Under Armour Drive 4 Review
Pros:
Fair price
Amazing traction
Cons:
Cushioning is very firm
Heel cup lacks padding
Performance of the Under Armour Drive 4:
The strongest point of the Under Armour Drive 4 is clearly its traction. The thick and aggressive herringbone pattern works on every surface - even outdoors. The Micro-G cushioning in the heel is nice, but the forefoot feels pretty much dead. The materials are very low-key and some reviewers mentioned a slightly painful break-in period. Overall, this is a solid shoe that outperforms its budget pricing and will work for every style of player - especially if you have wide feet!

A budget model that performs like a top-tier model. Traction is amazing, the cushion is okay, materials are really nice and they fit me very well. I think this is one of the best-performing Under Armour shoes out right now!

This shoe is for the every day, every position player and it is a solid performer. If you require more cushion like myself, then you may have to look elsewhere.

The Under Armour Drive 4 is a solid hoops shoe for a low-budget price. I like them more than the Steph Curry 3 Zero. They feel lighter, are more flexible and the traction is on point. The cushioning is not a strong point but is still fairly good.

The Drive 4 has some things going for it (traction) and then there are some things that need work (fit and materials). If you’re someone who plays low to the ground, prefers a stable ride and has a wide foot, these are going to be great for you.

Herringbone pattern is so good for outdoor use. Traction is amazing but cushion is hard especially forefoot. Good for wide footers. It is not fit to me.

The rubber compound could’ve been a little tackier but that didn’t keep these from working on virtually every floor condition you can think of.

The cushioning is super stiff and very responsive. Impact protection is solid, but not made for big and heavy guys.

Under Armour could’ve and should’ve used full-length MicroG, but instead it only used it in the heel.

Nothing that makes the shoe unplayable. There are just better options if fit is your number one priority.

The shoe fits decent, even for a wide-footer like myself, but I just didn’t feel as secure as I’d have liked — even when laced super tight.

There was a ton of dead space towards the front of the shoe and I just couldn’t get the materials to snap to the front of my foot the way I wanted them to.

Wide-footers listen up, you should seriously consider putting these on your radar because a wide fit like this doesn’t come around very often.
