Cons

  • Sole slips on wet ground

Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite, a carbon plate shoe that will exceed your expectations.

I debut as #Runtester of the RUNNEA TEAM, and the first running shoe that falls into my hands are the Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite. The RUNNEA staff has informed me that I'm one of their fast men, and as such it's been my turn to review the American brand's flyingshoe for the most demanding and fastest athletes on asphalt.

Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite, first impressions

The first impressions of these Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite have been very positive, because we are talking about one of the fastest running shoes in the coveted segment of the shoes with carbon fiber plate.

It has exceeded my expectations as it really is a fast running shoe and helps to get a very fast workout. Also light in weight, due to its foam and technical mesh.

What kind of runners are the Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite for?

What kind of runners are the Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite for?

Mainly for runners who want to beat their personal bests and run at race paces under 4 min/km. It is important to keep this in mind, as it is a slightly unstable shoe ready to run at high paces.

Mainly also for runners who have a good technique, as its high reactivity means that we have to think about running properly.

Also a shoe for runners who are not heavy as it is a model that will be difficult to control.

What distances do we recommend the Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite for

What distances do we recommend the Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite for?

More than distances, I'd say running at high paces. They're perfect for making records in races of 5,10, 21km...but always important for demanding high paces.

In addition, as we adapt to the type of footprint they have, we will be more and more comfortable to run more kilometers.

What we liked best about the Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite

Their reactivity when running. They allow you to push yourself and give you the necessary speed to try to beat your personal bests.

On the other hand we must also emphasize that this is a flyingshoe really comfortable to the foot, with a very thin fabric, which perhaps in winter can make us spend a little cold, but perfect for use when the weather is good. For example, during spring and summer. They are very comfortable, truth be told.

They have allowed me to do high paces in a very comfortable way, and also withstanding well the passage of kilometers. They are slightly lower than the competition with a slightly lowerdrop.

Opportunities for improvement in the Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite

The sole slips a bit on wet or damp terrain and would be a point to try to improve in future editions of this maximum performance and speed model from Under Armour.

Also, and as I have already mentioned, the technical mesh of its upper is perhaps too thin. This limits the use of this shoe for running in cold temperatures.

And as in almost all racingshoes designed for fast running, another point of improvement would be to reduce that certain feeling of instability that is generated with the passage of kilometers.

This running shoe from Under Armour that has pleasantly surprised me. Very fast, if a bit unstable, but that's also the must that almost all carbon plate shoes have.

In addition, I loved the aesthetics of the shoe and its design. Very colorful with very comfortable textiles and an amazing reactivity to be able to squeeze to the top with them. The shoes certainly exceeded my expectations.
