The sneakers feature the company’s latest UA Hovr cushioning system, said to provide a plush feel underfoot as well as energy return and responsiveness. The two models also have an external heel counter and a durable rubber outsole in common.
The two styles do have some differences, however. The Sonic is executed with a 3-D molded insole, a stretchable tongue and a flat knit upper. The Phantom has an atypical 5/8-inch collar height, a circular knit upper and a 3-D molded and perforated chamois for a secure fit.

That balance is what makes the product for so special.”
