The UA SpeedForm Gemini 2 RE (Record Equipped) is Under Armour’s first-ever smart shoe. Built with
the same award-winning technology as the UA SpeedForm Gemini 2—like a form-fitting UA SpeedForm
upper and ultra-responsive Charged Cushioning—it has a built-in sensor chip that connects to UA
MapMyRun. That sensor tracks and stores the running metrics that matter to you so you know exactly
how to get better.
It means this product is compatible with the UA Record app. The workouts and data tracked by this shoe
will show up automatically on your UA Record dashboard once you sync with UA MapMyRun.
There’s a small sensor chip built into the midsole of the right shoe. You won’t feel it at all when you’re
running, but that sensor automatically tracks your performance data, including speed, pace, distance,
and steps. Just open the box, connect your shoes with the UA MapMyRun app, and start running.
Any runner who wants to track, store, and utilize performance data. With this shoe and the MVP
premium service from UA MapMyRun (included with purchase), you get access to pace-based audio
coaching that’s designed to help you become a better runner.
This shoe also gives runners the chance to run untethered. With our Autostart/Autostop feature, you
can run without your phone or any additional devices. No more waiting for your watch to find a GPS
signal, no more worrying about whether or not your devices are charged. Just put on your shoes and go
for a run. The shoe will automatically record your workout and import the data to UA MapMyRun via
Bluetooth (when your shoe and phone are in range).
* Speed/Pace: km/h
* Average stride length: The distance between the heel strike of the same foot during activity
* Shoe Life: Total number of steps taken over the life of the shoe
* Cadence: The number of times your foot touches the ground per minute
Yes. The shoe also keeps track of its own lifespan by tracking every step you take and every workout you
complete. When you reach 650 kilometers, we’ll send you a notification that it’s time to replace your
shoes. This will help you avoid the injuries that can come from running on overly worn shoes.
While the lifespan of any pair of shoes differs based on intensity level and type of activity, we suggest
the lifespan is approximately 650 kilometers.
All of the data collected by the UA SpeedForm Gemini 2 RE is stored in the UA MapMyRun mobile app,
which is part of the Under Armour Connected Fitness platform. The UA MapMyRun mobile app is
available now for download on the Apple App Store or from the Google Play Store. As part of the Under
Armour Connected Fitness family of apps, your workout information can also sync to UA Record. The
data will also live locally on the chip in the shoe for a period of time.
It will soon. We’re currently working on this. Our initial focus will be to bring real-time stats off your
shoe and onto your wrist.
Under Armour developed this shoe internally, and we partnered with leading experts across several
disciplines to bring the technology to market.
12. What premium app subscriptions come with the purchase of this shoe?
As of February 29, 2016, UA SpeedForm Gemini 2 RE is available to purchase on UA.com, at our Brand
House stores in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, and at select U.S. retailers.
The only difference between the UA SpeedForm Gemini 2 and the UA SpeedForm Gemini 2 RE is the
sensor technology built into the sole of shoe. All other performance benefits are the same, like ultra-
responsive Charged Cushioning and the precision-fit UA SpeedForm upper. The built-in chip is fully
embedded and sealed, and it never needs to be charged. You won’t see it, feel it, or even notice it when
you’re working out.
The sensor is embedded in the midsole of the right shoe. For a closer look at where the sensor is
housed, check out the picture on the lid of your shoebox or visit ua.com/gemini2-record now.
The disposal of electronic devices is regulated by city, region, and country. Please contact your local
recycling service center to determine how to appropriately dispose of any shoes that have a CR2032
non-removable battery.
No. The battery is optimized to outlive the shoe and is not replaceable.
The life of the battery was designed to exceed 650 kilometers of active workout tracking and has a shelf
life of more than 3 years.
21. Does the shoe have a Bluetooth connection?
The shoe is compatible with any Bluetooth Smart Ready device through companion apps like UA
MapMyRun.
22. Is it waterproof?
The electronic housing is waterproof and will not be damaged when the shoe gets wet.
The shoe tracks every step you take. The steps, speed, and distance can be actively displayed through
the app for either walking or running.
The shoe will internally store up to 5 runs before you need to sync your data with UA MapMyRun. The
maximum limit per workout file is 6 hours or 47 units of measurement, which would be either 47
kilometers (metric users) or 47 miles (imperial users).
There is no time limit to how long your data can be saved. The shoe will keep your last 5 workouts in its
memory until the battery is dead.
26. What happens when I go for the 6th run if I haven’t synced my shoe to the app?
If you don’t sync your shoe before your sixth run, your first run will be deleted. It is a “first in, first out”
method.
27. How fast do I have to run for the shoe to start tracking?
You can track at any speed if you’re using a companion app like UA MapMyRun by simply pressing Start.
To automatically track runs without a phone or companion device (untethered running), you need to run
an 11 minute/mile pace for three minutes.
The shoe can tell whether you’re walking or running. If you’re walking for 3 or more minutes, the shoe
will end your workout based on the moment you started to walk. If you’re using a companion app, you
should end your workout on your device. Just to be safe, the shoe will automatically close your workout
file after 5 minutes of inactivity.
You can use the shoe for interval training if you’re using it in conjunction with a companion app like UA
MapMyRun. We don’t recommend using the untethered feature for data collection during interval
training due to the pace variations associated with this type of workout.
A fully embedded, non-removable sensor is vital for accuracy. Embedding the UA SpeedForm Gemini 2
RE’s sensor ensures that the shoe is only analyzing actual running strides in its calculations.
31. What are the advantages of this product over competitor products?
Competitor sensors have often been “shake sensors,” which leads to incorrect and inaccurate data. As
part of our commitment to building authentic performance gear, UA SpeedForm Gemini 2 RE delivers
real, accurate, authentic information. And, unlike other systems, we can update ours remotely. This lets
us add features and improve your shoe long after you buy it.
At this time, you can’t track or sync your UA SpeedForm Gemini 2 RE running shoe directly to UA Record.
However, tracking your runs in UA MapMyRun will appear in UA Record as logged runs. This is also true
for syncing your Autostart runs from the shoes to UA MapMyRun.
33. Why does the shoe only start tracking at a 6:50 min/km pace?
We chose the 6:50 min/km pace to activate the Autostart feature to ensure we’re only tracking true
workouts and not “false” workouts, like jogging across the street to get quickly to the other side. This
specific pace also takes into account slow starts, gait variance, and actual loft time, which is required for
telling the difference between running and walking. However, the shoe’s Autostop feature has no speed
limit. Autostop will automatically mark the moment you start walking and will end your workout
officially once you’ve walked for three minutes.
The shoe’s sensor is fully embedded and secured in a leak-proof casing, so the technology is not
susceptible to damage from running in the rain or through puddles and snowy/icy surfaces.
