Under Armour Velociti Elite 2

Straight answers

Is the Under Armour Velociti Elite 2 legal for road racing?

Yes. The Under Armour Velociti Elite 2 measures 39.5mm at its highest point, 0.5mm inside the World Athletics 40mm road limit. The limit only binds Applicable Competitions; most club and local races apply no shoe rule at all.

How much does the Under Armour Velociti Elite 2 weigh?

232g in a men's US 9 (UK 8), by the manufacturer's stated figure. Weight moves roughly 3.5% per UK size step, so a UK 11 weighs materially more than the spec sheet says.

What is the stack height and drop of the Under Armour Velociti Elite 2?

39.5mm at the heel and 37.5mm at the forefoot — a 2mm drop. A carbon-fibre plate runs through Pebax over EVA.

How long does the Under Armour Velociti Elite 2 last?

We estimate roughly 260km of competitive life — the point at which the foam has degraded enough that you are no longer getting the benefit you paid £220 for, not the point at which the shoe falls apart. Spread over race cycles, that is what the cost-per-race figure on this page is built from.

Is the Under Armour Velociti Elite 2 good for a marathon?

Yes — the marathon is one of the distances it is built for (half marathon and marathon). Under Armour’s serious racing shoe, and a genuinely good one — the most breathable upper on this list, on a full carbon plate.
