Under Armour will release its latest line of footwear on March 30 featuring the sportswear brands 3D-printed technology.

The Under Armour ArchiTech Futurist, which will retail for US$300, is a variant of the original Under Armour Architech, which was unveiled in early 2016, and released in limited quantity. (Richard Branson was spotted rocking the Architechs in 2016.) The upcoming release features fit-centric innovations that deliver the signature Under Armour feel and underfoot technology that redefines support, you are about to feel all-powerful.

It should be noted that although the ArchiTech Futurist is not marketed as a run-specific shoe, the use of the 3D-printed midsole technology hints at future use in Under Armours running footwear. The ArchiTech Futurist with its heel stability solution is a multi-use shoe versatile enough to handle some kilometres while also tough enough to provide support when strength training.

Whats most striking on first look is in place of a traditional lacing system, the ArchiTech Futurist utilizes a compression sleeve around the ankle to keep the foot securely in place. A zipper along the top of the foot allows for additional support and a snug fit. The high-top look is becoming increasingly popular in the running world.
