Sportswear label [Under Armour](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ua-echo) celebrates [Pride Month](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooks-running-x-jzd-collection) with its latest iteration of the classic HOVR Sonic sneakers. The [running shoe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-running-cloudultra) takes on a Pride edition, adorned with colorful rainbow hues across its midsoles. The lightweight shoes weigh in at approximately eight ounces to deliver comfortable wear over long periods of time.

Additionally, it has a built-in insole technology to elevate its functionality even further -- the removable OrthoLite combines performance and comfort. The OrthoLite sock liner is anti-microbial and molds specifically to each wearer's foot to add customized comfort and cushioning. It also allows for functional breathability for the warm weather upon us. Priced at $110 USD a pair, the Pride iteration of the HOVR Sonic sneakers are now available for purchase online at Under Armour.
