The Infinite Elite 2 is the update to the Infinite Elite, Under Armour’s original Max Cushion running shoe. The aim of a Round 2 shoe is to tweak the near bullseyes, eliminate any faults, and boost the strengths of the original. The upper is closed mesh over most of the shoe, with the rand, heel, and tongue offering particular support. The open mesh outer layer allows excess moisture to escape keeping the foot cool. Loops at the top of the lace throat secure the ankle, with memory foam in the tongue making for a snug and comfortable fit.The midsole is a fairly tall stack approximately 36 mm in the heel in a size 12, and features an 8 mm heel/toe drop. The ride has a resilient bounce to it, the HOVR+ pelletized foam providing both protection as well as a cushiony rebound. The outersole is solid rubber with rows of holes through the thin veneer of textured synthetic rubber, which keeps the weight down while offering edges for traction in combination with the texturing. Overall, the Infinite Elite 2 is a high mileage option with protective dimensions for recovery, long runs, and daily running.

Testers: “Cushy daily trainer for my rotation. Protective, great for long runs and recovery. Another model for my longest runs.”
