Under Armour Flow Velociti Wind Review | New FLOW foam - response and cushion | Best of 2021? eddbud

[@Notnotcam]

Probably won’t ever find me in a pair of underarmor shoes, but their clothing is second to none! Great first impression Edd!

[@johnny_fiv3]

EDD, I have never run in UA shoes but I am impressed at their ability to compete with the other fitness companies whether it be clothing or equipment. They are good at taking the good ideas and bringing them to market for much less costs. I have been using some UA tights and short tights for three or four years now that I picked up for under 30 USD.

[@EDDBUD]

Same here on the tights, they are supremely durable.

5:00 good to hear I'm not alone. There are worryingly few low profile, lightweight, versatile (and non-carbon-plated) shoes on the market any more. Adidas adios was my go to for years but has been ruined by lightstrike.

[@richardharvey4216]

just picked up a pair of these for 60 quid. i took them out for a short 8k progression run. at 6 min/km there was a bit of bounce underfoot. at paces below 4:45 min/km down to 4 min/km the shoe pretty much disappeared underfoot. easy transitions, perfect shoe for quicker paces and tempo days. the midsole kind of reminds me of a firmer version of Nike React foam and i'd put this shoe in the same category as the Brooks Hyperion Tempo. I'm pleasantly surprised with the shoe.

[@EDDBUD]

Glad these are working out for you Richard. An underrated shoe due to the logo only! 👍🏼😊

Want to buy the shoes, but confused by the sizing, is this true to size for you? Or you go half size up? Thanks!

"It feels like I'm running on a sofa." - EB21 🤣🤣🤣 Upper from Saucony. Tongue from adidas. Midsole appears a cross between Reebok and Nike. Outsole looks similar to the Pharrell Williams Tennis Hu. The "onboard" tech is cool, but there are similar functioning insoles available from the other brands. A lot of thought went into this shoe. UA isn't a big player in the game yet, but they keep plugging away. Congrats on the 16k, and congrats on another shoe sent to you for review. ✌🏽💙🏃🏽‍♂️

It's a mix tape of good tracks, smooth yet fun midsole, upper is unique and lockdown is tight. Little to dislike here at all Amado, one i have been urged to use simply because it works! As always thanks for watching, its appreciated :)

It appears to be a marmite colourway, some love it! Others not so much.

[@NotoriousVictorious]

@@EDDBUD haha perfect analogy

[@jimoconnor8597]

I'm interested.....I'd love to try the blue colorway out. $160US is just too steep for me with the NB FC Rebel V2 about to drop. Have to conserve the earth credits. Possibly once the discounts develop.

[@EDDBUD]

It does appear to be more expensive in the us?

[@jimoconnor8597]

@@EDDBUD $160US The new Skechers Excess is $129, the FC Rebel V2 will probably be $130 and the Speed is $160US. I think UA priced the shoe too high. Maybe the data technology in the shoe warrants it? All the runners I know would never use the data as they already have a watch/chest strap/foot pod.

[@sylverville37]

Great work Ed. What comparison could you do between this Under Armor shoe vs the Brooks hyperion Tempo

[@EDDBUD]

The upper I slightly prefer on the Hyperion tempo. But aside from this the flow has a more rebound type feel in the foam. A firmer feel with less compression but real drive and a more uptempo feel.

[@bearsareusjsbl]

As an observation Edd you partially bemoaned the sofa shoes - yet you were fractionally off a PB in the AAA a shoe with a stack height of 39mm. You fix on a style that works for you. You like lower stack shoes, they work for your mechanics- and running style - yet your best race times have come in high stack Nike and AAA shoes. Technology in foams and plates are here to stay, runners want performance, even if they have to pay for it! You can’t repack the Pandora’s box 📦 You’re one of the few shoe-tubers who bring balance in a spread of shoes heights and usage occasions that you review - it’s why you gain thousands of subscribers 🙌

[@EDDBUD]

Hey Steve, the Adidas model strangely to me feels quite firm though forgiving, its an odd feel! This shoe will be loved by many though overlooked too as its not got the stripes, swoosh or a bird :)

[@Dazwilde]

I think you may be on to something here with the more simpler approach. Feel like the big guns are over complicating things with numerous combinations of midsole and different uppers. Think that why i like Inov8 so much. Also whilst we mentioned the speed what do you think of the Saucony Speed 2 leaked images? (DnB really does get you going on those quicker runs doesnt it!)

