Under Armour Velociti Elite 2: In-Depth Review | Can a Low Drop Super Shoe From UA Deliver a PR?

Alex tested Under Armour's top racing sneaker, the Velociti Elite 2, to find out if a company best known for its skin-tight under-layers and gym gear can actually produce a world class running shoe made for running fast marathons. The makeup is there to take on the likes of the Nike Alphafly and Adidas Adios Pro: the Velociti Elite 2 has a carbon plate, energy-returning super-foam, and comes in a smaller package than many of its counterparts. Is the whole even better than the sum of its parts? Or does Under Armour have more work to do before becoming true heavy hitters in the world of super shoes?
