight, responsive foam created from a mix of EVA and block olefin copolymer [OBC] offers long-lasting cushioning and energy return with effective rebound effect, while Contagrip® MA Mixed Adhesion adheres to all types of ground, wet or dry, for extraordinary control. The geometry of the blocks is then studied for a quick discharge of the propulsion to the ground.
