The new Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm version arrives to add a touch of color and warmth in winter weather, but, especially, so that you do not slow down your progression as a runner, and do not stay at home, without going out to run, because of the rain and bad weather. You will not get better and you will be able to run safely and efficiently in every workout.
It dawns with rainy and cold days, very typical of winter, but you can not make excuses, and you should not let discouragement accompany you, because the new Under Armour HOVR Machine 3 Storm running shoes have the mission to become your faithful and reliable companions for your workouts in the rain. This model of the American brand provides you with optimal energy return in each step, but they are also water repellent, and also include reflective details.
All the news of the Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm
All the strengths of the standard version of the Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 are present in this new version specifically for the winter season. That is, an optimal level of soft, impact-reducing cushioning and great energy return. These features are very well defined, and come hand in hand with Under Armour's cutting-edge technologies: HOVR foam, Energy Web system and the Pebax plate. The result is a safe cushioning capacity, but also dynamic, and that favors propulsion in each stride.
On the other hand, in the section of the main novelties, the keys to this Storm version of the Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 are centered on:
- Under Armour's exclusive Storm technology, which wraps the entire upper of the shoe to repel water without sacrificing breathability.
- Reflective design for increased visibility in low-light conditions. For running when and where you want to run.
- Combination of carbon rubber and injected rubber in the outsole. A technological resource that allows to increase the degree of durability of the model, but also contributes to improve its rebound capacity. Adaptation to different surfaces is notably superior, even in the wet.
As we have already seen in the Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 edition, another interesting detail of this new daily training shoe is that it features a streamlined design in the heel area to offer more support without adding weight or bulk. In addition, the 3D molded insole reinforces comfort and foot support with every step.
Of course, in these running HOVR Machina 3 Storm, we didn't forget that we're talking about a state-of-the-artrunning shoe with Under Armours Mapmyrun connection. Through bluetooth technology you will have the ability to analyze and track all your training metrics to improve your performance.

The Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm is designed for runners with a neutral stride, and is perfect for daily training on asphalt. For runners of intermediate/high weights up to 80 kilos maximum for men, and up to 70 kilos for women.

Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm Technical Specifications
Despite the improvements that these Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm for winter bring with them, their technical specifications remain the same as the standard version of this renowned saga of daily training shoes.

Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm, a well-balanced and very reliable choice for winter running shoe
Living in a geographical location with a humid and rainy weather, it is essential that in your closet you have a place to have your winter running shoes ready and willing, if you want the bad weather does not leave you at home, and become your main excuse to skip the training that corresponds to you. It's clear that in those days you don't feel like running at all, but wearing the right gear can be one more incentive to go out and run. That's why I'm in luck, because I got to test the Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm. The shoe with maximum cushioning, optimized for rainy days, and which is one of the benchmarks of the American brand.
It is true that it is not the first Under Armour model that I have worn, but it is the first model of the new batch of shoes of this brand that I try with its patented HOVR technology. My RUNNEA TEAM teammate, Gorka Cabañas, has not been very misguided in his recommendation, telling me that these Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm is an option that fits my condition as a runner and that I was going to like them. 100% agree. Although, as with all running shoes, they have their arguments in favor and also their areas for improvement. Here are all the details.
Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm Runner Profile
Something to highlight about these Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm is that due to its features and performance it is a model that adapts to different runner profiles. From beginners to the most experienced runners. Of course, as long as the priority is to wear a daily training shoe that ensures cushioning, comfort and stability.
Preferably for neutral runners, but also for mild overpronators. If the idea is to run at gentle and relaxed paces, I would say that you can use it for all kinds of distances. Although if you are able to keep a constant pace under 4:45 min/km, it will be recommended for short and medium distances.
In addition, for its versatility and design, these Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm are also focused on that profile of multisport athlete looking for a running shoe, but also to give other uses, such as indoor training shoe in the gym. Also, thanks to its attractive look, the sneaker option is not ruled out, far from it.
What we liked most about Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm
By being a running shoe for winter running, these Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm solve that problem well, and in the right way, by applying their most cutting-edge technologies such as that Storm upper, atechnical coating that repels water. I can attest to this, because I have had the opportunity to test them from puddle to puddle, and they do not soak or get soaked. At the end of the workout, you take your feet out, and they are completely dry. So their waterproofing is of superior quality.
The outsole compounds -carbon rubber and injected rubber- are designed to provide grip and traction, preventing possible slips and falls, while improving durability.
I'll tell you that I had previously the opportunity to try one of the intermediate versions of the legendary Under Armour Charged Bandit 5, and the sensations are very different. I think these Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm are one of the most balanced running shoes from the American company, in terms of cushioning, stability and comfort.
What's more, the dual density of its midsole not only provides high shock absorption, but also favors a better impulse, and running in a more agile way. Although, obviously, we are not talking about a shoe for fast running. If you are looking for a lighter option, the Under Armour HOVR Sonic 6 may be the model you are looking for.
As is always the case with me, my fixation with running shoes is on the rearfoot. This model from Under Armour also stands out for featuring a more aerodynamic heel area, which translates into better support.
On the other hand, this third winter version of the Under ArmourHOVR Machina offers enough stability to run with the security and confidence you need in every stride.
Its versatility also catches your attention, because you can use it in your cardio or functional workouts at the gym. For that reason, I think these Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm are a good choice for multisport athletes.
Two quick details. On the inside of the shoe, the tongue is stitched to the midsole for added support. Plus, its reflective finishes will make you more visible to the people around you, especially during those winter days when the sun has a hard time being seen.
Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm 3 Storm upgrade opportunities.
I would say that these Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm 's main point of improvement is their weight. Compared to other competing models, this model lags a bit behind. If Under Armour 's product developers are considering a new edition they should lighten the weight, and that it can subtract those 339 grams in size 9.5 USA for men.
This is not an opportunity for improvement, and it's on me. The truth is that I'm not a big fan of constantly looking at metrics, and I haven't gotten around to testing the MapMyRun app. But know that you have the option to sync these HOVR Machina 3 Storm to this app, and thus analyze and keep track of your training metrics to be in a position to improve.

Final Conclusions on the Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm
With all of the information above, you should consider the option of getting these Under Armour HOVR Machina 3 Storm, if you prioritize more comfortable, safe transitions over faster ones. If you add to this, all the technology applied to combat bad weather, while running, you have as a final result: a reliable daily training shoe to keep adding miles, even if the weather outside does not accompany. You also have the added valor that this same reliability on asphalt can be carried over to your indoor workouts. Not for versatility!
