Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Running Shoes

Under Armour want to help you hit negative splits. How? First, keep your legs fresh with soft cushioning and energy return. Then, spring forward with the speed of UA HOVR. Make your last mile a fast mile.

Engineered Warp Upper

Providing feet with an optimum level of comfort, the HOVR Machina 3's have an engineered warp spacer upper. This lightweight construction keeps feet contained, yet provides an ideal level of breathability for your feet to thrive. Perforations through the fabrics allow air to flow freely through the shoes, therefore allowing warm, used air to be efficiently replaced by cold, fresh air. Not only this but the shoes have a strategically-mapped design that has no overlays or seams, therefore allowing you to put in the miles without irritation or chafing. As well as this, the upper features a mineral-infused rush lining that absorbs your body energy and reflects it back to improve your endurance over long distances. Completing the upper is a lacing system that locks down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.

UA 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 wraps 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, the shoes boast UA MapMyRun technology which provides you with real-time, personalised coaching tips to improve your form, helping you to run 7% faster, and 3% farther.

Durable Rubber Outsole

Designed to provide durable traction over long distances, the HOVR Machina 3's utilise a durable rubber outsole, which has less weight and added flex than their predecessors. The rubber used on the outsole is extremely durable and abrasion-resistant to ensure long-lasting grip on road surfaces. This will protect the shoe, and the outsole's durability over a long course of time, increasing the shoe's longevity. The rubber is able to form a solid bond with the ground below. This will ensure that you will stay in complete control with a smooth and stable ride.
