Under Armour

Data-led design and the SlipSpeed oddity

Under Armour's running line is small but technically ambitious, built around the UA Flow rubberless midsole and a heavy emphasis on connected-shoe data.

Current line

The technology

UA Flow
A midsole that doubles as the outsole — no rubber layer. It cuts weight and grips well on dry road, but wears faster on abrasive surfaces.
HOVR
A foam-and-mesh-web compound aimed at a 'zero-gravity' damped feel; more muted than bouncy.
Pebax plate (Velociti Elite)
The racing platform, pairing a light plate with UA's fastest foam.

Fit & sizing

True to size with a narrow-to-medium forefoot and a snug, sock-like upper.

Who it suits

Runners who want a firm, connected ride and care about training data.

Worth knowing

A thin range, and Flow outsoles wear quickly for high-mileage runners.

Best Under Armour for each run

Picked from the current line by the same spec-based scoring the matcher uses — no sponsorships, no commissions.
