Under Armour UA Curry 8 NM Team Basketball Shoes

Product Information

Unless you’re Steph Curry and playing in the NBA 82+ games per year with constant battles with injuries lol. This is an outdoor shoe that’s quick to break in, comfortable, and extremely flexible thanks to the pliable synthetic construction. With silhouettes that grab attention and points on the court, Stephen Curry shoes are a must-have in any well-edited footwear collection.

The Curry "Flow" 8 is the first signature shoe released under the new "Curry" brand and they get off to a good start! The aesthetics were also enjoyable for me, with the sleek, slim design and showcasing the new Curry brand logo.Fitted with Under Armour’s lightweight and innovative support layers, you can enjoy performance-enhancing wear across all activities. Once you’re fully cleared and don’t feel that the ankle’s bothering you anymore, I’d stay away from regular use of braces.

Where some lightweight options are much too stuffy for long games, the Curry 8 comes with high-end ventilation that will keep you cool even in the hottest of environments. I’m not seeing any damage yet but it only makes sense to think a knit with no real extra structure isn’t going to last as long as leather, nubuck, suede, or even a more structured synthetic would. All in all though, the Curry 8 is a very mobile, comfortable shoe that doesn’t put a lot of focus on providing all-around, structured support.The Flow technology utilized is not maximal by any means but gets the job done in terms of impact protection and feels to be full length, which makes for a rather enjoyable experience. A handful of lines of the pattern are completely burnt off but fortunately, I don’t feel affected by this.

This particular rendition draws inspiration from his mother Sonya Curry’s dedication to becoming an educator and was made to pay homage to Teacher Appreciation Week. The new Flow cushion is a joy to play in and gives a nice low-to-the-ground feel for a great responsive experience!

Boasting slick knit uppers and vibrant colourways, they double as a lifestyle shoe to easily take you from the court to the cafe. The upper’s a lightweight knit with minimal reinforcements so while it’s very comfortable and efficient, it might not last as long. If you’re someone who plays well in the open court or who makes their money on hard drives, they will give you what you need. Since launching back in November 2020, Curry Brand has rolled out several footwear offerings at a steady pace, many of which have gone into depth with storytelling by nodding to Black History Month, Steph’s love for Dub Nation and support for local artists. There have been a few experiments with foam-based builds before but this one is surely the first highly-successful one that just felt right the second I started moving around.

But for guys at the frontcourt, heavier players, or anyone who plays with a lot of athleticism, there are better options out there.You know, those bouncy, rough surface courts that aren’t as unforgiving as concrete but still harder than indoor hardwood. The heel area compresses a little bit but never too much, so you’re just as fast as you’d be on any other Curry.

I completely agree with you on the gold accents, I think this colorway is undeniably the most beautiful and elegant. Both of those features work beautifully together, allowing you to start and stop no matter how fast you’re running.
