Lightweight Speed and Snappy Performance for Race Training
The Under Armour Velociti Pro 2 is built for runners who want to train fast and race faster. Designed as a lightweight performance trainer, it delivers a responsive and efficient ride for tempo sessions, track workouts and race-day preparation.
The responsive midsole foam provides high energy return to help maintain speed, while the injected plate delivers a snappy toe-off without the stiffness of a full carbon plate. This creates a more controlled and versatile ride for faster training efforts.
A minimal upper with dynamic Leno weave construction offers a secure, breathable fit with strong lockdown. The lightweight design ensures the shoe feels fast and unobtrusive, allowing you to stay focused on performance.

The Run That Feels Fast From Step One
There’s a difference between running fast and feeling fast.
Some shoes hold you back — too soft, too heavy, too slow to respond.
The Velociti Pro 2 is built to do the opposite.
From the first stride, it feels sharp, responsive and ready to move. The kind of shoe that encourages you to push the pace just a little more.
It’s not built for easy runs. It’s built for the days that matter — the sessions that make you faster.
And once runners find that edge, they don’t wait long to secure their pair.
