This new model includes the same hero innovations and key features that we know and love from the trainer, but with a few key differences that give this offering more edge and aggression for the bold athlete:

  • Increased midsole height to make it thicker with an aggressive aesthetic that is run-trail inspired.
  • Updated upper featuring a ripstop and graphic that rises from the midsole. Narrowed toe box for a faster and sleeker aesthetic.
  • From warmups to cool downs, tunnel walks to game days, the UA SlipSpeed Mega is the next shoe for your everyday use.
