Overall:

Under Armour has re-created the CURRY 4 with UA FLOW technology, combining the unique vamp with the Flow cushion technology. It’s a very good news for the fans of CURRY 4. It’s supported by the championship, it’s worthy to collect.

The size is half size smaller than standard size. The width of forefoot is moderate. The brand-new UA IntelliKnit shoe-collar is comfortable. But it’s not very suitable for person who has wide foot and high instep. We suggest you to have a try on physical store. The UA Flow insole has good resilience and cushion performance, and it reduces the overall weight of the shoes.

UA Flow technology is more suitable for playing basketball on indoor court. It’s better not to wear it to play the basketball on outdoor court.
