Latest Under Armour Basketball Shoes
The Curry 12 is currently the best Curry basketball shoe hands down. With this shoe, you are getting everything you have come to know and love from Curry’s signature shoes with better cushioning and better traction. Under Armour was able to achieve this impressive result by paying attention to the actual science that goes into designing performance footwear and making a small adjustment.
But the story doesn’t end there. This small but critical change also makes this shoe accessible to a much wider audience than any other Curry of the past, as this shoe will suit the on-court requirements of a wider range of hoopers.

The Under Armour FUTR X ELITE is a weird basketball shoe, not in a bad way, but there really isn’t another performance basketball shoe out there quite like the FUTR X. Traction is top-notch, cushioning is responsive and speedy, support and containment are awesome, the one sticking point is the fit. You might love it, you might hate it, but in our opinion, it’s not optimal for performance.
A solution might be going down half a size, or, again, you might enjoy the shoe in your usual size (it’s just a weird build). One thing is for sure, IntelliKnit is very cool and we are looking forward to seeing it used on more Under Armour shoes in the future. Read the full review. Price: $140
Under Armour’s approach to designing Curry shoes in recent years has apparently been “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. This has worked out well, as the Curry 8, the Curry 9, and the Curry 10 have all been excellent performance models, and each has improved slightly on the last. With the Curry 11 we might have reached the pinnacle of this approach. The one weakness of all the Flow Curry models has been the cushioning. Not that it was bad in any way, but Flow for basketball has been dense and neutral feeling underfoot, making the shoes that feature it fairly niche items.
With this new dual-density iteration of Flow, that one weakness has been addressed. This shoe has everything you know and love from the Curry signature line, with softer, bouncier cushioning. Read the full review. Price: $160
The original Curry 4 was a great, low-profile, and reactive hoop shoe. The original Curry 4 low on the other hand was awful. It fit way too snug and was unbearable to play in. We have also seen a high-top flotro version of the Curry 4 which was amazing. Well, we are pleased to inform you that these are also great and nothing like their low-top predecessors.
The flotro system provides excellent traction and a very nice low profile, durable, and reactive cushioning setup. It isn’t the most plush cushioning but it is great for speedier players. Price: $130
Under Armour Curry 10
The Under Armour Curry 10 is an improved version of an already great shoe, the Curry 9. The Curry signature line has featured Under Armour’s Flow technology since the Curry 8, and the Curry 10 is no different. The shoe features Under Armour’s Flow cushioning/ traction system which offers great impact protection, a seamless ride from heel to toe, and incredible traction. It’s perfect for guards as it’s almost like a running shoe beefed up for basketball. The Curry 10 also features an upgraded Warp 2.0 upper that’s super comfortable. Read full review. Price: $160
Under Armour Curry 2 / Curry 2 Flotro
The Under Armour Curry 2 is back once again and it is better than ever. The Curry 2 originally release back in 2015 and was an excellent on-cout performance model, and this version is practically identical. The OG Curry offers elite traction, reactive and stable cushioning (which is slightly plusher than the 2015 version), and an improved fit.
If that weren’t enough we also have an upgraded version of the shoe with the Under Armour Curry 2 Flotro. The Flotro version of the shoe comes with UA’s FLow technology and is a slightly better option if we are talking about on-court performance. Price: $160.
Under Armour Flow FUTR X 2
The Under Armour Flow FUTR X 2 nearly uses FLOW with some tweaks. It’s cool that we can get almost the same technology at a lower price point. The upper is made up of a full textile upper. Know that there is some break-in time needed, but it’s only about one session. There’s also micro-molded mesh in the rear section and tiny bits of synthetics. Great if you’re looking to try Flow without spending too much. Read the full review. Price: $120

Best Outdoor Unde Armour Basketball Shoe
Under Armour Spawn 4
The Under Armour Spawn 4 is a guard-specific shoe and you’ll quickly figure that out once you put them on your feet. The midsole is full-length MicroG which is comfortable. The heel portion of the midsole is rounded much like the Nike Giannis Immortality 2. The materials are basic with flexible nylon woven mesh consisting all of the upper with additional fuse overlays for durability purposes. Be careful with the fit, though. Many will want to go down half a size due to significant toe box dead space. Read the full review. Price: $110

Under Armour History
Under Armour was created because Plank, who played football at the University of Maryland, wanted to upgrade the practice gear to improve performance and comfort for the athletes. The first innovation Under Armour became known for was a T-shirt made with a moisture-wicking synthetic fabric to be worn under the player’s pads to keep athletes cool, dry, and light.
Since then, Under Armour has become one of the leading athletic footwear and apparel brands in the world and signed such athletes as Stephen Curry, Tom Brady, Joel Embiid and even celebrities like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
