Under Armour Curry 12 Review
Pros:
Upgraded dual-density Flow foam cushioning
Flow outsole remains elite
Cons:
Dust affects performance
Not much innovation
Performance of the Under Armour Curry 12:
The Curry 12 only makes minor changes compared to the previous model.
If it's not broken, don't fix it. Flow foam is still an elite traction setup, especially on clean courts. Just make sure to wipe any dust pickup off the outsole.
The dual-density Flow foam midsole is tweaked slightly this year. It feels a bit softer, but it's still firm. The setup provides responsiveness and a solid court feel.
Materials are mostly an engineered mesh. The upper is comfortable and flexible right out of the box.
Support and lockdown are impressive. The upper is supportive, and the shank plate provides plenty of torsional rigidity.
The Curry 12 performance improves slightly thanks to the minor changes to the shoe's materials and cushioning.

The outsole pattern is the same as the 11. The performance grabs the floor almost too well. Make sure to wipe the outsole when playing on dust.

The Flow foam traction is what you expect from Flow. It has an insane bite on clean courts, but the outsole suffers when playing on dust.