[@EDDBUD]

Not seen the speed 2 images. Will check it out. I hope they don’t foul it up! 😊🐈‍⬛

[@Dazwilde]

@@EDDBUD not sure if its the final release for the colourway but i hope its not. All 3 I've seen shift speed and pro have a chequered flag style upper. Doesn't look like many updates on the shoe itself apart from colourway. Praying Saucony go back to some simpler looking look like the V1.

[@EDDBUD]

Yeah the v1 was spot on.

[@TimGrose]

Bit late to the party but just picked up a pair of these but they need to go back as the UK 13 comes up very small for me. The insole is the "right" length (32 cm) but the shape of the insole and the padding in the heel seems to throw my foot too far forward and got less than a half thumbwidth left and basically crushing my big toe. Watching this again and reading the comments can't see anybody else having sizing problems so am a bit puzzled here. Now then shall I try and get a UK 14 but that seems ridiculous - true clown feet :)

[@EDDBUD]

They are a touch snug but in those higher sizes it seems there’s massive variation between the manufacturers. 👍🏼

[@cazman41]

Another awesome review! I'm really interested in both this shoe and the Curry 8 which utilizes the same flow tech. I still run in the Tempo% but wonder how the Flow would do as a 5k/10k racer if I use the Tempo as trainers? They're obviously built entirely different so wondering how they'd pair up. Would you recommend a different trainer if I wanted Flow as a racer or would you just use the Flow as a trainer only?

[@EDDBUD]

I do not see a reason you cant use it as a racer. I have seen people race in many heavier and chunkier shoes. It is a lovely new addition and brings something new to the table.

[@p5rsona]

Congrats on 16k!

[@EDDBUD]

Thank you!!

[@ksteege]

Really sounds a lot like the NB Beacon with a better outsole looks a bit like it as well. Might have to check it out. I had a Machina version that was given to me which was terrible for me. Like running with cinder blocks 🧱 on my feet

[@EDDBUD]

Nothing like the beacon in terms of the underfoot, overfoot feel. This is quite a different beast.

[@ksteege]

@@EDDBUD fair enough but so much of the description matched a lot of what the original beacon was described as. Ground contact lighter and even the initial upper. But this does look more like what I was expecting the beacon to become I have not worn v3 yet but was not a fan of the upper changes from v1-v2. I do think this may be a serious try though for me.

[@frankfield7658]

Wow, I have never taken UA seriously for running. Esp the tech, because they had a breach as soon as they tookover mapmyrun. But your description was so compelling, I'm thinking of picking this up for a tempo day shoe. The only thing, did I miss it, or did you say how it fits? True to size? Wide? Narrow? Long/short? Great review!

I too am seduced by a bit of tech and I just about managed to avoid the UA Machina thanks to some less than enthusiastic reviews but this might have to go on the buy list. That said, for a bang average runner, I probably have more running shoes than I need already - It’s an addiction!

[@EDDBUD]

Too true Daniel. There are so many around right now. Few absolute failures really, it’s about finding the shoe that fits. No pun intended. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@Martha-fluterunner]

This shoe is exactly the kind of shoe that intrigues me: simple design, low heel/ankle collar, low stack height, moderate-low drop, not heavy. I watched this video while on our treadmill wearing a brand new pair of Boston 8’s I picked up on sale after the 9’s came out. I’d forgotten how much I instantly loved the Boston 8’s (my discovery model), and the subject of this vlog looks like it’s of similar ilk. About the technology, would it be useful on the treadmill? I don’t bother wearing a watch on the ‘mill and just trust the calibration of the machine for time/distance/pace. What would the shoe’s tech offer there? Martha

[@EDDBUD]

There’s some foot strike stats and also ground contact info. Plus you don’t have to attach your phone whilst using it as it can update afterwards. Nice surprising shoe for me and I’m keen to see some new stuff coming from Under Armour. 👍🏼😊🏃🏻‍♂️🐈‍⬛

[@Martha-fluterunner]

I wonder if UA stores will be the only source for these, or if a place like our Running Warehouse will carry it.

