The Under Armour UA Charge Basketball High-top Shoe looks a tad ridiculous, which means it will probably be a smashing success. I guess I am getting old as I can’t wrap my mind around today’s crazy shoe designs. Reminds me of the back to the future shoe.
The UA Charge manages to offer the flexibility and feel of a low-top shoe while protecting the ankle with an articulating high-top. All of this shoe and only 13.8 ounces.
- Two-piece upper works with your anatomy to articulate around the ankle for the ultimate locked down fit without losing flexibility
- HeatGear materials are breathable and wick sweat to keep your foot cool, light, and dry in these men’s basketball shoes
- Perforated synthetic overlays add support and stability where you need it
- Strategically placed foam pods in heel and tongue adds comfort in key contact points
- Low, light, full-length Micro G foam cushions as well as any traditional, bulkier foam, and also rebounds your heel-strike energy for a quick re-launch
- Large midfoot TPU shank prevents foot from twisting and rolling from side to side
- Molded Micro G sockliner provides a responsive, cushioned ride
- Clear rubber outsole is cored out to be lighter without sacrificing durability
- Traction pods are right where your foot needs them for sure-footed lateral and linear movement
