Under Armour ICON Curry 6 REVIEW – Traction FIXED?
It didn’t take too long for Under Armour to come up with the fix that pretty much saves their main signature line’s legacy.
This is going to be just a quick revisit review in which I will only cover up the traction segment. To see the in-depth performance review of the UA Curry 6 just simply press on the highlighted text.

PERFORMANCE
TRACTION
Long story short, Under Armour made a major mistake in one of the production phases making the Curry 6 that resulted in a shoe literally losing pieces of outsole after a few days of use. Crazy stuff… UA had to react fast, and they did.
So basically what they did was releasing the ICON Curry 6, which is a basic version of the shoe that you can customize throughout UA’s ICON platform. Turns out, the ICON Curry 6 comes with a solid outsole instead of the one with cutouts for exposed HOVR on a non-customizable version. No more unnecessary edges for the rubber to peel off like an orange. Just pure rubber throughout the whole midsole (except a small area in the heel that didn’t cause any problems) – the way they should have made it from the start.
I do not own a pair of the ICON Curry 6 myself. But based on positive customer reviews and a few legit sources to go along with, I can happily state that the traction of the Curry 6 is fixed. However, you will need to drop extra 30$ of the retail price which puts the ICON 6 at 160$. That leaves the shoe entering a premium price range. In exchange, you’re getting the chance to mess around with the design and create a custom colorway of yours, and you’re receiving an updated outsole.
So what’re your thoughts? Is it all worth it? Or this is going to be a pass for you this year? Let me know!
