Profile of the Under Armour Charged Ultimate 2.0
The Under Armour Charged Ultimate 2.0 got a serious makeover compared to its predecessor. The new version has a more understated and streamlined design. The upper now employs a burrito-tongue construction for a more precise fit. A knit fabric is added to the medial quarter for a comfortable, customized fit. The external heel cup also has a more minimalist design that is different from the previous version.
Outsole
The full-length rubber outsole protects the Under Armour Charged Ultimate 2.0 from abrasion. It is non-marking, so it does not scuff or damage the wooden and tiled floors in indoor gyms.
A unique tread pattern is featured in this training shoe. It’s designed to deliver multi-surface grip and traction. There are strategically-placed flex grooves in the forefoot section to ensure the optimum flexibility of the foot.
Midsole
Responsive cushioning in the Under Armour Charged Ultimate 2.0 is provided by the Charged Cushioning midsole. Its purpose is to absorb impact and to return energy to the foot of the wearer. This unit has also been carried over to the new version of the trainer, the Charged Ultimate 3.0.
The shoe utilizes the 4D Foam sock liner, which molds to the shape of the foot to eliminate slippage. It’s also designed to provide underfoot comfort.
The platform extends to the upper and wraps the front and lateral sides of the shoe for added support. Its back portion also juts out and forms into a rear bumper for enhanced durability.
Upper
The upper of the Under Armour Charged Ultimate 2.0 is primarily made of synthetic material and tightly-woven mesh for a breathable yet snug coverage. The medial quarter of the shoe has a piece of flat knit fabric that contributes to the comfort and steadiness of the foot.
The burrito-tongue construction delivers a locked-in, supportive fit throughout the midfoot. Its style prevents the tongue from bunching up or moving to the sides during workouts.
The TPU skin over the forefoot section is utilized for versatile support. It also reinforces the high-wear toe box area to protect the shoe from damage.
The shoe makes use of an external heel counter. It holds the rear of the foot firmly in place throughout the training.
