Under Armour Curry 7 Review
Pros:
Traction is great and doesn't pick up dust
Very supportive low-top
Cons:
Materials are a little underwhelming
Performance of the Under Armour Curry 7:
Like with most Under Armour sneakers, the traction of the Curry 7 is outstanding and works on all courts.
The combination of Micro-G and HOVR cushioning is slightly disappointing as it is very firm and provides little impact protection - only recommended if you are looking for court feel and responsiveness.
The support features are pretty standard but their performance is top-notch, especially for a low-top sneaker.
Unfortunately, the materials used in the Curry 7 feel cheap and plasticky and not worthy for an expensive signature model, but they do get the job done.
Overall, the Curry 7 is a solid performer that works best for players looking for a responsive low-top with great traction.

The Under Armour Curry 7 is a beast on-court. Traction and support are awesome, materials work perfectly, and they fit me like a glove. Only the firm cushioning is slightly disappointing.

The performance of the Under Armour Curry 7 is really nice, especially if you are looking for a quick, minimal low-top shoe. But for $140, the materials and the cushion technology feels a little underwhelming.

The traction is outstanding and everything else is perfectly good. Under Armour really needs to share the secret to their rubber compound!

The Curry 7 is a solid all-around shoe with cushioning on the firmer side and some feedback/bounce.

I really enjoyed playing in the Curry 7. The traction was A tier and the materials great after some quick breaking in. The support was on point and I felt very quick in these! The cushion is somewhat lacking, but I actually enjoyed the experience and it felt extremely responsive! The Curry 7 is definitely worth the pickup!

This was my first pair of signature shoes from my favorite player of all time. Though its materials may be questionable, its the traction, support, durability and court feel I care most about. I'll certainly miss wearing this model.

The curry 7 is a shoe you either love or hate. The materials feel cheap and the traction was good except for super dusty courts! Wouldn’t recommend for a long season as they wouldn’t last

Very good shoe, holds up well on all fronts. More suited towards lighter and faster players. Traction is consistent, even on dust. Truly great shoe.

I have had these shoes for about 3 months and the traction pattern is gone. It's actually just flat.

The multidirectional herringbone traction pattern grips the floor quietly and doesn't require you to wipe no matter where you play.

Unfortunately, the cushion feels much like it does on every other Curry signature shoe — lackluster and firm.

The blend of HOVR and Micro-G is super stiff and gives you a lot of court feel. There is zero compression or bounce and impact protection is just okay.

The cushioning is super firm which is great if you are looking for court feel and responsiveness. But if you are looking for a soft and bouncy cushioning, this is not it!

The materials are one of the letdowns of the shoe. The mesh doesn't feel premium and the TPU overlays feel super "plasticky". For $140, I expected much better materials.

The internal heel counter, lateral outrigger, raised midsole, and overall fit combine for really nice support even if you don't wear an ankle brace like Steph Curry.

Some slight break-in time is needed but then you get a comfortable and nicely conforming fit.
