Under Armour Men's Ua Project Rock 3 Training Shoes Technical Performance

Product Information

Given the relatively delicate upper, I think these might be best suited for traditional resistance training in the gym. I primarily wore these on hardwood and rubber mats at the gym. There are absolutely no signs of wear on the shoe.

The Nano X makes a great weight lifting shoe by the way – very stable heel, minimal cushion, but has a modest 4mm heel to toe drop. The Nike feels (and looks) more streamlined – but it’s actually heavier at 14.0 ounces (Men’s Size 11.5).

Project Rock 3 Training Shoes Versus Nike Metcon 6

We’ve built a range of UA HOVR™ trainers for all our most popular sports, and we use it in shoes for men, women and kids. This is a bit more than your average cross training shoe but not as much as your typical running shoe. Because it comes with Nike’s Hyperlift wedges, you can drop these into the shoe and go from the standard 4 mm of drop to 12 mm (10 mm in Women’s).

UA’s HOVR technology is used in the midsole, which they describe as providing a “zero gravity feel”. This works in conjunction with UA’s compression mesh energy web. I wouldn’t recommend it for running or impact activities as despite the presence of HOVR foam there just isn’t a lot of cushion. There’s not a lot of cushion in the heel (good for lifting weights), and not much in the forefoot either. Looking for sizing advice? These shoes are narrow and short as compared to most other shoes. I recommend you go 1/2 size up to get the length and width you’ll need. In terms of performance, I’ve been pleased with them as well. I’ve worn them while walking and running and have found them to be supportive. UA’s HOVR technology is supposed to help eliminate the harsh impact of your foot hitting the ground and I think it’s done that (at least for me). I suffer from shin splints, but have found these shoes to help with those.The Nike Metcon 6 is an excellent CrossFit shoe – because it’s great for weights, sprints, climbs, jumps, and more.
