Our Verdict
Under Armour Infinite Elite 2
Under Armour Velociti Elite 3
The Under Armour Velociti Elite 3 and Under Armour Infinite Elite 2 are two shoes with elite ambitions, but different uses. The Velociti is the brand's racing shoe, featuring a carbon plate in a HOVR+ midsole. It's lighter and has only a 4mm heel-to-toe drop. The Infinite Elite 3 is a more cushioned, comfort cruiser that has the same HOVR+ cushioning, but with a broader base, a more padded upper, and an eight mm heel drop that makes it more suited for slower long runs.
