Detailed Review
The Under Armour HOVR SLK Sneaker is crafted for young athletes who need a shoe that can keep up with their active lifestyles. Starting with the lightweight mesh upper, this design ensures that the foot remains well-ventilated, which is crucial during intense physical activities.
The firm external heel counter is particularly noteworthy as it locks the back of the foot in place, providing stability and reducing the risk of injuries. The air mesh tongue construction not only adds to the overall look of the sneaker but also enhances airflow, making these shoes an ideal choice for warmer days.
What truly sets the HOVR SLK apart is the UA HOVR technology. This feature provides a unique ‘zero gravity feel,’ allowing your child to experience reduced impact while running or jumping. It’s an essential characteristic that promotes longevity in the shoe and boosts performance.
The full-length EVA sock liner offers cushioning that adapts to the shape of the foot, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit all day long. Whether your child is at school, playing sports, or just hanging out with friends, these sneakers provide the versatility they need.

These shoes are so cute. I bought these for a steal and putting them up for school shoes next year so unsure how they will fit. I love the colors. I know my granddaughter will love them.
Shoe is falling apart after two months. My daughter only wear them twice
