Under Armour SpeedForm Fortis

Under Armour’s evolution continues as their running line combines the benefits of their two sprinting greats: Apollo and Gemini, to create the SpeedForm Fortis. Packing copious amounts of cushioning in a sturdy frame, this low-top delivers both speed and a ‘walking-on-clouds’ sort of sensation — not to mention phenomenal support. A must-have for any serious runner, the shoe combines Under Armour’s ground-breaking technologies with a sharp and sleek silhouette that comes in bold colourways for both men and women.

What’s new?

At 190 grams, the Fortis is lighter than its predecessors, promoting a ‘barely-there’ feel. The shoe is stacked with plenty of cushioning – ranging from the Charged Foam that moves and bends with your feet, to the Micro G layer that guarantees powerful take-offs and springy steps. The shoe’s cushion count continues on the inside with a snug, moisture-wicking sockliner and heel cup that not only locks down your feet, it will have you blazing through runs with your natural stride calling the shots — which in turn reduces injuries and strains. Dressed to go the distance or to hit high tempo runs, the shoe features a sleek silhouette and ArmourVent mesh that’s breathable and stretchy for optimal movement. Designed with adjustable heel straps on its sides, this shoe promotes comfort on any terrain.

What does this mean for the runner?

If you’re in the market for a shoe that absorbs more impact than usual, then the SpeedForm Fortis is the answer. With all the cushioning it provides, the shoe works hard at keeping your foot aligned, while absorbing the shock that comes when your heel strikes the ground. Suitable for most runners – particularly those with classic and high arches, the Fortis also works like a thruster with its responsive layers, so instead of the shoe bearing down on your feet, you’ll be able to run with your usual gait and hit high speeds too.
