Outsole
Adhering to the lightweight design of the Under Armour Speedform Sprint 2 is its full-length Pebax® plate. This spike plate is also highly durable as it employs rigid properties that secure protection from harsh elements. Although stiff, the Pebax® plate still exhibits flexibility to allow unrestricted foot movement.
Upper
To allow runners to focus on the race, the Speedform Sprint 2 is constructed with Under Armour’s innovative SpeedForm® construction. With such fashion, the shoe basically molds to the foot. It allows for a precise fit, preventing premature removal or any slippage.
A prominent refinement made to the shoe is the Threadborne upper. It consists of newly engineered micro-sized, lightweight threads that are woven together to provide breathability. It also permits a compression-like fit for lightweight directional strength.
Utilizing an embroidered construction and a seamless heel cup with silicone grip, this running shoe is enriched with a lockdown midfoot support and structural integrity.
Situated in the forefoot of the shoe is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film that helps further its durability.
