Under Armour Sneakers
Under Armour started in 1996 with one idea: a shirt that wicks away sweat. Today, it’s an American performance brand with a growing sneaker range, and on Solezilla you can compare every model across dozens of shops.
About Under Armour
Under Armour was founded in 1996 by Kevin Plank, then a 24-year-old former University of Maryland football player. He was frustrated by the sweat-soaked cotton shirts worn under his uniform and developed a close-fitting T-shirt made from moisture-wicking synthetic material—the foundation of the later HeatGear and ColdGear lines. From that compression shirt, initially sold from his grandmother’s basement, Under Armour grew into one of America’s leading sports brands, headquartered in Baltimore. In the years that followed, the brand expanded into footwear, with performance models for running, training and basketball, including the signature line associated with NBA star Stephen Curry. The design language is distinctly sporty and technical, focused on cushioning, grip and support. Prices vary widely by model and retailer. On Solezilla, you can compare the full Under Armour range from dozens of shops, so you can see the best price in your size at a glance.
