The Salming Kobra 3 is out. Among pro squash players, I’d say the Kobra is the most popular shoe in the Salming lineup — a number of players used Salming Kobra 2.
Update: In 2022, Salming is coming out with an updated shoe called the Salming Recoil Kobra
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the Kobra 2 (left) versus the Kobra 3 (right). The sole looks pretty similar to the prior model, but Salming appears to have made some changes to the construction of the upper section.
See below for the men’s and women’s models I’ve spotted so far.
