The Salming Viper is a fast paced agile shoe with a low profile and excellent stability characteristics. It incorporates the very best of Salming Indoor shoe technologies and then some. If you’re a fan of the Salming Race model you will find the Viper lower and with less cushioning in the fore-foot area, enabling a more close-to-the-court feel plus a lighter and more breathable upper.
The construction has its origin in the Salming Running shoe product range, where it has been very well received with its three layer system where the unique Salming ExoSkeleton™ keeps the foot in the right position during lateral movements and high performance activities. Agile, fast paced with a low profile – The Viper.
At the core of the shoe’s design, you will find Salming’s unique T.G.S. 62/75° system which specifically designates the distance from heel to the ball of the foot (62% of the shoe) in order to optimize stability, comfort, and performance. Key to this design is the firmer, stabilizing section which ends at the ball of the foot at the so-called “ballet” line, a 75° angle.
In front of the 75° line, we have equipped Salming Viper with a specially composed section which gives greater flexibility in order to further stimulate the foot’s natural movements.
The midsole features a special High Abrasion Injection EVA - RunLite™ - designed to create a nice feel for the court. It is light and responds to the surface from the very first step.
In addition, the Viper features both the 11°™ angle concept on the outer edge of the shoe which helps avoid the risk of ankle injury, and our innovative RollBar™-technology on the inner edge, for quicker and better lateral push-off.
In order to help you control all of this cornering performance, our XR110 outer sole has an extra sticky developed compound!
Salming Technology
RollBar™
An increased radius on the inner side of the outer sole, facilitates rolling the foot inwards and toe push off.
Reaching for that stop ball in squash or covering a shot in floorball is made easier with the RollBar™ technology.
T.G.S. 62/75™
Torsion Guide System. The distance from heel to the ball of the foot (62% of the shoe) has been designed with extra stability, which ends in the so-called ”ballet” line, a 75° angle.
In front of the 75° line, we have equipped the shoe with greater flexibility to stimulate the foot’s natural movements. TGS 62/75 takes all of the gait cycle criteria into consideration. At the same time, it softens the strains caused by friction during lateral movements.
The shoe bends in exactly the right places, stimulating the foot’s natural lateral and forward movements.
3 Layer Construction
A first layer of mesh material adds comfort, while the middle stabilizes lateral movements and reduces pressure on the foot. The exterior thin net mesh encapsulates and wraps up the front in a neat fashion, adding durability to the shoe.
XR110
In order to help you control all of this cornering performance, our XR110 outer sole has an extra sticky developed compound!
Drop 7mm
The heel to toe drop of 7° sets up a natural posture, allowing a correct lean throughout the stride.
LMS™
Lateral Movement Stabilizer - an especially designed light weight integrated dual torsion unit that supports the foot during fast and irregular lateral movements.
LMS+
Fast lateral stops expose the foot to the risk to roll over outwards, causing injuries. LMS+ (Lateral Movement Stabilizer Plus) is a unique design with a positive angle of 11° that prevents the foot from rolling over outwards.
ErgoHeelCup™
To stabilize and fixate the heel, which is key to providing a great fit and comfort, we have developed a new anatomical Ergo Heel Cup that is slightly longer than the average heel cup.
RunLite™
The midsole features a special High Abrasion Injection EVA - RunLite™ - designed to create a nice feel for the court. It is light and responds to the surface from the very first step.
