Check out UA's newest releases.

Let’s take a look at UA’s newest trainer, the UA HOVR Apex 2 Training Shoe.

I’m a big fan of the Under Armour’s CrossFit shoe – the UA TriBase Reign 2.

When I heard that UA was releasing a shoe that combined the stable “TriBase” with their HOVR foam – I just had to check it out.

UA HOVR Apex 2 Training Shoe – Overview

What’s special about this shoe?

First, it uses UA’s HOVR technology to provide what they describe as a “zero gravity feel”.

UA HOVR Apex 2 Training Shoes
With HOVR foam – this shoe should be great for all kinds of functional fitness and bodyweight training.

HOVR is soft foam that gives energy return – when you compress it, it returns to form in a crisp fashion.

(It’s quite similar to Nike’s React foam, by the way).

UA HOVR Apex 2 Training Shoes - Blackout Purple / Photon Blue
You can see lots of foam in the midsole of this shoe – that is UA’s HOVR technology – their most advanced cushion.

So, it gives some energy back, but it also helps eliminate impact – because it is cushioning after all.

For a cross training shoe you need some cushion – but not too much.

How does UA find the right balance of cushion and stability?

The HOVR foam in this shoe is contained within a firmer EVA midsole.

The TriBase is here – and this helps provide stable support – and grip.

You’ll also see that the TriBase is present on the outsole – this maximizes ground contact and helps provide grip during heavy lifts.

The upper is a lightweight breathable mesh – but they’ve added 3D Print to make it tough too.

The upper is a lightweight, breathable mesh – with 3D print on top of it for extra toughness.

We also like the innovative strap – because it draws the heel back and locks it into place for an enhanced fit.

What’s the offset (or “Heel to Toe Drop”)?

8 mm.

These should be great bodyweight trainers for HIIT workouts and more.

UA HOVR Apex 2 Training Shoes - Black / Mod Gray
Heel to Toe Drop (or Offset) is 8mm.

The UA HOVR Apex 2 is a new cross trainer from Under Armour that combines the stability of the TriBase with the cushion and bounce of UA’s HOVR foam.

Use this shoe for all sorts of workouts – and enjoy the enhanced performance.
