UA Project Rock 5 Review - Are They Just A Gimmick?

I’m gonna be trying out the UA Project Rock 5 shoes, these are of course the 5th iteration of the shoe made in collaboration with Under Armour and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson , which is why the shoes have the Rock’s emblem all over them, a cross trainer designed to do numerous things really well. So they should perform well for squats, deadlifts, jumps and many other things, right?

What are the UA Project Rock 5s like to wear, are they true to size, how do they perform in the gym during weight training and HIIT workouts, and most importantly, are they worth your hard earned money? Let's get into it.

What do you think, are the Project Rocks an attractive option? 🤔

[tresfordays]

I put off buying these for a good while because I didn’t like that they moved away from the sock upper, but I finally got these and despite having a more traditional tongue the shoe is very secure and comfortable, the heel doesn’t feel as chunky as it looks, and it feels more stable than the 4, over all this might be my favorite model to date, and I really liked the 4s

[Monesh]

Great Review bro, just ordered mine for gym use. Will update after i hv tried them.

[brankojerbic]

Got these on sale here in Australia at $120 or around £65.
Find them a really good all-around trainer. Work well in the gym and outside. Stable and supportive. Comfortable doing 6 km / 4 mile walks and not heavy at all.
I am normally a UK size 10.5 but had to get these in size 11UK or 12 US. I have wider feet and no problems.
Lets see how long the sole lasts...

I have both the 4 and the 5. I like the 5 better. The 5 has better stability the 4s were good at first but after a couple of months the sock like upper stretched out way too much and when working out my foot was moving too much in the shoe. Definitely like the 5 probably going to pick up another pair within the next month or so.

Have you regularly worn these since this video? If so, how have they held up?

[ASN-SPIDEY]

Do you think I could use these as casual daily drivers?

[HansLotap]

I have one of this. I wish they also have a high cut version for ankle support. I mainly use mine for weight lifting. This shoe doesnt have any ankle support

[Shadman]

Just got some. The plastic part by the laces does not sit flush against my foot. The plastic part looks warped and there is a gap, even when the laces are tied?

[juliandjung]

i generally run up to 10 kms. will these shoes cope you reckon?

[GAd-xq]

Hey, I can't speak your language. Is it special and suitable for walking, cardio exercises, and weightlifting? Is there a better option than them? Please help me. I'm confused.

[wesleykatlego]

I tried size 14 and they was way too small. Try before you buy

[matyasember]

It is very overpriced. After one month of wearing it won't look the same.
