The Shoe Game Just Changed...




Introducing the Under Armour SpeedForm.  This is the shoe that's about to change the shoe business as far as manufacturing.  The SpeedForm is basically a bra for your feet as Under Armour's Senior Director of Footwear Dave Dombrow explains.  The upper is a seamlessly construction with a heel cup made of one material.  Think of it as a comfortable pair of socks built for running.

What makes this shoe so interesting is that the upper was made in a bra factory!  Yes, that's right, a bra factory.  Why?  Because that industry specializes in making products that fit the body comfortably.  Nice approach to solving performance issues with running shoes.  Needless to say I WILL be buying these in late June.  Will you?  Click the link below to read up on this!
