Editor's Pros & Cons
Pros

Knit Mesh Upper

Perforated Tongue

Heel Overlay

Moulded Toe-Cap

Cons

Runs a size too big

Outsole

The outsole of the Under Armour Remix Running Shoes are made with the good old fashioned rubber, but in this case Under Armour states that that particular rubber is extra durable and that will last for quite some time. The outsole is thick but quite flexible, and it comes either in a monochromatic one color palette or in dual color formations. That deepens on the type of sneaker that you’ll choose.

Midsole

Sadly in the Under Armour Remix Running Shoes’s case - the outsole is not the most interesting part. It’s good and gets the job done, but this particular type of sneakers has some way more interesting parts that are so much worth explaining. The midsole is one of those parts. Where to begin? Oh, the midsole is made out of the brilliant ethyl vinyl acetate. A type of foam material that offers good cushioning and compression.

The EVA cushioning in the Under Armour Remix Running Shoes will rest and relax your feet even after hours and hours spent running, and that very same cushioning is lined with very soft fabric. It offers comfort and makes the foot to glide easily on the footbed without feeling restricted or uncomfortable. The comfort that you’ll be feeling with the EVA cushioning and the one piece Micro G foam in the midsole is undisputable, and you’ll crave that same cushion in just about every shoe after this one. This shoe will ruin you for every other that will come after the Under Armour Remix Running shoe.

Upper

Can you say clean upper made from woven fabric? Just look at that upper. It’s so sleek and classic that it’s beautiful enough to bring tears to your eyes. Each of the models comes with a different color in the upper area, and every single model that you’ll choose will come SOLELY with that color that’s what makes them so stylish. You see, if you’re not a big fan of multi-colored uppers than this is the perfect sneaker for you. The only thing that will stand out – color wise is the logo because it’s usually woven with a different color than the one that’s in the upper. The logo is present on the side of the sneaker, and one smaller version of the Under Armour logo can be found on the tongue.

Both the tongue and the ankle collar of the Under Armour Remix Running Shoes have a cushioning for extra comfort, and the molded toe cap will ensure the durability last a bit longer than the regular type of running sneakers. But the Under Armour Remix Running Shoes are anything but regular.

The heel overlay is put there for a more secure fit and supportive grip of the feet, and the knit mesh upper is there to ensure the airflow. But the airflow section will come below. Supporting plays a very crucial role in these shoes. The lace-up closure gives the shoe their recognizable and secure fit, while the perforated tongue helps with the breath-ability of the shoe.

Comfort

The comfort is probably one of the most important things you’ll look for in a shoe, but if that particular shoe is a running shoe, you’ll be searching for that comfort big time. Because if the shoes are not comfortable, the running will be down to zero and nobody wants that. The cushioned collar and tongue increase the comfort in the Under Armour Remix Running Shoes, and the soft fabric lining in the cushioned midsole helps a lot in that respect.

Support

What offers the most support in the Under Armour Remix Running Shoes? Is it the durable and thick rubber on the outsole, the lace-up closure or the EVA cushioning that occupies most of the midsole? Every single item in the shoe selflessly works together to give the best support, and it’s hard to pinpoint which one is the best from the rest. Oh and that very small but very significant detail in the back of the shoe also contributes to the comfort and overall fit of the shoe. Do you see that heel overlay at the back of the Under Armour Remix Running Shoes? Well, that works wonders for the support and the grip of the feet when they’re in the shoes. It’s up to you to give them a try and feel that comfort by yourself.

Durability

Durability is a running shoe’s virtue and recognizable trademark, but over here in Under Armour Remix Running Shoes it’s a promise. Not that many brands can keep that promise, but in these particular shoes the durability is most recognizable in the thick rubber outsole and the EVA cushioning that returns much of the energy back to your feet. It protects your feet, and at the same time protects the sneakers, making them extra durable. Their durability of the shoes gets stretched and prolonged and you’ll be making the returns for these shoes in years to come.

Flexibility

Oh that rubber outsole and knit mesh upper. It’s so practical and wonderful at the same time. The rubber outsole paired with the mesh fabric upper, work wonders for any type of regular shoes, but these are anything but regular. Why mess with perfection, when perfection has proven to work every single time? You’d be surprised by the flexibility that the Under Armour Remix Running Shoes have to offer on your run, and you won’t be able to take them off your feet. The Under Armour Remix Running Shoes are winning the flexibility game and all you have to do is to try them on and see it for yourself. Or better yet- feel it for yourself.

Stability

That EVA foam cushioned footbed is the MVP in this section. The high tech foam that’s inserted in the footbed offers most of the stability in the Under Armour Remix Running Shoes, and because of that reason, Under Armour keeps putting in in their models. Your feet will immediately feel the benefits of that cushioned midsole, but your overall body will reap the benefits on the long run. Why? Because if the feet are positioned in a weird and very painful way, the whole body will be also. And the runners can’t let that happen.

Their feet need to be stable, supported and comforted in the entire section of the sneakers, and especially in the arches because most of the pressure of the body lands there. The round toe style of the Under Armour Remix Running Shoes offers more comfort and stability for the toes. And in the space that’s provided for them in that part of the shoe, they have the opportunity to move and breathe easily without any restrictions or pain. And in the end, the heel overlay does the exact same thing but for the heel. It secures the heel and offers more stability to the back to the foot. The Under Armour Remix Running Shoes offer stability from every section. The outsole, midsole and upper attribute to the stability with the high tech technology, great materials, and fantastic design.

Airflow

The airflow in the Under Armour Remix Running Shoes come from two different parts. The first and much bigger part is the entire woven fabric upper. It covers the entire upper of the shoe, and that alone provides most of the airflow in the shoes. The perforated tongue boosts the airflow and allows additional breathability without compromising the quality of the shoes.

Terrain

The airflow in the Under Armour Remix Running Shoes come from two different parts. The first and much bigger part is the entire woven fabric upper. It covers the entire upper of the shoe, and that alone provides most of the airflow in the shoes. The perforated tongue boosts the airflow and allows additional breathability without compromising the quality of the shoes.

Traction

Just like with every great shoe, Under Armour Remix Running Shoes offers plenty of traction and immediate protection from any type of slipping injury. So, if you do come across on slippery terrain, don’t worry. The Under Armour Remix Running Shoes will be offering support in that respect as well.

Bottom line

The Under Armour Remix Running Shoes are made to last, to provide comfort and to look fabulously fashionable while they last. The sleek and classic design can be seen in different parts of the shoe, most notably in the upper and even in the molded toe cap. Heck, even the shoelaces are traditional and very classic. The monochromatic look of the color palette is put there to offer elegance even in a sports type of shoe, and the Under Armour Remix Running Shoes is the perfect example of that elegance.

But the stability and the comfort that the design has to offer is unparalleled and you’ll find yourself wanting for more and more from that very same line. The EVA foam midsole and the reinforced internal foam padding around the ankle and collar are key in the comfort department. But don’t underestimate the power of the full-length rubber outsole, the reinforced heel overlay that provides additional support, and the traditional lace-up system offers a secure fit in every step that you’ll make. Running with this specific design will feel easy. Running in them will become an effortless thing to do, and will bring you great pleasure. All you have to do is put them on, and feel it. The Under Armour Remix running shoes will keep you at your best.

But while looking at them, it’s important to note that a much sturdier version that includes leather elements would be a much-welcomed addition. The entire sneaker would benefit much more if there was some leather detailing on the upper, just to spice things up.
