Under Armour x Project Rock | The will to succeed

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s commitment to physical performance has gained him global status. Known for his unstoppable work ethic and intense exercise regimens, The Rock’s unwavering discipline continues to inspire people everywhere. With the ‘Project Rock’ collection by Under Armour, the wrestling-legend-turned-actor highlights the consistent work and iron will it takes to succeed.

The latest arrivals in Project Rock have all the components necessary to take your training sessions up a gear. For Johnson, the line-up was inspired by a sense of hunger – the idea that we all have the iron will needed when we decide to push and test ourselves beyond our perceived limitations.

As for the collection highlight, it’s got to be the PR2 training shoes. Marrying Johnson’s hardcore outlook on life with Under Armour’s cutting-edge technology, they promise to be the ultimate workout companions.

Built with perseverance in mind, the PR2s feature a reinforced mid-foot, HOVR technology for a zero-gravity feel and energy return that induces both support and springy take-offs. Plus, Under Armour’s TriBaseTM technology maximises ground control while allowing your foot to bend and move while you work out.

The shoes are adorned with bull horns, which represent the Brahma Bull mentality because of the fact that they, like progress, always face forward. Other details resemble a truck to signify the power and drive provided by the mid-foot of the shoe, which is made with a unique bedliner texture for anti-slip support and stability when your body is in motion.

The collection is fearless in tone, designed to be worn to the likes of the ‘Iron Paradise’, Johnson’s at-home gym. “With more than 40,000 pounds of iron and sweat that symbolise the physical and mental strength needed to push past expectations, the Iron Paradise is much more significant than a gym: it’s a sanctuary, an escape, and a place where personal training goals are both achieved and failed,” says Johnson.
