Reliable traction over surfaces

Flex grooves allow the forefoot section of the platform to be more adherent to the natural bending of the foot as it gears itself for the toe-off.

The midsole unit makes use of the Charged Cushioning, one of Under Armour’s proprietary technologies. Two layers of this foam are used in this shoe: a firm one in the heel and a soft in the forefoot.

Steady foot-strike and springy liftoff

This arrangement allows the foot to feel a steady foot-strike and a springy liftoff. A Micro G sockliner is placed right above the primary cushioning unit.

It’s molded to take the shape of the contours of the underfoot, thereby giving support to areas that don’t usually get any attention.

Secure yet breathable coverage

A knitted fabric is used for the upper unit of the Under Armour Charged Escape 2. It is designed to offer a secure yet breathable coverage.
