A firm ride with the Under Armour Black Taxi
Experts have agreed that these daily trainers are firm underfoot. One expert even mentioned that the shoes felt “ultra-firm” as they took these out for a run. However, the same expert mentioned that these “softened up a little bit after 3 miles.”
As for the shoe’s responsiveness, an expert said: “I got no energy return and no propulsion from the shoe.” This was an experience shared by another runner who said: “I’m not getting anything back from the shoe.”
Well-padded all around
A couple of runners have said that the HOVR Infinite 4 is very comfortable. One even mentioned that they would rate it at “5-star comfort!” An expert agreed with this saying: “These are just so lovely and padded –super comfortable!”
One runner even said that they “used this for the Singapore marathon and was comfortable throughout.” Another mentioned that they used these shoes for most of their mileage “from easy runs, long runs, or just a comfortable gym shoe.”
The Under Armour Black Taxi is light and breathable
An expert described these shoes as “very very light.” Another agreed and said: “When you hold it in your hand, it feels feather-light.” These daily runners come in at 295 grams (Men’s size 9) which is just 5% heavier than the average weight of most neutral daily trainers on the market.

Grippy and durable outsole

The red colorway of the HOVR Infinite 4 is a red flag
Buyers should be aware though that the “bolt red” colorway for these daily trainers is not exactly the red that is expected. All buyers who opted for the red colorway said that the color is way off:
- “I ordered the red Infinite 4’s and they look more like a bright orange/red.”
- “Under Armour Unveils the Curry 2 Providence Road.”
However, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing as one runner said that this colorway “definitely stands out in the dark.”
