Flow Velociti SE Running Shoes from UA

Let’s look at UA’s newest running shoe – the Flow Velociti SE Running Shoe. The UA Flow Velociti SE is the newest inclusion to the family of UA Flow. It has a running innovation with an all-in-one cushioning system that gets rid of the rubber outsole. This all-in-one cushioning system enables you to run for miles, while the shoe heightens the feeling of light and smooth speed with the absence of sensation in the upper. This produces an exceptionally stable experience with numerous added comfort benefits. Here are some of the styles avialable now from UA: Flow Velociti SE Running Shoe – Overview The Flow Velociti SE Running Shoe is made for speed and breaking barriers and still highlights a responsive, grippy, and supportive cushioning system. While the outsole is removed, the materials used are super-durable and increase ground traction as it maintains durability. Despite sharing this midsole, it is still full of new technology in the upper that extends a unique experience. The foam has naturally adhesive traction, so traditional big overlays of the past are no longer needed. [Read more …]

Reebok Nano X – Newest Colors

Here’s some new color options for the Reebok Nano X. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Nano, Reebok has reexplored this iconic shoe loved by the training community.

The 2021 CrossFit Games

The 2021 CrossFit Games has ended, and the Fittest Man and Woman on Earth have been determined. Held in Alliant Energy Center in Madison, WI, the Games started running from July 27 to August 1 and was participated by more than 600 athletes across 27 diverse divisions as they battled for the title of the Fittest on Earth®. Justin Medeiros and Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr are the 2021 CrossFit Games Champions. Teens, individuals, teams, masters, and the inaugural adaptive division joined the competition, and unlike last year, this year’s event allowed sports fans and viewers to attend the Games, giving the event a lively atmosphere. The Games tested athletes in different fitness events from heavy cardio – a mile swim with fins followed by a three-mile kayak paddle — to the “home run derby” of CrossFit, the one-rep max snatch, to more classic chippers, like the four-rounder of rope climbs, ski erg, and sandbag carries. The Games also added a twist on a normal movement – handstand pushups that, rather than being performed against a wall, were freestanding. After small sets of [Read more …]
