TechRadar Verdict
I’ve really enjoyed my time with the Under Armour Infinite Elite 2.
It’s a very pleasant long-distance, easy-going trainer for recovery or long-distance runs.
The cushioning is excellent, the rocker motion feels responsive, and they’re comfortable to wear.
The second iteration features a softer HOVR+ foam underfoot that’s also a lot lighter.
On the flip side, the upper has been engineered to be more lightweight and breathable.
Out of the box, my feelings about the Infinite Elite were a little mixed.
The stack looks imposing, but the overall vibe is pretty bland and uninspiring.
This is a shame because, as we’ll see later, they perform well.
I also didn’t love the feel of the materials.
Slip the Infinite Elite 2’s on, however, and things start to pick up quickly.
While you don’t get carbon-plated energy return, the rocker motion gently propels you forward.
Best to stick to the longer, slower runs Under Armour is targeting here.
Naturally, these are a little on the unsteady side when it comes to stability.
I had to catch a couple of wobbles that wouldn’t have caught out my Nike Pegasus 41 shoes.
If you stick to the slower, comfortable miles, however, the stability is commendable.
Overall, I’ve been really impressed with the Under Armour Infinite Elite 2.
4/5
Design
Disappointing aesthetic, limited and uninspiring color options, some materials feel a bit cheap.
3/5
Performance
Very good cushioning and responsive rocker, extremely good over long distances.
Should I buy the Under Armour Infinite Elite 2?
An arguably less stylish option, but with a more neutral heel-toe drop and considerably lighter.
