Under Armour Anatomix Spawn Low Review
Pros:
Phenomenal traction
Well-balanced Micro G cushioning
Cons:
Unnecessary dead space in the toe box
Performance of the Under Armour Anatomix Spawn Low:
The outstanding feature of the Anatomix Spawn Low is the soft and pliable traction pattern that bites the floor like crazy - even on dusty courts.
Another strong feature is the Micro-G cushioning that gives players a nice balance of impact protection and responsiveness.
Less praise is given to the materials which don't feel great in-hand but still get the job done and the fit which gave some reviewers problems in the forefoot.
Overall, the Under Armour Anatomix Spawn performs well in all categories and stands out with one of the best tractions in recent memory.

This is a solid, solid performer, especially at the price of $110. The traction is excellent, the cushioning is soft, and the materials are pretty nice and comfortable.

For $110 you really can't go wrong with the Anatomix Spawn Low. It doesn't have the big-name brand attached, and the looks might not be amazing, but the performance is top notch!

Even though this shoe has very little in common with its predecessors, it performs very well all around with excellent traction and a pretty good fit if you ignore the bubbles in the forefoot. I prefer these over the Curry 6 when it comes to performance.

I personally really liked these shoes. They gripped incredibly, and i quite literally never slipped. The cushion is nice and plush, yet reactive which is great for guards who want comfy cushion. The issue is with the way the upper is built. The materials bunch up in the forefoot and cause a pinching sensation that isn’t the nicest but wearing thick socks improved it. All in all, great shoes for indoor players who rarely go on outdoor courts.

The MicroG cushioning provides a lot of court feel in the forefoot and impact protection in the heel. It also doesn't bottom out which makes it very durable.
