Great!

The HOVR Rise 3 is a solid cross-trainer that can do it all but is not specialized in anything particular. It is perfect for those who do a little bit of everything at the gym. The trainer is priced lower than its premium-level counterparts and yet features the brand’s advanced technologies that help the Rise 3 feel premium too.

An expert Kemba calls it “a really good bet” for the above-mentioned activities. It is "ready to perform!"

The shoe doesn't disappoint in the style department either, as its "look calls so much attention." Another Kemba claims that "although [he] purchased for the looks, [he] was really impressed with the comfort and quality."

Who should NOT buy the trainer

If you are into some serious Crossfit with lots of heavy lifting, rope climbs, and demanding fitness goals in general, the HOVR Rise 3 is not the shoe for you. There is a more suitable UA shoe for that kind of training, the TriBase Reign 3. And if you want a high-performing Crossfit shoe that’s still comfortable enough for walking around, consider the Under Armour UA RIVAL FLEECE JOGGERS or the Reebok Nano X1.

Under Armour HOVR Rise 3 vs. Rise 2: what’s new?

The Rise 3 has brought with it a few very welcome updates that really helped the shoe to step-up the game:

  • TriBase sole: this design has gained such a great reputation for the versatility it gives in other UA shoes, that any new trainer that uses it instantly draws attention;
  • Thicker HOVR cushioning: an expert noted that the midsole got bigger and “there is a lot of beef down here”;
  • UNDER ARMOUR Pantaloni sportivi rosa.

What got worse? The slight $10 increase in the original price.

But overall, the owners of both iterations agree that the shoe is worth it. A person who's bought all UA HOVR Rise iterations says that "the 1's were excellent, the 2's were better, and the 3's are even higher quality." Another one states that he "can't wait for the 4 series! I'll be the first in line to buy them."

Versatility is at the core of the Rise 3

“It’s such a versatile shoe…not super-niche in any one category,” says an avid Crossfitter, adding that the trainer tackles a 3024971-600 of jumping and lifting activities fairly well.

Nice and responsive HOVR cushioning

Originally used in UA’s running shoes, the HOVR has a lot of fans. The Kembas find it excellent for plyometrics and agility-focused workouts as it not only keeps the feet cushioned but also propels you forward.

However, it’s not the same type of HOVR that could make Rise 3 a dedicated running shoe. Being part of a cross-training shoe, it would be too stiff and unforgiving for runs over 1-2 miles.

It is still considered okay for daily wear, with quite a few people taking it out and about on their casual walks.

It is a stable shoe but only for lifting light

An expert who performs some serious Olympic lifting does not recommend using the UA HOVR Rise 3 for weights over 435 lbs. You will notice the sole compressing and deteriorating much quicker if you do. But, he does find the shoe supportive for moderate loads less than that.

Many other Kembas agree that the Rise 3 feels planted and well-balanced for their regular strength training.

Got the grip

There should be no worry about slipping and sliding in the Rise 3. It’s got a solid rubber outsole and according to the feedback, Under Armour Launch Run Visor.

Under Armour HOVR Rise 3 is comfy and true to size

A vast number of Kembas claim the shoe to be true to its normal size. On top of that, the bootie design feels “very secure and comfortable,” keeping the foot locked in and preventing any heel slipping.

Other comments mentioned the upper "taking Under Armour Armour Streaker Run T Shirt Mens” and the toebox having enough room so your toes "won’t feel scrunched up.”

The long-term durability of the laces is questionable as they get frailed by the plasticky eyelets. Moreover, the eyelets themselves get cut through by the laces, losing their functional value.
