These days, when a popular workout shoe line drops a new model we don’t always see big changes, it’s often the odd tweak – a little more foam in the midsole, or a slightly redesigned upper, perhaps. Under Armour’s TriBase Reign 6 shoe has had a complete makeover though – with a minimal heel-to-toe drop, a new dual-density midsole, a more durable upper, enhanced flexibility, and a brand-new look.
While their appearance didn’t appeal to me (they remind me of my old P.E. daps), and ultimately led me to leave them in the box for quite some time, I think these changes are for the better. During my two weeks of testing, I found them to be a solid workout shoe; they excelled for heavy lifts with great ground stability and provided excellent flexibility for HIIT and lateral exercises, as well as being a good all-round shoe for general gym use.
