UNDER ARMOUR CREATE PRO II
Under Armour have released their new Create Pro II speed boot. The American-based company rose to prominence with the release of their base layers. Now UA boots have slowly begun to make a name for themselves in the Premier League with the likes of Bobby Zamora, Paul Robinson and Daniel Agger all sporting UA boots.
Under Armour is a company dedicated to improving performance through technology and innovation and that can be seen in the new Create Pro II. Some of the featured technologies on the new UA Create Pro II are:
- Structured support provided through a lateral frame.
- Lightweight DS30 Microfiber upper increases speed.
- Strategically placed perforations allow for optimal breathability and moisture control.
- ArmourForm® footbed moulds to the foot and provides optimal comfort and reduces cleat pressure.
- A lateral extension of the outsole that enhances the foot’s ability to remain on the chassis of the outsole.
-Modular Protection Zones (MPZ): durable lightweight protection at key contact points without sacrificing needed compression support.
The bottom line is that UA have developed a speed boot that offers you great protection and comfort. They may have sacrificed some weight in the process however. The current mark is around 150g while these are closer to 230g. The Create Pro II come in a choice of White/Black/Blue or Green/Black/Silver:
Don’t forget about UA’s flagship boot – the Dominate Pro which has proven to be a great success.
Under Armour’s influence in South Africa’s local football league (the PSL – Premier Soccer League) is also increasing. UA sponsor triple title winners SuperSport United as well as provide boots for the likes of:
Anthony Laffor (SuperSport United – Liberia)
Warren Bishop (Amazulu)
Mark Haskin (Wits)
Mabuti Khanyezi (Sundowns)
Brian Baloyi (Sundowns)
Papi Mongomeni (Sundowns)
Thabo September (Super Sport)
Noah Chivutah (Maritzburg – Zambia)
Tsepho Motsoeneng (Santos)
The Create Pro II are available in selected store around South Africa now.
UNDER ARMOUR RECHARGE AND CORE SHORTS
The much anticipated arrival of Under Armour’s new X designed Core Shorts in South Africa is here. Under Armour claim they are the future of compression shorts and most reviews rate them the best compression shorts on the market.
UA Coreshort’s patented X design, which had almost two decades of research invested in the design, delivers support across the entire core (hips, groin, pelvis, quads, hamstrings) to boost speed and muscular performance.
The UA HeatGear® (which keeps athletes cool, dry, and light during warm weather) and UA Innovation technology (Odor control and Ultraviolet protection) is what separates these Core Shorts from the rest of the competition.
UA Core shorts are worn by athletes from any sporting code from, professional hockey to baseball, football, rugby, tennis or soccer.
Under Armour invite you to forget about injury and expect energy in return as you: ‘Believe in the X!’
UA also introduce the new ‘Recharge’. The full body base layer is designed to re-energize your body for the next game or workout. The ‘Dynamic Casting Effect’ aligns and stabilizes muscles so they can repair themselves better. It is designed to target muscles to reduce swelling and decrease pain time.
UA say that for the best results you should:
• Wear RECHARGE™ top & bottom together for 24 hours.
• Wear RECHARGE™ Compression within 2 hours post-game or post-workout.
UA’s own mission statement is to; ‘Make all athletes better through passion, science and the relentless pursuit of innovation.’ The Recharge was tested on male and female athletes who trained in conditions equal to or surpassing the severity of an NCAA-level (American) football game.
