Under Armour UA Curry 8 NM Team Basketball Shoes

Product Information

I’m a long time basketball player with over twenty five years of experience playing the game. Those years on the court have led me to wear many different types and styles of shoes. The traction and cushion both worked excellent straight out of the box, but it took a few wears for the upper knit to loosen up after slightly constricting my foot just a bit too tightly. This was not a big pain point but was just a small discomfort noticeable in the early days. I would recommend the Curry 8 solely for indoor play, due to the thinner grooves used on the outsole. The shoe will still play well outdoors but the soft outsole used will rub away very rapidly and then lessen the effectiveness of the traction when then used indoors. Breathability is commendable The Curry 8 is a very interesting shoe, to say the least. If you’ve always appreciated a Curry shoe before and would like something a little more comfortable – this is a Curry shoe on steroids. I’ll leave it for you to decide if that’s your thing!

It also comes with some of the best cushion and impact protection on the market. Like the Curry 8, it’s a purely indoor option. However, if you’re someone who spends their time playing or practicing in the gym it will provide you with a lighter, more comfortable shoe. Read my detailed Dame 7 review for more information. 3.

FAQs

Ultimately, the Curry 8 is a well-rounded shoe that delivers protection, versatility, and support without getting in the way. It’s a streamlined shoe that puts a large emphasis on protection, but does so while remaining lightweight. That makes it useful for high-flyers who like to jump. Another excellent guard option, the Dame 7 is a lightweight shoe that’s responsive, springy, and feels great on all courts. Though the support isn’t as well-rounded as the Curry 8, it still delivers a lot of mobility thanks to the open design and sleek, low-profile construction. And two, it does all that significantly more comfortably than the rest of the Curry sneaker lineup. More impact protection this time and, although minimal, but a slight bounce feel underfoot.

Harness the power of Steph Curry shoes and lead the game

The upper of the Curry uses a knit build that has very solid ventilation. In multiple active 2-hour shoot around my foot never felt noticeably hot and there was also never noticeable sweat buildup that I sometimes experience when wearing other shoes. If I have one big gripe with the Curry 8 it’s the impact protection. The shoes have a solid amount of cushion and their fit is nice. However, you’re definitely going to feel it when you come down hard. They seem more suited at giving you lift during runs than jumping.
