Under Armour HOVR Guardian 2 Running Shoes

The first true stability shoe is the only one you'll ever wear again. Its locked-in feel and stable platform help guide you into a more efficient stride. And that extra support is exactly what you need to keep going mile after mile after mile.

Engineered Mesh Upper

An engineered mesh upper 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. 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. Synthetic overlays adorn the upper for additional stability and support, whilst the toe protection increases the durability of the shoe against foot drag and protects against rocks and pebbles. Reflective details increase visibility in low-level lighting so you can continue clocking up the miles after the sun's gone down.

HOVR Midsole

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. A die-cut, full-length EVA sockliner lies atop a feathery midsole, cradling the foot for an extra layer plush underfoot cushioning. The EVA sockliner eliminates in shoe slippage prevent discomfort from blisters and chafing, whilst providing lightweight cushioning with a responsive feel. A medial-post chassis resides within the midsole encouraging a proper foot-strike and preventing over-pronation for a smooth gait cycle. 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.
