If running is your way of countering a lockdown belly and pandemic stress, Under Armour’s new UA Flow Velociti Wind running shoe just might be for you.
There are few fitness regimes quite as timeless as jogging. Whether you’re an avid runner or you’re just trying to keep the calories in check, it’s a great way to burn fat and stress but it comes with its risks, which include impact injuries. All that pressure on joints can play havoc as you age, which makes the right running shoe all the more important.

After exhaustive research – we’re talking three years, 17 rounds of raw material testing, nine rounds of biomechanical testing, 15 rounds of shoe testing, and over 11,000 miles of wear testing – Under Armour has created the all-new UA Flow. This revolutionary midsole is a responsive, grippy, and supportive singular-foam compound that eliminates the rubber outsole, enabling the fitness gurus to create an innovative, high-traction running shoe like nothing you’ve ever seen.
The new midsole makes its running shoe debut in the form of the UA Flow Velociti Wind, a high-performance running shoe for lads on the move.

Designed and engineered to provide great responsiveness and energy return, grippy traction so you can run with confidence, and a groundbreaking super-engineered upper solution called UA Warp that molds perfectly to the human form, the UA Flow Velociti isn’t your average sneaker.
As light-weight as it is supportive, the UA Flow Velociti Wind is designed for speed over longer distances, allowing runners to find speed and support in their tempo – always a handy thing when you’re running distance. Even without a traditional outsole, the new kicks promise no sacrifice of durability or traction, no matter the road conditions, while the addition of strategically placed tapes ensure support that adjusts and moves with your stride.
