Salomon S/Lab Enduro
Salomon S/Lab Enduro
The S/Lab Enduro reimagines e-MTB footwear. Heavier bikes, longer rides, and harsher trails expose the limits of current shoes. Riders struggle with ankle instability under load, traction slippage in wet terrain, and poor off-bike mobility.
A design opportunity to explore reinforced ankle support, integrated GORE-TEX weatherproofing, and Salomon technologies, including Contagrip traction, Sensifit fit, and Quicklace adjustability for enduro racers, Pro/Am athletes, and performance-driven cyclists.
Their drive for precision and resilience extends beyond performance into how they align with aesthetics. This translates into material references, structural themes, and contextual cues that guide exploration.
Structural rhythm and material intent build on familiar performance cues while opening space for evolution. Subtle gestures and layered elements suggest support, protection, and adaptive fit, hinting at how function and form interact.
Unified form captured through dynamic studies. Final renders refine detail, material, and function.
