Under Armour HOVR Havoc 2 Review
Pros:
Premium materials
Comfortable fit
Cons:
Inconsistent traction
Performance of the Under Armour HOVR Havoc 2:
The first Under Armour HOVR Havoc was a hit with reviewers, so how does the second version perform?
Unfortunately, the traction has taken a step back and is inconsistent, even on clean courts.
The HOVR cushioning is a nice mix of responsiveness and impact protection, not too firm but not too soft either.
Materials feel surprisingly premium in-hand, comfortable on-foot and do a great job locking your feet down.
The mid-foot shank, outrigger, and heel counter provide a lot of support and stability.
Overall, the HOVR Havoc is a good performer that could have been great with more consistent traction.

The Under Armour HOVR Havoc 2 is another solid basketball shoe with traction that's built Ford tough and cushioning that's a little firm but kept me stable and made me feel faster than I really am.

The HOVR Havoc 2 is a good performer but a step down from top-tier performers. I liked almost everything about this shoe but the traction was a little too inconsistent for me.

Except for the occasional slip out, the HOVR Havoc 2 is a very good performer. But I think that you can find better-performing sneakers at $120.

Traction is solid, especially on clean courts. But on dusty courts, I sometimes slipped out on step backs and crossovers.

I found the HOVR to be on the firmer side. The setup provides a lot of stability and court feel but there is not a lot of impact protection.

Really good impact protection without sacrificing too much court feel or responsiveness. I can play hours in these shoes and my legs never feel dead.

Lateral support is very good thanks to the caging of the outsole, ankle support is solid, and I felt stable overall thanks to the low and wide base.

I didn't have any heel slippage, no side-to-side movements on the footbed, and the HOVR cushioning forms an outrigger that provided lateral stability.
