The Salming Viper 5 is an indoor court shoe from Salming. This is the successor to the Salming Viper 4. The design looks like it’s changed a bit from the Viper 4s. In fact, the Salming Falco (new model for 2018) looks closer to the old Viper than this shoe does. The Vipers have traditionally had a bit less padding and therefore been lighter and less bulky than other Salmings.
Update: this shoe has been replaced by the Salming Viper SL.

Salming’s 2020 Viper 5 model is white and black. It seems only slightly different from the 2019 white and black model.

The women’s version is white with what look to me like yellow stripes (though handballshop calls them green).

Reviews
Here’s a review from weplayhandball.de. Too bad you don’t speak German.
Product Notes
Here’s the marketing info from Salming:
Fast paced and agile, a low profile and excellent stability characteristics, Viper enables an impeccable close-to-the-ground court feel. The latest generation (5th) of Salming Viper comes with a complete new upper, the ViperSKIN™, a synthetic lightweight sandwich construction that provides excellent support and stability. The most prominent of Salming technologies that has been the backbone of previous Viper generations are still present – The RollBar™, The LMS and LMS Plus 11° etc. In addition, Viper5 has the new RunLite2™ midsole foam which offer a lighter and more energy return.
