UNDER ARMOUR SONIC HOVR

-

The Sonic is one of two new models to launch with Under Armour’s big technology bet: HOVR. This entirely new midsole material isn’t dissimilar to Adidas’ Boost or Saucony’s Everun, but was developed by Dow Chemical (instead of BASF) and it’s a little firmer and more responsive in the Sonic. The Sonic is an excellent lightweigh­t neutral trainer, which can also be implemente­d during a race, as it’s light and the HOVR midsole feels snappy and fresh on each run, even after a few hundred kilometres, according to our wear testers. The upper also really shines, as both the all-white and black knit colourways are sharp options, and among the most breathable shoes we’ve ever tested. The Sonic is a great start for an exciting new direction for Under Armour.
