The Flow Velociti Elite is Under Armour’s latest and probably fastest running shoe to date. These shoes are designed to provide runners with a lightweight and comfortable feel while delivering maximum performance. The carbon-fibre plate technology in these shoes ensures that runners can run faster and longer, without feeling much discomfort.
Design
The first thing you notice when you see these shoes is their unique design. The Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite have a sleek and modern look that is sure to turn heads. The shoes also feature 360° reflectivity for added visibility in low-light runs.
Fit and Comfort
The Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite is designed to provide a comfortable and snug fit. The shoes feature a sock-like upper that wraps around your foot, providing a secure fit without feeling constrictive. The upper of the shoe is made from a lightweight and breathable material that allows air to circulate, keeping your feet cool and dry even during the most intense runs.
The shoes come in a wide toe-box and are available in a diverse range of sizes, ensuring that you can find the perfect fit for your feet. The shoes also feature a traditional lace-up closure that allows you to adjust the fit as needed.
Performance
The shoes feature a carbon-fibre plate that runs the length of the shoe, providing runners with a stable and responsive ride. The plate helps to transfer energy from your foot to the ground, providing an added boost with each stride. The shoes also feature a unique foam midsole that helps to absorb impact, which can reduce the risk of injury and provide a more comfortable experience for the wearer. The plate, together with the foam, will return energy to the wearer on every stride, helping them to maintain their speed and momentum.
The shoes have a low-profile design that promotes a natural stride, allowing runners to feel more in tune with the ground. The Flow technology eliminates the rubber outsole, creating a more lightweight & seamless ride on any surface.
Durability
While the Flow Velociti Elite’s rubberless outsole provides a lightweight, soft and grippy ride, durability is partially compromised by its softer density. The outsole seemed to wear off relatively faster as compared to other super shoes.
Conclusion
The Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite is an excellent choice for runners who are looking for a pair of fast-paced training or race shoes. The breathable and ventilated upper makes running in hot weather a plus by allowing the feet to be well ventilated. It is also suitable for runners who prefer a wide toebox, and a less aggressive toe spring with more control over turns.
