Wow, the first hoops shoe for this brand and it generated like ZERO hype/interest. What a shame. I def thought they would come harder on the debut.

There was a story in the Washington Post about Lance Stephenson's visit to Maryland, and how it included a side-trip to the UA headquarters. The quote from Lance Stephenson Sr. about the kicks was, well, less than complimentary.
"To be honest with you, we really don't care for the sneaker. The sneaker sucks."

UA needs to stick to socks and compression shorts. Pretty much everything else they put out is much worse than the competition - be it the moisture wicking t shirt (that Nike does better), or the new batch of running shoes (that NB wipes the floor with), they're just throwing logos on inferior products. They're garbage.
And the dude who wrote the first post here sounds like he's writing ad copy for the UA company.
And all of this is coming from a dude who LOVES Reebok product.
You don't know what you're talking about, so you should just stop. I DO agree about the Nike t-shirt being better, but that's it.
Well stated. Yeah, I think they are on the right path and am really curious to see what technologies AND marketing strategies they employ.Originally Posted by 1and12
Yup Saw these on DimeMag i think,
Anyway they have an And1 Quest type of look to them, mixed in with a little Payless Shaq Style ( Those grooves beneath the Heel )
I hope UA can further innovate or maybe change up their design a little, these are nice, but they're not even PROTEGE nice yet.
Materials look good.
UA is just starting out so I'll cut them some slack, they need an iconic design like how And1 captured our imaginations with the Tai Chi.
They've got a chance to be great, with Brandon Jennings, I think he has stand out talent, maybe in the long run he'll do what DWade did to Converse.
I understand your point. Their logo has become a brand name now so they do have the luxury of throwing a "UA" on inferior product. Ido think their cleats perform, but their runners/crosstrainers still are a few stages away from being in the same category of Nike/Asics/NB/adidas.Originally Posted by ZombieJesus12

That was my first thought, too - lolOriginally Posted by ZombieJesus12

Sheep. UA's compression and tech shirts are on par with Nike Dri-Fit. And the first generation of Nike Sparq footwear product is garbage.Originally Posted by IamSoySauce3
ZombieJesus is right.
UA = trash
I'm sick of seeing UA everywhere. Stuff is garbage. So called "heat gear" is a far second to Nike Dri Fit. I've been given UA shirts as gifts (would never spend my own money on it) and every one has made my skin itch.....I'm not exaggerating. Made it feel as if I just got a hair cut without wearing the apron.
As I watch the NFL Combine and see UA everywhere, they interviewed the CEO of UA. Talking about the new prototype combine shoe they have. The first thing I thought of was "Nike/Sparq came out with that prototype like 3 years ago."
Keep copying what Nike's already done.
Nike rules..........
Really nice PS BP. I'm liking that max-air design (if that second one is that). That one isOriginally Posted by BP the owner
haha, i was just working on that too.

He single-handedly made Converse relevant again in the basketball market, through his play and marketability, paving the way for other basketballplayers (although they are mostly role-players) to get signed with the Star and Chevron.Originally Posted by cowboybibby
