As well as the firm foam, it's probably also thanks to the lack of rubber outsole. On the other hand, the Flow Velociti Wind 2 provides a near-silent ride. I love Nike ZoomX foam, but people can hear you coming from miles away when you wear the Nike ZoomX Streakfly – it makes a squishy sound. Said firmness gives the Flow Velociti Wind 2 a snappy feel it moves around quickly, often without making a sound, something I appreciated. The shoe feels firm mainly because we are so used to soft foam now. Of course, when I say it's firm, I don't mean it's like running on bricks strapped to your feet. I completely agree with people who say the Under Armour Flow Velociti Wind 2 provides a firm ride it really does. I don't mind firm cushioning, and after a while, you'll need a break from soft, carbon-plated, high-stack running shoes, shoes I often wear for testing or pleasure. In a weird, almost masochistic way, I enjoyed running in the Under Armour Flow Velociti Wind 2.

The grooves are a bit shallower than the ones you find on standard rubber outsoles, and maybe they will degrade faster, too only time will tell if this is the case. The outsole's durability has been questioned before, but from what I can tell, the Flow sole won't crumble away after a few runs. The weight reduction is certainly a welcome feature! ![]() The result is a bit of a mixed bag, but on dry tarmac, the grip is not too bad. The main appeal of the shoes is the one-piece Flow midsole – this technology fuses the outsole with the midsole, making rubber outsoles obsolete without sacrificing grip. It won't replace your running watch, but I think it's cool that Under Armour can incorporate this technology into its shoes. ![]() And it's not just passive data collection should you have your phone with you, it can give you advice on how to improve running form real-time. Most Under Armour running shoes can connect to your smartphone using Bluetooth and feed data into the UA MapMyRun app. (Image credit: Matt Kollat/T3) Under Armour Flow Velociti Wind 2 review: Tech ![]()
