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.

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.
I don't agree with him, but are you defending UA's running shoes? Unless they have GREATLY improved upon the samples, the tech isn't there...the look is straight, tho.
He is right on the running end, tho. New Balance blows them out of the water. Whether you are looking at Zip, 859's, 1025's, ect...
Their trainers are doing well, but look very, very cheap.

Well stated. Yeah, I think they are on the right path and am really curious to see what technologies AND marketing strategies they employ.
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.
Oh, and when it comes to performance runners....Asics > New Balance (and I'm a NB fan too).
That was my first thought, too - lol
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.
Trust me there is a lot of Nike product out there that doesn't deserve a Swoosh. Quality control FTL.

For those who think UA is garbage.... is sure isnt' garbage enough for Nike to fear its existence and basically mimic everything US has done as far asPerformance apparel. Sure they have a ways to go for Footwear...but if there were a Swoosh on this Shoe, there would be MORE sheep than you know what to do...
If there was one Photoshopped on it and placed in the Nike forum how many people do you thiink would chant COPPED!!!???
Right...
FOHWTS lololol

Thanks Fellas.... I put it up in the Nike forum... Arrf.. I got you on the credit.. I wanna see how this plays out.
Even though there will be some folks who poo poo it.
I myself would have put the UA logo in a Shield and Not Tilted it... but stood it straight up and down and made it smaller so the design could stand on itsown.

Really nice PS BP. I'm liking that max-air design (if that second one is that). That one is
That first PS arf23 did kinda makes me think of the 2k3's for some reason; the only part that throws them off isthe midsole.
Only reason I came back to this thread was because of the Nike one

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.
Although i am extremely turned off by the WADE 5,4 and 2 his other shoes are pretty solid to me, so hopefully BJ can make a dent or something in the marketthrough his flashy plays and streetball-esque disregard to caring about one's turnovers.

I think some competition would be very good for the entire footwear market.
Right now, Nike is looking real fat right now sitting on its stacks of money. I wasn't there, but back in the 80s and 90s, Nike's R&D was probablyburning as fast as its can to get the "right" shoe that would and did captivate the market.
Looking forward to more UA shoes... however they OD way too much with their symbol.
