The runners are infused with Salomon's running tech, featuring its [Vibe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carry-your-vibe) midsoles along with an OrthoLite memory foam padding. The Sonic RA Max sneakers boast stylish sensibilities with a sleek look and tonal finish. The uppers are crafted from a synthetic material alongside transparent paneling details across the medial and lateral areas. There are Salomon branding details across the heel and Satisfy Running's branding across the tongue tab. The aforementioned Vibe technology gives its midsole the ability to control vibration when the foot meets the ground. There is also a seamless collar finish, rubberized lacing systems and lightweight sensibilities with an overall 250 grams. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Synthetic Runners:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating more advanced and sustainable synthetic materials for running shoes. - **Running Tech:** Potential for disruptive innovation in developing new technologies that enhance performance and comfort in running shoes. - **Sleek Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating visually appealing and stylish designs for running shoes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Running Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in incorporating advanced materials and technologies into running apparel. - **Sportswear:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing sportswear that combines functionality and style. - **Athletic Footwear:** Potential for disruptive innovation in developing cutting-edge technologies and materials for athletic footwear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Trail-Ready Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mafate-speed-4-lite-stsfy.md) - [Technical Material-Focused Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satisfy-therocker.md) - [Hi-Tech Trail Stealthy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedcross-advanced.md) - [Stylish Collaborative Trail Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lite-stsfy.md) - [Neutral Performance Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xtwhisper-void.md) - [Technical Vibrant Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedcross-3.md) - [Dynamic Technical Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/therocker.md) - [Recyclable Material Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salomon-xt-pure-advanced.md) - [Technical Collaborative Dynamic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedcross-3-1.md)
