All eyes will be on Sharon Lokedi as she toes the line at the 2026 Boston Marathon, aiming for a historic back-to-back victory. The reigning champion isn't just returning to defend her title; she's doing it in a pair of shoes that are a true extension of her champion's mindset.

Under Armour has collaborated with the elite distance runner to create an exclusive, vibrant hot pink colorway of the UA Velociti Elite 3. This is the very same model that propelled her to a record-breaking win in 2025, where she clocked an astonishing 2:17:22. As the favorite this year, her confidence is sky-high, and her footwear is a bold reflection of that.

"In dreaming up my return to Boston, the Under Armour team opened the door to my thoughts on shoe design," Lokedi shared. "Being part of the process from start to finish on the Velociti Elite 3, from the testing to the color, was so fun! With our uniforms being a bit more subtle, I wanted pops of color on my feet. I cannot wait to race in them on Monday."

Designed to be her personal "superpower" on race day, this collaboration goes beyond aesthetics. It represents the fusion of elite performance technology and an athlete's unique competitive spirit. For runners inspired by Lokedi's journey, a limited quantity of this exclusive colorway will be available for purchase at Dick’s House of Sport on Boylston St. starting Saturday, offering a chance to lace up in a champion's choice.
