Under Armour has expanded its Velociti running franchise with the new Velociti Distance and Velociti Pace. This expansion offers runners a complete ecosystem for every stage of training. With this launch, the full Velociti lineup now covers everything from daily mileage to race day performance.
Building on last year’s Velociti Elite 3, Velociti Pro 2, and Velociti SPD, the Distance and Pace models reinforce Under Armour’s commitment to innovation. Additionally, they highlight athlete-focused performance.
Performance Backed by Elite Athletes
Elite runner Sharon Lokedi has been relying on the Velociti platform throughout her training for the Boston Marathon. “Defending my title in Boston means showing up stronger, smarter, and more prepared,” she says. “What I appreciate most is how each Velociti shoe has a clear role in my training. I use the Distance on long run days to build strength and confidence and the Elite 3 when I need extra propulsion on race day. Having that consistency lets me focus on execution one session at a time.”
Designed for Every Stage of Training
The Velociti Distance offers stability, cushioning, and durability for high-mileage weeks. It provides a strong foundation for long-term progress and endurance building. The Velociti Pace, on the other hand, is lightweight and responsive. It is designed for daily training and moderate-intensity runs, giving runners energy-returning performance underfoot.
These two additions complement the existing Velociti SPD for uptempo workouts, Velociti Pro 2 for structured speed sessions, and Velociti Elite 3 for peak race-day performance. Together, they create a full footwear system. This system helps athletes train smarter and run faster.
A Complete System for Speed and Comfort
Jonathan Hutnyan, Senior Product Line Manager of Performance Run Footwear at Under Armour, says, “Every shoe in this generation of Velociti was created with a specific purpose in mind and reflects feedback from runners at every level. By adding Distance and Pace, we’ve completed a system that supports the full training journey. Velociti gives athletes a clear path forward, from slow, steady miles that build strength to high-intensity efforts that sharpen speed.”
The full Velociti lineup is now available on underarmour.co.za, in Under Armour Brand Houses, and at select specialty run retailers. Under Armour has also launched Velociti branded apparel, including lightweight tops, temperature-regulating layers, and fast-drying shorts. This allows runners to enjoy a head-to-toe system built for speed, comfort, and daily performance.
