Under Armour New Innovative Technology in its Fall/Winter 2016 Collection
With a focus on running and training, the Fall/Winter collection was launched in stores from mid-August 2016.
Under Armour Charged Bandit 2
The collection includes the new and improved Under Armour Charged Bandit 2 which will accompany long distance runners to achieve their new personal best.
The enhanced UA Charged Bandit 2 secures your foot in place using the smooth, ultrasonic welded seaming with Bernis tape technology, without leaving any uncomfortable pressure on the foot. The Micro G foam in the midsole combined with Charged EVA running from heel to toe acts as a stable firmer platform, enabling wearers to go the distance.
Under Armour Slingride
The Under Armour Slingride features the brand’s innovative SpeedForm® technology to deliver an unprecedented precision fit for unrivalled comfort and zero distraction. Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fibre, is woven into the shoe’s upper for the ultimate in durable flexibility. In addition, the seamless asymmetric zonal compression slingshots your feet from heel to toe, allowing you to push off from the ground with ease.

The two-toned webbing system along the interior of the shoe adds a pop of colour to the sleek and sporty design – perfect for those who want to look good while working out.
