Under Armour HOVR Sonic NC Running Shoes

Created for extreme comfort and weightless speed as you rack up the miles, UA brings you the all-new HOVR Sonic.

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. The proprietary HOVR compound is placed within a cradle of Charged Cushioning foam, a compression moulded midsole material, for even greater responsiveness and durability.

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!
