Expert Review Sources

  • Solereview : 80.9 / 100 — « Across our race & marathon testing on road, the Salomon S/Lab Phantasm 2 delivers progressive forefoot flex and evenly distributed Energy Foam+ compression on the mechanical test bench. A smart choice for runners looking for a 5.1 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • Runnea : 80.1 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 5.1 mm drop and weighing 213 g, the Salomon S/Lab Phantasm 2 impresses in real-world road testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. A smart choice for runners looking for a 5.1 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • RunRepeat : 80.6 / 100 — « The Salomon S/Lab Phantasm 2 aims to be a super shoe, but we found in the lab that it doesn’t quite reach that mark. It lacks the high energy return expected at this level, and its weight is also heavier than it should. We think it performs better as a premium, speed-oriented trainer for track sessions or tempo runs. On a bright note, we were impressed by its top-tier build quality, plush underfoot feel, and durable outsole—yet its steep price and modest performance make it difficult to recommend when so many rivals deliver more bounce for less money. »
