The Salomon Genesis 2 Men’s is a versatile technical trail running shoe built to balance cushioning, stability and grip across everything from everyday trail runs to long-distance adventures.

The updated optiFOAM™ midsole combines soft, protective cushioning with improved rocker geometry for a more dynamic ride over varied terrain. A redesigned activeCHASSIS™ adds stability and support when the trail gets technical, without making the shoe feel overly rigid.

Underfoot, All-Terrain contaGRIP® with 4mm lugs provides reliable traction across mixed, rocky, wet and muddy terrain. The lightweight Matryx® upper combines breathability and durability, while endoFIT™ wraps the foot for a secure fit and quickLACE™ makes adjustment fast and easy.

Protective enough for technical trails but comfortable enough to keep going when the distance stacks up, the Genesis 2 is a strong all-rounder for trail training, racing and long days in the mountains.
