PROPELLING RUNNERS INTO THE NEXT DECADE

Under Armour Continues to Solve the Needs of Every Runner With Updates and New Additions<BR>to the Trusted UA HOVR Lineup.

Under Armour is committed to giving athletes the tools they need to perform their best. In 2018, the brand first launched the proprietary UA HOVR™ cushioning across all performance running shoes. With the goal of providing energy return with every foot strike, UA HOVR was designed to make every stride feel light and effortless—ultimately propelling the runner forward. 

 

UA HOVR sought to defy the common issue in running shoes that softer means slower, and higher energy return means firmer and less comfortable, by offering the perfect balance of both. The evolving UA HOVR suite of running shoes offers a solution for every type of runner—from those training for their first 5K to professional runners pursuing marathon finish lines.

 

In 2020, Under Armour continues to build upon this momentum by updating each trusted shoe in the HOVR suite, and introducing a new model, the UA HOVR Machina.

Under Armour delivers even more to runners through the footwear’s connected capabilities. Each style in the UA HOVR suite of run footwear is digitally connected, allowing the runner to seamlessly connect their shoe to the MapMyRun™ app, unlocking access to the runner’s performance data and personalized coaching. The shoes track a wide array of data such as distance, pace, and splits, and even more detailed running form data including cadence and stride length. 

 

Beginning February 1 2020, UA HOVR footwear connected to UA MapMyRun™ can provide personalized, real-time Form Coaching to each athlete—when running with their phone and connected footwear—helping runners find their ideal running form. This means a community of 270 million users can now have more data and tools to get better than ever before.

 

The UA HOVR run suite for Spring 2020 features six different running shoes, designed to meet the demands of every type of runner:

 

"The performance running footwear team here at UA is maniacally focused on making the best products, and solving problems that runners face. We're constantly incorporating feedback from runners to bring them needed solutions that help them get better and achieve their personal goals."
