Under Armour brought the Clutchfit Drive back from the dead with the 3 this past month (performance review here), but one thing still missing from UA’s basketball lineup has been a performance woven/knit upper — until now. At least, we hope.
Pics were spotted on Instagram last night of a knitted upper on a Clutchfit Drive 3 Low, and it looks freaking fantastic. The knit is reinforced with small sections of clear fuse at the eyestay and toewrap. No word on whether this is an upcoming sneaker, legitimate sample, or even fake (we know a few fake Curry 3s are out there already), but if these are real, well, take my money now.
The upper looks to be the same knit from the Bandit 2 runner (review coming really soon) while the tooling is taken directly from the regular version of the CFD3 (and it works across all categories). If this is the case, this shoe could be one of the best performers we see this year, and 2016 has already been crazy for performers.
Again, these are leaked photos, so no word yet on price, release, or even if they are coming, but as always, stay tuned to WearTesters. When we know, you know.

it’s the knitfit drive 3 then, awesome!
clutch-knit drive 1. he he… 🙂
Cant be a clutchfit without a single piece of clutchfit upper.
Yeah. And its weird that the Clutchfit would be the one to receive the knit treatment and not the Curry 3. Wonder if it might just be a new model with the same tooling as the Clutchfit 3.
Not really, Curry wants more support than a knitted-upper would give(it’s also why he had the fuse overlay on the Curry 2, he likes that security), so it’s very logical he’d say no to a Knitted Curry 3.
The KnitFit Drive looks awesome by the way, ClutchFit has a very hash look, these are SMOOVE!!!
Didn’t really mean the base Curry 3. Our father I should say I would have thought they would do something longer adidas does with its boost line up. Mesh/synthetic and knit versions of the same shoe.
Well, the CFD2 had very little clutchfit technology so I don’t see why they can’t make a knit version of the CFD3 and still call it “The Clutchfit drive” if it has the same sillouhete. Who knows, just my thoughts
Crazy if confirmed to be true. Under Armour putting out an all black Curry 3 knit upper would be automated to my checkings account
The shoe with this knit upper looks ten times better than the basic version.
These things are so sexy…
The clutch fits were decent but these would be amazing. hopefully the release price will not be too high..
Aside from the knit that shoes is almost identical to the Curry 1 low with a different tongue.
