UA CURRY 2 & 2.5

motoyuki · Feb 21, 2016

Anyone who has played in both a solid outsole and translucent outsole on the curry 2 notice any difference in traction?

Is the elites really backirdered on eastbay or is that just a misprint?

It says that, but I think it's a bluff. When I ordered on 2/15, it said they were back ordered until 3/11. On 2/19 I received my shipping confirmation.

Theres no significance in terms of traction because the design of the grooves are exactly the same.

You only need to worry about brushing off the dust if you are playing on a dirty floor but other than that you are good to go on both.

I feel like (i could be wrong) the rubber on the solid soles are more durable though so if you're gonna play outside, try not to use the elites or the allstars if you can help it.

of course the design on the translucent sole is nice and i dont want to ruin those, so i could be bias.

I own the S&T and the AS

How well are the Currys selling? Seems like there's plenty on UA. Are they just making more? Just seems like the Ones were selling out.

They didn't make that many 1's, there's much more 2's.

Thanks. That's what I figured. Glad too. More people can eat and I can pick up other releases and double back. These all stars are calling me.

glassankles · Feb 21, 2016

there are plenty of released colorways but none that i like yoooo cmon UA!

jamespatrick · Feb 21, 2016

I've seen a good amount of 2's on people's feet, much more than I did with the 1's. With Curry doing what he's doing people are buying them.

And the other way around for the Clutchfit Drive 1 vs 2.

Then you are the pickiest person ever. They have literally released a color combo with EVERY color somehow, someway incorporated. Maybe you just DON'T LIKE THE SHOE???

Yea, the CF2s look terrible. I have the 1s but haven't had a chance to ball in them yet. Just walking around in them they feel like they would be great performers.

Do you have a picture of the yellow/blue lightning pairs? The only yellow and blue colorway I can think of is the aways.

To each their own, I guess. This is one of 2 colorways that I actually like.

I'm with you on that. First pair i really wanted was the ASGs.

I hate the toebox quality. 1st use and it got chipped and the front rubber side wall had a slight separation. Just 1 use!

do they have the same warranty as Nike?

Like within 2 years of the manufacturing date, if the shoe gets damaged through normal use and the integrity of it is compromised, they send you a voucher...

UA's CS has been pretty solid for me so I would guess that they'd take care of it if there is actual separation going on

I dig the overall look of the shoe but All Stars and Elites are the 2 colors I actually bought. Can wear them with pretty much anything.

It was a cool article on Sole Collector where they asked him a few questions during All-Star Weekend. They told him about some opinions on his shoes not being that versatile off-court for casual appeal. He basically said they took notice and the Curry 3 will be the beginning of them making it with a more casual appeal. They are going to use more materials that aren't necessarily basketball specific. I'm hoping some real leather and suede, but we will see.
