Whichever you choose, having shoes that help you move with infinite ease is critical.

The official shoe – Under Armour Infinite Elite:
Engineered with HOVR Plus technology in the midsole, the Infinite Elites are softer, lighter, and more resilient. The shoe’s warm knit upper is designed to support the heel and midfoot, as well as provide high breathability, keeping the athlete’s foot cool and efficient through every stride. Infinite Elites also come with built-in beaded foam on the top that is high in resilience and has great cushioning for heightened energy return. No matter your purpose, Under Armour Infinite Elites are perfect for both intense training sessions and competitive events.
“You are your greatest competition, and being able to push yourself past your limits is not an ability; it’s a mentality. One that can be fostered by getting out there time and time again. That mentality is how Under Armour designs every shoe and why every Under Armour athlete runs to win.”
