Project Rock, an ongoing collaboration between Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Under Armour, has unveiled its latest gym-focused collection titled 'Work Starts Here.' The capsule features a wide array of athletic apparel including an upgraded version of Johnson's signature sneaker, the 'PR4' training shoe.
The new 'PR4' consists of a lightweight mesh upper, a flat TriBase outsole, and a robust TPU midfoot strap designed to provide athletes extra support during lateral movements. The shoe's TPU heel has also been upgraded to provide a tighter grip fit.
Another standout item included in the collection comes in the form of tech gear. Johnson has released a new pair of over-ear headphones built specifically with intense workouts in mind. The headphones come equipped with noise cancellation technology and unique ear cushions that can be removed and washed.
