Its weight sits in the same comparable range as the popular Nike KD/ Nike Kyrie/ Jordan releases. The low weight is another factor that contributes to its appropriateness for guard usage. The Under Armour Curry 8 weighs 12.2oz/346g, on the light end for basketball shoes (average weight is 13.6oz/387g), which is what I expected given the previous history of the Curry line and his playstyle. This was not a big pain point but was just a small discomfort noticeable in the early days. 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. I appreciated the fact that the traction both had a small amount of soft cushy feeling as well as feeling stable and low to the ground.

The Flow technology utilized is not maximal by any means but gets the job done in terms of impact protection and feels to be full length, which makes for a rather enjoyable experience. The cushion on the Curry 8 was a noticeable, even ride. I felt the rare complete and utter ability to stop on a dime as I pleased, with no slippage noticed at all, and mind you this was on a relatively dirty floor! Traction is almost always a top criterion for all basketball players, and it was an incredible revelation to see the Curry 8 hit a home run in this area. I tested the shoe in both a few indoor men’s leagues games as well as some outside shootarounds and the traction is with no exaggeration, all-time great traction. This was not a problem for me as I enjoy a close fit on my basketball shoes but for those who prefer a bit of extra space, I’d recommend going up a half size. I went true to size for my Curry 8 and it was the correct choice, although the shoe did play tight and noticeably hugged my foot. needs maximal cushioning and ankle support.Who should NOT buy itĭo not buy this shoe if you are a burly interior player who: Your browser does not support the video tag.ĭo buy the Curry 8 if you are a quick-footed guard who plays with shiftiness and speed.
