Under Armour Curry 1 Lux Mid Basketball Shoe
A combination of technologies that create an incredible experience for the games most dynamic player: Stephen Curry.
Lightweight Upper
Helping you glide past opponents, the upper of the shoe is constructed with an extremely lightweight material. This will reduce the amount of drag on the feet, which will leave you feeling lightfooted. The material on the upper of the shoe allows a steady airflow in and out, which means that as you become more active, the build-up of warm air and sweat is able to escape, being replaced by cool air from outside of the shoe. For firm support and extended stability, there is a bootie construction which runs up to the ankle. This will keep your feet held in a strong and upright position, giving you strength as well as reducing the risk of injuries from occurring. Covering the toes, the material is thicker, which will protect it from any bumps and knocks that you may pick up. A toe wrap surrounding the forefoot increases the flexibility of the shoe. Up the foot laces will make finding a secure and comfortable fit easy to achieve. The durable lace loops will allow you to tighten the shoe without worrying about causing damage. A soft padded tongue accompanied by the ankle collar will reduce the risk of irritation from chafing and rubbing against the foot.
Charged Cushioning
Exceptional cushioning is delivered thanks to the Charged Midsole. The midsole works to combine areas of cushioning and support to comfortably absorb impact, meaning whenever you land the risk of injury is reduced as the shock is absorbed and gradual wear and tear on the joints is diminished. A meta-wing plate provides locked-in stability through the heel, arch, and forefoot; acting as a stabiliser to assist the foot in transitions of forwarding motion. Additionally, anafoam delivers a body-mapped fit by providing lightweight structure and support when you need it the most.
Contoured Outsole
Optimal grip and traction on court is provided by the multi-directional herringbone outsole, giving you the confidence to make sharp, aggressive movements typically associated with a high octane sport like basketball. A herringbone traction pattern is located throughout the outsole and ensures a full, unrestricted range of motion in all directions. Lastly, a midfoot shank helps maintain torsional rigidity.
