, which are visibly much beefier than the new Velociti. In order to keep the Phantom feeling responsive, UA wrapped the shoe’s midsole in Energy Web. This mesh material was designed to limit the expansion of Hovr foam upon impact, so the foam could return more energy back to your stride. Flow foam launched earlier in 2021 without the accompaniment of Energy Web mesh—the more streamlined midsole proved energetic enough on its own.
Turns out, Flow didn’t need an outsole either. In our testing, we found that the material withstands scrapes well and offers enough traction to grip city sidewalks. “The foam and rubber combination held up on this shoe, even though it has a lightweight construction,” said one tester. “I tend to heel strike, and this shoe gave me confidence on my longer training runs.
“These shoes felt light and nimble. I aimed for small rocks and curbs to step on and was impressed with the shoes’ ability to absorb the impact of sharp edges. I try to run mostly with a midfoot strike, but for testing, I also did some purposeful heel strikes. The shoe rolled well through all footstrikes and was surprisingly forgiving to hard heel striking. I also did some quick stops and starts on the sidewalk to wear down the foam.
