Under Armour HOVR Sonic 2 Running Shoes

Almost as light as a tempo shoe, but with more cushioning and a super-smooth transition, the UA HOVR Sonic has become an instant favourite for runners who like distances but want more flexibility. And as soon as your foot hits the pavement, you'll know why we say UA HOVR cushioning feels like zero gravity-you won't be sure your feet ever actually hit the ground.

Microthread Upper

Microthread uppers will envelop each foot in radical breathability. The compression-like fit delivers lightweight directional strength and unmatched comfort to help you go the distance, adapting to the changing shape of your foot as it moves through the gait cycle. Enriched with moisture-managing technology, the fabric wicks sweat away from the skin for quick evaporation, so you stay damp-free and comfortable during intense exercise. The upper sits softly against the skin to produce an irritation-free fit, because UA recognise how rubbing and blisters can get you down. A ventilated midfoot panel increases breathability; its perforations improve airflow to keep you cool and comfy on longer distance days. An external heel counter wraps the rearfoot to improve stability and promote complete lockdown; it helps to anchor you to the midsole and reduce in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy a smooth, distraction-free ride. The unique tongue construction is attached to the shoe's footbed by stretchable support wings to maintain a snug, sock-like fit throughout the foot, eliminating millimetres of movement with each stride.

HOVR Midsole

A removable Ortholite sockliner lies atop a feathery midsole, cradling the foot in an extra layer of moisture-wicking, anatomical comfort. The premium product possesses long-term cushioning benefits, a high level of breathability and is very lightweight, so it's a treat for your flagging feet on those strenuous training days. UA HOVR technology resides in the midsole to supply a zero gravity feel. The wax-based foam, which is incredibly strong and resilient, holds a super-soft durometer that offers incredible shock attenuation for every single foot strike. This cushy construction needs to be contained to serve its purpose, so Under Armour wrap it in a compression mesh Energy Web. The Energy Web contains and moulds to the cushioning core to deliver strong responsiveness and energy-return. UA's winning combination of advantages yields a ride that allows runners to perform better with less fatigue. The soft centre helps to spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces, and its mesh web encasement increases responsiveness, reducing your use of superfluous muscle power to keep your legs feeling fresh for the road ahead. Additionally, an Under Armour record sensor tracks, analyses and stores virtually every running metric so you know exactly what you need to do to get better

Blown Rubber Outsole

A lightweight, yet incredibly responsive, blown rubber outsole completes the HOVR Sonic, supplying sticky grip across every road surface. High-abrasion rubber covers the heel, absorbing ground contact and resisting the traumas of heel-strike to provide you with a reliable and long-lasting running buddy. For the athlete who craves an insane equilibrium of cushioning plus responsiveness, choose the Under Armour HOVR Sonic - a shoe inspired by the insight that every step a runner takes has the impact of two to four times their body weight!
