VERSATILITY AT ITS CORE
You see it with many young athletes – they crush the heels of their sneakers and unlace their shoes after a hard workout. Life moves fast for them and there isn’t one shoe versatile enough to go from performance training to recover mode. Under Armour aims to inspire athletes with performance solutions they never knew they needed and now can’t imagine living without. Listening to our athletes and making their problems ours to solve, UA set out to develop a multi-dimensional shoe that can become what the athlete needs it to be exactly when they need it. The result was UA SlipSpeed™ - a performance trainer with a convertible heel design.

BEHIND THE NAME
A sneaker specifically engineered for training with options for all-day wear, UA has reimagined the traditional training shoe. With its signature UA Flow and Iso-Chill technologies plus the BOA® Fit System and new “crushable” heel design, this one shoe is packed with some of UA’s biggest innovations to push the boundaries of performance.
“What we have created with UA SlipSpeed™ is a trainer that not only adjusts to fit your specific footwear needs any time of the day, but also still packs in some of our biggest performance innovations like UA Flow and UA Iso-Chill for optimum training.” said Marcus Cheatham, Director of Product, Special Teams, Under Armour.
When an athlete crushes the heel of a regular shoe, they are deteriorating the performance attributes of that trainer. In creating the UA SlipSpeed ™ heel folding technology, athletes can have a comfortable underfoot experience without compromising performance capabilities. Plus, the BOA® Fit System delivers a micro-adjustable, personalized fit – wearers can dial in to secure their foot for tough reps or release the tension for relaxed wear. The UA SlipSpeed™ is grounded in UA Flow technology, the same proprietary foam compound used in Stephen Curry’s signature Curry Flow line that powers his championship-winning performance on the court. With UA Flow’s lightweight cushioning and pioneering traction, the UA SlipSpeed™ delivers on both comfort and performance.
