I Tried Under Armour's Race Shoe (I Got It for $80)

The Daily Hobby Jogger Show · 2025-01-09

The Under Armour Velociti Elite 2 is a marathon racing shoe designed for the brand's elite athletes. Priced at $250 MSRP, I was able to snag a pair at $80 before the holidays on a crazy sale. In this video, I give an overview of the Velociti Elite 2, take measurements in the lab, take it out for a run and let you know how it stacks up.
