Salming: Swedish Engineering Meets Athletic Performance

Salming was founded in Sweden in 1993, drawing inspiration from the legacy of Swedish handball legend Lennart "Salming" Svennberg. The brand began with a clear mission to create high-performance handball shoes that combined Scandinavian design principles with cutting-edge sports technology. From its inception, Salming focused on developing products that enhanced athletic performance while preventing injuries through proper support and biomechanically sound design. The company quickly gained recognition in the handball community for its innovative approach to footwear, eventually expanding into other racquet sports and athletic categories. Salming's Swedish heritage remains central to its identity, emphasizing quality, functionality, and clean Scandinavian aesthetics in every product.

Key Product Features & Details

  • Recoilil Midsole Technology: Our proprietary Recoil midsole technology provides exceptional energy return and cushioning that reduces impact on joints during high-intensity movements. The specialized foam compound compresses under pressure then quickly returns to its original shape, giving you a spring-like effect with each step. This technology is strategically placed in high-impact zones to absorb shock and propel you forward efficiently. The cushioning maintains its properties over time, ensuring consistent performance throughout the life of the shoe. This innovative system is particularly beneficial for sports involving jumping, quick direction changes, and prolonged court time, helping reduce fatigue and improve performance.
  • 6° Protection Heel System: The 6° Protection Heel System is engineered to position your heel at a natural 6-degree angle that optimizes alignment and reduces strain on your Achilles tendon and calf muscles. This unique design promotes a more efficient running and movement pattern while providing superior stability during lateral movements. The heel cup is molded to cradle your heel securely without creating pressure points. This biomechanically informed design helps prevent common sports injuries related to improper foot positioning. The system works in harmony with other cushioning technologies to create a balanced platform that supports natural movement while protecting your body from impact-related stress.
  • Torsion Guidance System: Our Torsion Guidance System allows independent movement between the forefoot and heel while providing controlled stability during rotational movements. This technology enables your foot to move naturally while maintaining support during quick changes of direction common in court sports. The flexible yet supportive bridge between front and rear foot segments reduces strain on arches and prevents overpronation. The system is engineered to provide the right balance of flexibility and stability for each specific sport's movement patterns. This intelligent design helps improve agility and responsiveness while reducing the risk of twisting injuries during dynamic athletic performances.
  • Breathable Knit and Mesh Uppers: We use advanced knit technologies and engineered mesh materials that provide exceptional breathability while maintaining structural integrity. The uppers are designed with strategic ventilation zones that allow maximum air circulation to keep feet cool and dry during intense activity. The materials are lightweight yet durable, offering a sock-like fit that moves naturally with your foot. Reinforced areas provide extra support in high-wear zones without adding unnecessary weight. The seamless construction in key areas reduces the risk of blisters and hot spots, ensuring comfort throughout extended training sessions and competitions.
