S/Lab Genesis 2

The race-tuned Genesis, with a lower 6 mm drop, an optiFOAM² forefoot puck and an integrated gaiter. Nimble, protective and stable on rocky mountain terrain.

What's new: Drop falls from 8 to 6 mm, the midsole moves to dual-density optiFOAM² with a reworked activeCHASSIS, and bigger revised lugs target the original's weak wet-rock grip.
