Under Armour Curry 12

The Curry 12 represents the performance sweet spot for serious recreational and competitive basketball — not the $200+ top tier, but a legitimate performance shoe that outperforms similarly-priced competition. The UA Flow cushioning provides excellent impact absorption and traction in a single unit (no outsole rubber = the foam is the outsole). The result is surprisingly lightweight while maintaining the court feel that outdoor-tested UA Flow foams provide. The court traction from the UA Flow outsole is exceptional on clean surfaces. Stephen Curry is a 3-point specialist who needs quick releases — the shoe reflects that with responsive forefoot cushioning and low-profile fit.
