If you’ve decided to kickstart your running journey this winter or you simply need to level up the trainers you currently have, Under Armour has a shoe solution for you.
I’ve long been an advocate for UA’s gymwear in particular, with flattering cuts and gloriously bright colours galore but it’s their sneakers that are putting them on the map in all the right running circles.
There are a number of different collections to choose from depending on what your running needs are and a range of price points too.

The UA Infinite Elite series, which are usually $240 but are down to $144 with a 40 per cent off discount code, is ultra springy and propels you forward with HOVR+ cushioning.
One of the Under Armour product designers described this shoe as “like running on trampolines”.
The sloped heel design and a light but durable rubber sole absorb impact for a smooth, steady feel while you’re pacing along the footpath.
Whereas the UA Infinite Pro, which are usually $200 but are currently down to $120, give you endless momentum with a woven upper layer and airy vents for comfortability.
The UA HOVR running shoes meanwhile leverage the HOVR cushioning which is known for its energy return — that springy feeling that powers you through your longest run days.
I tested out the Under Armour Forge 96 recently for everyday movement and found it to be a worthwhile contender to the Adidas Samba.
Inspired by the iconic style of 1996, the year Under Armour was founded, the design of Forge 96 sneakers uses the finest materials and tech to bring maximum breathability and retro sportswear vibes to the sneaker rotation.
As a 90s baby — born a year prior than UA came to be — I couldn’t wait to get my feet into a pair so I opted for the Mod Gray / White Clay variety.
They feel substantial on your feet at first but they really are light to walk in and the grey tones are reminiscent of styles produced by New Balance that have gone on to become collector’s items today.
I’ve worn them to and from work with ease, on a fast-paced walk and out shopping so they are as versatile as other sports shoes.
If you’re looking for a new pair of shoes, particularly during the End of Financial Year sale period, now is the time to take a look online.
