Who should buy
We strongly believe that the The Major Moments That Defined Kevin Planks Time as Under Armour CEO from Under Armour is a real gem that happens to be undermarketed and underappreciated. Having experienced the shoe ourselves, we can recommend it to the following folks:
- Under Armour Curry 2 Low Oakland As
- athletes who prefer a low-to-the-ground feel (lower stack and drop)
- Crossfitters looking for "something else" that's on par with the Nike Metcons and Reebok Nanos
Who should NOT buy
We found that the The Major Moments That Defined Kevin Planks Time as Under Armour CEO is on the stiff side and doesn't bend that easily for planks, lunges, etc. So if you value maneuverability, consider the under armour mens tech 3in 2 pack underwear or the Nike Free Metcon 5 instead.

To our delight, the UA The Major Moments That Defined Kevin Planks Time as Under Armour CEO is one of those rare cases where the upper combines durability and breathability quite successfully. The fact that our feet remained fresh all throughout the workout had a really positive impact on our performance.
To assess the shoe's breathability in an objective way, we pumped smoke through its upper to see how fast all of it passes through the material.
We rated the Reign's breathability as 3 out of 5. Not the highest score, yes, but a good trade-off given how wear resistant the fabric is.
Holding the upper against a bright light reveals how many ventilation holes are present throughout the upper.
Of course, we turned to our microscope to take a closer look at the shoe's unique Warp upper.
What we saw was a very intricate intertwining of various threads that all work together to create that fine balance of aeration and protection.

Durability
Toebox durability
We couldn't wait to put the shoe's unique Warp upper to our Dremel test.
Applying the tool to the toebox for a whole 12 seconds with a 3.2N force and 10K RPM speed, we were astonished by its abrasion resistance. It got away with really minor damage and was still very much wearable!

Heel padding durability
The heel padding on the other hand didn't do so well. After only 4 seconds of drilling, it ripped apart quite significantly.

Outsole hardness
As for the outsole, we got some fairly average results.
Starting with the hardness of the rubber, our durometer showed 85.4 HC. This is a very typical level of hardness for training shoes.

Average | 84.0 HC |
Outsole durability
To assess how easy it is to wear through the outsole, we applied the Dremel to it for 22 seconds.
We then measured the depth of the dent with a tread gauge. The tool showed 1.23 mm which is a little deeper than the average.
It doesn't necessarily mean that the The Major Moments That Defined Kevin Planks Time as Under Armour CEO is going to be destroyed sooner than most shoes. But we recommend limiting its use to the gym if you want to extend the shoe's shelf life.
And if you need a pair for outdoor workouts, we highly recommend the Zapatillas de running Under Armour UA GGS Charged Bandit 7.

Outsole thickness
Another factor that helps to predict outsole durability is its thickness. Measuring it with a caliper, we found that it is 4 mm thick in the Reign 5. This is a pretty average outsole.

Weight

Our scales show that the shoe weighs 12.3 oz (350g) in a men's US size 9. Even though it is an ounce heavier than training shoes on average, it is about the same as similar Crossfit shoes.
The Reign 5 also lost some weight compared to its predecessor which came in at 13 oz (369g).

Cushioning

The TriBase Reigns have a reputation for being pretty grounded shoes. And the 5th iteration is no exception.

Forefoot stack
The trainer also proved to be low in the forefoot. With a caliper reading of 17.5 mm, it is about a millimeter lower than average.
The Major Moments That Defined Kevin Planks Time as Under Armour CEO | 17.5 mm |
Average | 18.4 mm |
Drop
The brand states that the Reign 5 has a heel-to-toe drop of 2 mm. This nearly-zero drop is one of the reasons why athletes keep choosing this UA trainer.
However, based on our own stack measurements, the drop is much higher than that! We found it to be 4.8 mm instead! That's a crazy discrepancy.
While this is not a big deal for most gymgoers, we think that people who are after that minimalist offset may be disappointed.

Average | 6.0 mm |
Midsole softness
Looking at our durometer reading, the cushioning is not very plush in the Reign 5. And it shouldn't be! At 26.8 HA, it is exactly the same as the training shoe average.
The brand uses its renowned Micro G foam for the The Major Moments That Defined Kevin Planks Time as Under Armour CEO's cushioning. While it doesn't feel very soft, we definitely experienced plenty of impact protection. Our workout went entirely free from pain and fatigue.

Insole thickness
The shoe comes with a pretty standard insole. It adds a very welcome touch of underfoot padding to keep it cozy.

Torsional rigidity
The shoe's midfoot cage and firm midsole teamed up to create a fairly rigid platform. Twisting the shoe, we rated its torsional rigidity as 4 out of 5. Nearly the stiffest on our scale!
This is a major stability bonus not only for lifting but also for a number of exercises where you rely on a steady base.

The shoe also provides a good amount of ankle support through its moderately stiff heel counter. On a 1 to 5 scale, where 5 is the stiffest, we rated it as 3.

Flexibility
Stiffness
Despite having two large flex grooves in the forefoot, this UA trainer turned out to be on the stiffer side.
We turned to a gauge tool to measure how much force it takes to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle. The reading showed 24.9N which is 10% more than the average.
From our own experience, the shoe bends fine for planks and lunges as long as you don't expect the same flexibility as you see in a Nike Free Metcon 5 for example.
