UA Curry 3Zero II 2 Performance Analysis and Review
by newtruckspring · October 15 Wholesale Rudy Gobert Jersey , 2018


Beauty is only skin 鈥檚 a good thing to remember about this shoe but also life in general.


Pros: traction, excellent fit, low to the ground yet balanced cushioning Wholesale Derrick Favors Jersey , fantastic stability, containment, lightweight


Cons: no heel counter so support relies almost solely on fit and stability of shoe (which is excellent) Wholesale Tony Bradley Jersey , unnecessarily ugly


Sizing Advice:聽true to size


Best for: guards who want full range of motion yet stable shoe


Buying advice: wait for a MyFitnessPal coupon or just wait and let me know when you see someone with these on. Guaranteed to hit discounts and outlets $60 is fair (what I paid) but should push $35-45 as bottom prices


Weight聽12.5 ounces which is very lightweight for a mid and one ounce lighter than the HOVR Havoc Low (review coming for those as well trying to work through some issues with them mainly heel slip)


Traction


Yes


This traction pattern is great and works well on all surfaces. Not the strongest bite but the trade off is infrequent wiping (insert poo joke)


Call me a creature of habit but I still think the Curry 5 traction is a little better due to a better bite and even less frequent wiping. However these are no slouch at all and are definitely one of the better patterns this year.


Well done UA!


Cushioning


Charged in the heel and Micro G? Sounds like a good retro UA mix and it is pretty decent but it doesn鈥檛 feel anything like Clutchfit drive 1 or older Micro G. It feels mostly like a thinned out Curry 3 but with less feedback since it rides lower (less cushioning). It rides around 20-22 mm in the forefoot like the Curry 4. If you want low to the ground but more than adequate impact protection, you鈥檒l really like these.


It is a very well balanced combo of court feel with a touch of bounce so I think a lot of players will enjoy the set up even if it isn鈥檛 Boosty or Zoom Air like. Could UA do better? Yep they have in the past but these do a good job overall. Just wish these had a little more fun factor but you get what you pay for. For what it鈥檚 worth I like this set up much better than the Havoc so far.


Fit


True to size so simple people!!


No dead space in the forefoot at all shoe just slips on and fits like a glove or sock or whatever you want to put on your feet.


It鈥檚 essentially a one piece upper with a slightly separated tongue but hugs the foot very nicely right out of the box. This is one of the best aspects of the 3Zero II


Well done UA!


Materials


Molded maxprene upper with zonal restriction engineered from within for maximum comfort & breathability -UA


Translation: Maxprene and mesh but mostly Maxprene. Maxprene feels like a stronger less stretchy version of neoprene and is very comfortable. If you could synthetic and neoprene had a baby together you鈥檇 probably get something like this.


No issues here


Support and stability


Support relies on the fit and the stability of the the shoe because there isn鈥檛 a heel counter at all. However, stability is聽OUTSTANDING聽for a number of reasons


First off the outsole is very wide and features a modified outriggerNo tippiness in the heel and it very wide heel to toe.


It鈥檚 one of those shoes that feels li split right in half to keep the lateral side down and flat no matter what you do. Other shoes that felt this stable to me include the Air Jordan 1 and Curry 2. Despite no heel counter I just felt safe playing in these.
