Under Armour: From Street to Summit

By Silvia Galliani

It’s called From Street to Summit and it’s the new FW19/20 collection by Under Armour that supports athletes in different outdoor activities. Woven jackets, elegant bodysuits, tactical vests and fleece pants, a complete line from head to toe,  ideal for any discipline from running to training.

The brand combines its know-how on high-performance clothing with stylish elements without losing sight of its mission, which is making every athlete better. In fact, training outdoor helps reducing stress, it changes our mood and always puts us in front of new challenges to improve ourselves. Inspired by this change in the environment, these new products exploit materials and silhouettes optimized for the modern athlete who has to face all kinds of landscapes.
Under Armour teamed up with marathon runner Chase Carter, a Bahamas native who grew up running around Nassau, to capture this first men and women collection’s lookbook for Fall/Winter 2019. The second delivery of the line will be launched instead in December 2019.
In addition to clothing, the collection also includes a new outdoor shoe. The UA Valsetz Trek is an update to Under Armour’s best-selling tactical boots, this time offering speed, comfort and modern lines to cross all types of terrain. As for other products in the line, it is made with 100% post-consumer recycled Polartec micro-fleece technology. This creates a lofted structure with thermal air pockets to retain warmth without inhibiting breathability. The result is a shoe that is resistant, breathable, hydrophobic and quick drying, suitable for any type of condition.
The shoe with a modern construction features a technical web lacing system inspired by hiking and an off-road sole built for speed and traction in any environment. Ultra-light EVA Micro G midsole and high traction rubber sole for grip on a variety of surfaces, regardless of weather conditions, make it a comfortable and a high performance shoe.
