Under Armour Curry 6 Review
Pros:
Extremely stable shoe
Very lightweight
Cons:
Durability issues of the outsole
Lace pressure
Performance of the Under Armour Curry 6:
The Curry 6 is much better received by sneaker reviewers than its predecessor.
The traction performs very well but showed some durability issues early on.
The full-length HOVR cushioning is on the firmer side and offers a nice balance of impact protection and court feel.
The knitted materials look great and need very little break-in time.
Stability and support are excellent like always in Curry models.
Overall, reviewers are having a lot of fun with this shoe and rank it as one of the best Curry signature shoes so far!

The Curry 6 is a really fun performer that has everything I want from a basketball shoe: amazing cushion, amazing fit, and while the traction is not quite on Curry 2 level, it is still pretty nice! The durability of the rubber on my pair was an issue though...

I really enjoy playing in the Curry 6. The cushioning is pretty nice, the traction, fit, support and the minimal upper are really fun. The only problem is the durability of my pair - let's hope the glue work is better on future colorways!

The Curry 6 looks good, has great traction and is very stable, but the constant lace pressure, bad heel fit, and a really dumb outsole design make these far from perfect.

The Under Armour Curry 6 is an amazing shoe for all guards. It is very light and responsive, and it has unbelievable court feel. The traction is amazing, and it is good on dust too! The traction works in all directions. The cushion was pretty good, and it was very responsive with great impact protection. The support was great, and I was locked in! The materials are amazing, and it was very breathable and thin! The durability had some issues, but that was about it. Everything else was phenomenal!

The shoe has ok comfortability and is ok for its price. It doesn't boast any special tech like a massive airsole or anything, but it makes sense as Curry's play style is very shooting-based and not above the rim much. Material feels somewhat thin and has ok durability. 8.0/10.

The Curry 6 is a great shoe. The traction was phenomenal! The cushion in my pair was rock solid and I didn’t enjoy it as much as I wished. However the rest of the shoe checks off all the necessary categories! The Curry 6 is definitely a win!!!

Performance is super nice on clean courts - you will stick like glue! Minimal wiping on dusty courts. Durability is bad though - on the second day the rubber started to separate from the midsole. Let's hope that's just a defect of this colorway.
