Under Armour Elevates Dual-Mode Footwear with the UA SlipSpeed Mega – News18

Under Armour, renowned for its innovative approach to athletic wear, has once again pushed the boundaries of performance footwear with the launch of the UA SlipSpeed Mega. This latest iteration of dual-mode shoes, designed to adapt seamlessly to different training needs, promises to redefine versatility for athletes.

The UA SlipSpeed, initially introduced over a year ago, was a game-changer in the training shoe market with its convertible heel design. Engineered for both rigorous training and all-day wear, the shoe incorporates Under Armour’s signature UA Flow and Iso-Chill technologies, along with the BOA® Fit System, to deliver unparalleled performance. Now, with the introduction of the UA SlipSpeed Mega, Under Armour takes this concept further, featuring a supersized midsole that offers enhanced energy return and comfort.

The UA SlipSpeed Mega, priced at INR 16,999, is now available on underarmour.in and in all Under Armour Brand Houses across India. The shoe comes in two striking colorways: a dynamic trio of Black, Mod Gray, and Red, and a classic White, catering to athletes with both bold and timeless style preferences.

The new UA SlipSpeed Mega is designed for athletes who demand more from their footwear. With a convertible heel that transitions effortlessly from recovery mode to training mode, this shoe is built to handle everything from warm-ups to game days. The enhanced midsole height, inspired by trail-running aesthetics, provides a thicker and more cushioned experience, while the updated upper features a ripstop graphic that adds an edge to its sleek, narrowed toe box design.

One of the standout features of the UA SlipSpeed Mega is its unique heel-folding technology. Unlike regular shoes that degrade when the heel is crushed, the SlipSpeed Mega allows athletes to switch between modes without compromising on performance. The BOA® Fit System further enhances this adaptability, offering a micro-adjustable, personalized fit that locks down the foot during intense training and releases it for more relaxed wear.

The UA SlipSpeed Mega also benefits from UA Flow technology, the same lightweight cushioning and traction system used in Stephen Curry’s signature Curry Flow line. This ensures that the shoe delivers on both comfort and performance, making it a reliable choice for athletes at any level.

Key Features of the UA SlipSpeed Mega:

• FLOAT: Supersized UA Flow cushioning for a nearly weightless feel.
• FRESH: Breathable upper with reinforced materials and engineered venting.
• CLICK: BOA Fit System for a personalized, secure fit with a 12-point lockdown system.
• COOL: Iso-Chill padded interior for a cool-to-the-touch experience from heel to toe.
• CLEAN: Machine washable for easy maintenance.
• FLIP: Convertible heel that transitions between training and recovery modes.

With these innovations, Under Armour continues to cater to the evolving needs of athletes, ensuring that their footwear can keep up with the demands of modern training while offering the comfort and style necessary for everyday wear. The UA SlipSpeed Mega is not just a shoe—it’s a multi-dimensional tool designed to empower athletes in every aspect of their performance.