[@chris_mcc_]

Afternoon Edd! Decent looking shoe, and the sounds like a good tempo offering. However, £140? Struggling to see how UA are charging the same price as the Hyperion Tempo or Rocket X 🥴 Also, do we really need the tech? Most of us already have watches, foot pods, Strava etc. Bit gimmicky and unnecessary in my humble opinion.

[@EDDBUD]

The implementation of the tech is really good, though those without a footpod perhaps will find it an advantage. The upper is way better than the Rocket X and superior in terms of outsole to the hyperion tempo and more versatile. As such i see it as a shoe that can do it all, where the HT and Rocket X are more niche.

[@chris_mcc_]

@@EDDBUD fair point Edd, after all you’re the one that has tested the shoe. Hyperion Tempo outsole seemed pretty durable to me so interesting you think the Flow’s will be better 👍🏻

The outsole limits this shoe to the pavement and that drops its appeal. A 120 price point would see it sell more units but UA has some way to go in the running market. Its last Hovr range wasn't liked much and only the amateur runner bought them.

[@teng029]

My pair finally arrived, along with the Velociti SE. I managed to pick both up heavily discounted, so I couldn't resist. The midsole is identical between the two, so the only difference is the Warp upper on the Wind and the knitted upper on the SE.The Wind is the better of the two, if only because of the Warp upper. The SE is also a good shoe, but the knit upper is less supportive due to its stretchy nature. The Warp upper doesn't give as much, so the support and lockdown is better. The Flow midsole is slightly softer than that of the Curry 8, but still very firm. I liked the Wind so much that I picked up a second colorway. I'm on the fence regarding the SE. I don't know if I like it enough to keep it.

[@MichaelLoweAttorney]

How did you calibrate it? I ran a measured tracked to calibrate my stryd. The UA chip went over by almost 3%.

[@EDDBUD]

On the app ( phone ) you can go into the shoe and adjust to a percentage. Best run a known route / distance and you can then compare against another device and up/down the calibration for the shoe to match it up ( from then on ) hope this helps :)

[@garrymunro6881]

Never had much interest in UA shoes before but I’ll put this on my list of shoes to try. The price tag is a bit high though for a non plated shoe without massive amounts of cushioning. I know it has the tech but I’ve got a Stryd pod and Garmin running dynamics so I’d rather lose the tech and knock a few £ and grams off. For £140 I’d pick up another pair of Rocket X instead.

[@EDDBUD]

I understand your reluctance in relation to the stryd pod. Tempted to get one. Can you convince me? 😊

[@garrymunro6881]

@@EDDBUD I’m a terrible salesman. I usually try my best to put people off so they don’t blame me if they don’t like it😂. The Stryd pod was an impulse buy and I’m someone who likes a graph. I’ve not switched to training by power so whether it’s worth the cost is debatable but what I like is the accurate live pace readings and accurate distance. I like using it on windy days or on hilly routes when running to a set pace is hard. If I have to do intervals on a less than ideal route it helps keep my effort consistent. On easy days it’s nice to check to make sure I’m not pushing too hard. I’ve yet to really see how the other data like leg spring stiffness or ground contact time can be used to improve my training but it makes a pretty chart.

I missed the range, tho. Have you taken it long?

[@EDDBUD]

Long run at the weekend in this or 1080v11, will perhaps let the viewers decide. ;)

@@EDDBUD one on each foot would is my vote! 😉

[@samuelluxa6897]

Looks a beauty 👀

[@EDDBUD]

Love looking shoe, though only used in dry weather so far! :)

[@samuelluxa6897]

Although yeh I’d prefer it to be a weee bit cheaper and lose the tech. Surely can’t be as good as the turbo 2 or the Brooks HT??

[@krauz111]

how does this compares to the infinity run flyknit2?

[@EDDBUD]

Much lower stack, more rebound to the cushion. Very different shoes.

[@mikegamber8561]

In the US the shoes are $160 earth credits. In this price point would it still be your choice when considering the other shoes in that price point?

[@EDDBUD]

Move versatile than the Hyperion Tempo yet similar to the speed. Its rigid enough for faster work, not sure what price the speed is in the us?

[@mikegamber8561]

@@EDDBUD speed is $160in US and the Hyperion Tempo is $140.

