Category Performance Ratings
10.0
Traction
Herringbone pattern same as Curry 8 on a Flow foam outsole with no rubber. Excellent grip on clean courts and strong hold on dusty floors.
8.0
Cushion
Full-length Flow foam, thinner and firmer than Curry 8. Very responsive with good court feel and energy return but limited impact protection.
7.3
Materials
Thin engineered upper with minimal overlays to save weight. Comfortable and light but materials feel cheap and may lack long-term durability.
8.0
Support
Midfoot strap that hooks into laces with a molded heel cup. Provides strong lateral containment and stable support for quick directional changes.
8.0
Fit
Runs true to length with a stretchy, roomy upper and effective strap lockdown. Comfortable overall but can loosen without strap tension.
50%
Outdoor
Same outsole as Curry 8 and held up better than expected. Fair outdoor durability despite no traditional rubber, but will wear faster on rough courts.
small
large
Sizing
Runs true to size for most players. Normal to wide footers should go TTS. Consider adjustments only if you have narrow feet.
narrow
wide
Width
Forefoot runs wider and materials stretch to accommodate wide feet. Midfoot can pinch depending on strap tension, so narrow feet may need tweaks.

Recommended for lighter guards quick wing players. As usual, great traction from UA, Flow does its job again. The cushion in these was surprisingly soft, completely opposite to what i expected and saw in other basketball Flow sneakers. Lockdown and support was just incredible. The midfoot band was a stroke of pure genius.Comfort wise these were great, but not the most breathable. Padded uppers don’t let the most air through. performance, coupled with price make the futr X a great option indoors.

These are great! Should work for most players, maybe more geared towards guards.

Featuring the exact same pattern as the Curry 8, the traction on the Flow FUTR X is great. It's beastly whether the court is clean or dusty.

The full-length Flow cushion is thinner than the Curry 8, so it is more firm. Impact protection isn't great, but the court feel and responsiveness are solid.

I had zero issues with the support in the shoe. The strap does actually add support to the midfoot area of the shoe.

The midfoot strap actually provides solid support because it hooks into the shoelaces.
