It’s not easy to make one of the best carbon plate running shoes. Almost every brand now has a super-shoe in its line-up, but creating the magical feel of top racers like the Nike Vaporly isn’t as simple as sticking a carbon plate between two layers of bouncy foam.
The Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite illustrates how tricky it is for a brand to nail its first super-shoe. The main elements of a modern-day racer are there, but the performance isn’t as good as the best options available, making it hard to recommend the Velociti Elite.