I will never buy a shoes with internal tech. Most "recycled" shoes are just burned or put into landfill, so electronics + some sort of battery would be horrible.

[@EDDBUD]

I fully understand this opinion Blixten. I hope there is specific processes for recovery of the parts here but as you say a great number of times things are not appropriately recycled. 👍🏼

[@Nyk003]

Hi, i have UA infinite 2. Should i change it for these Flow? Thanks

[@Aphotography-kv7dr]

Hi, What about the sizing, does it run true ?

[@EDDBUD]

Yes true to size 👍🏼😊🏃🏻‍♂️

[@JimTheo2]

It is TTS in length, but you might need to go up a half-size for foot volume. I have low volume size 10 feet, and the upper is very snug, especially in the toe guard area. I had to trim the nails on my big toes to wear these.

[@davelowthian581]

Looks good only hearing good things about these.. Underarmour have been poor so far. I'm right with you on the spongy overprotective way of things been totally put off with nike cos of this

[@EDDBUD]

Too much foam, I remember the peg35 was about right. A combination of good upper and reasonable cushioning. It’s why I like the reebok energy 3.

[@davelowthian581]

@@EDDBUD still got a pair of 35s iny rotation for the odd occasions 😁👍

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

Very good-looking shoe.

[@EDDBUD]

Its a lovely shoe Joe, if you imagine i was in a taper week it still felt good, after a half marathon, still feeling good. Even some higher paces. A really versatile offering.

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

@@EDDBUD this video sounds like an advertisement. I know it isn't and you're just impressed with the shoe.

[@mttcwll]

Why don’t you rate out of 5 or 10 for each category since everything ended up being a 2 decimal

[@EDDBUD]

3 is the magic number and 10 is so everyone else.

[@mjm652]

Is this true to size?

[@EDDBUD]

Go a half up if you like a thicker sock.

@@EDDBUD Nice I appreciate thr response. Btw those it has tight toebox?

Nice shoe, finally UA drop their shoes weight .. :-)

[@EDDBUD]

Yes indeed, nice and low but with ample cushion.

[@johndudley2030]

Too rich for me, tech impressive but not something I'd be bothered by. Good looking and sounds like a great shoe but I'll stick with those Reeboks thanks 😃

[@EDDBUD]

Can’t loose with the reebok energy 3. Superb performance and aesthetics.

[@victor_At]

No matter how good the Velocitii could be, 160€ for a daily/tempo trainer is a hard pass for me. The invincible and the Saucony Speed cost me the same, the Reebok Run Fast is 130€ - 20/25% discount and I love that shoe. Under Armour dropped the ball really hard with the price choice. Much respect for you and your hard work but I cannot agree with a shoe with such an outraging price getting such a high value score (specially when we don't know anything about its durability). Same opinion on the Infinity and even with the invincible which I love. Sad to see companies pushing every day for even more ridiculous prices on their shoes , expending huge amount of money on absurd marketing campaigns (project fearless, this Velocitii offering ) and getting away with murder. I hate to be negative but I'm getting more and more frustrated with this earth-credit escalation .

[@EDDBUD]

It appears the price conversion is different, here in the uk the price is very good for such a shoe. Also, tough to review or comment on the value of it if you have not worn it? The Hyperion tempo is the same price and offers far less.

[@victor_At]

@@EDDBUD The hyperion is in my opinion another highly overpriced shoe, specially comparing it with the soon to be released Puma Liberate (110$ and I hope 110€). And yeah, it's impossible to determine value for a new shoe based on an new foam but I always understand value as an average of usability and how good it perform on its roles, price and finally durability. Here we have good versatility and performance, bad price and unknown durability and yet the shoe gains one of your better possible scores. For me a 2.7-3.0 would be something like a Floatride Energy 3: an almost perfect shoe on every department with versatility, durability and great price. It's your channel and I love coming here everyday, don't get me wrong but I bet many people think like me on this one with that price tag of 160$/160€. The price is so crazy

[@TheAnikdam]

SJD would mess with the tounge to rip it. 😂

[@EDDBUD]

I have the upmost respect for SJD, any tongue will come off with some force. Look at the next% when it released? People pulled on that one and off it came! :)
