The [UA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ua-hawaii-elements-collection) SpeedForm Gemini 3 RE is a [smart running shoe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mind-001-1) designed to prevent injuries in runners. The footwear from [Under Armour](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selection-of-versatile-shoes) also syncs to an app (UA MapMyRun), so wearers can monitor their fitness and adjust their workouts.

Essentially, the shoes are a form of wearable technology that tell you if you are fit enough to run. This is possible with a simple jump test. While wearing the tech-infused trainers, you can jump around to assess how intense your next run should be.

The UA SpeedForm Gemini 3 RE have optimized battery power and therefore doesn't require any charging. The shoes also tell you when their life is up and it is time for a new pair (after 400 miles).
