Born from Under Armour's relentless pursuit of performance innovation, the Flow Velociti Pro 'Streetracer - Taxi' is a direct descendant of the groundbreaking UA Flow technology. This model, a vibrant testament to speed, emerged as a specialized running shoe, engineered for the demands of competitive racing and tempo training. Its genesis lies in the desire to redefine the boundaries of running footwear, prioritizing weight reduction and enhanced responsiveness to give runners a competitive edge.
Designed with a singular focus on speed, the 'Streetracer - Taxi' excels in speedwork, tempo runs, and racing, embodying the essence of agility. The rubberless outsole, a hallmark of UA Flow technology, extends the foam to the outsole, providing exceptional grip and traction across road surfaces. It provides a snug, yet forgiving fit, particularly in the toe box, while the EVA sockliner cradles the foot for enhanced step-in comfort and secure containment, ensuring a responsive and comfortable ride.
The Flow Velociti line, including the 'Streetracer - Taxi', stands as a monument to Under Armour's commitment to performance. Its impact is felt throughout the performance running community. The Flow Velociti Elite, a close relative to this model, saw Sharon Lokedi's triumph at the 2022 New York City Marathon. The legacy of the Flow Velociti line continues to inspire innovation and excellence within the world of competitive running, solidifying its place as a cornerstone of modern athletic footwear.
The 'Streetracer - Taxi' is meticulously crafted with a UA WARP upper, utilizing strategically placed tape lines to provide lockdown and lightweight containment, akin to miniature seatbelts for the foot. Its construction incorporates a thin, lightweight Warp knit upper with perforations ensuring optimal airflow and quick-drying capabilities. The midsole features Supercritical UA Flow, a dual-cushioning system with a BioPebax top layer and a Supercritical Flow bottom layer, complemented by a full-length Pebax® plate for propulsion.
