Under/Over

Under Armour definitely seems rooted and invested in the future. Their greatest appeal seems to be with the young hoopers of tomorrow. The success of Steph Curry and the Warriors have had a phenomenal impact on the youth. With Steph being the face of Under Armour, as you can imagine this has been great for the brand as well. But, what does this do for the older demographics? Is the appeal the same for them, or is there still more work to be done? The answer is the latter. This can be tied to a couple of things, and none of them are too crazy or off-putting. Some of it has to do with Steph and his play style too. Though exciting, some people who idolized the “Iso and Athleticism Era” don’t naturally flock to his game just based of preference. Another part is that Under Armour was not the household name during the time many of those people were heavily involved in basketball. The question is, how do they change the narrative for that older demographic?

The money in sneakers isn’t necessarily in their performance appeal. The style and casual wear is where the greatest impact to the market lies. Sneaker buyers in their twenties and above tend to lean towards and go with what influenced them at an early age. This is why I say the future is bright for Under Armour because they have a great grasp on a lot of young athletes at an early age. However, what about snagging those people in the now? Nostalgia plays a great part in the success of sneakers. We see brands making it the cornerstone of their strategies as a tried and true method. There is normally a face that is tied to the shoe that takes many of these people back to a moment in time that meant something to them. This creates a greater desire for some of the sneakers that are being released. That’s not necessarily a luxury UA has just yet. With Steph being their biggest face to date and still being relatively new, it’s going to be some time before he has those connections for people. He is definitely forging his moments in history and when it’s all said and done he will be viewed the same as some of those other legendary faces, but that’s in time. The same should go for his shoes. This is something that normally goes hand in hand and with the on-court performance, which means big things in the future. But, once again I am still saying future. Along with Steph UA has also enlisted Dennis Smith, Josh Jackson, Terrance Ferguson, and Will Barton. All younger names that have their best days ahead of them, so yet once again I am speaking out to what’s to come. So, what do we do for the very moment then?

The answer is actually pretty simple. Under Armour has actually struck gold with their player exclusives and unreleased colorways. Without having the nostalgia or themes rooted in older moments of careers, its back to the basics to create success. Arguably the most important factor in a sneaker may be the colorway, and there have been some colorways that have brought out the best in some of their models. My first example was the extremely limited “More Magic” Curry 4, the color blocking, patterns, and schemes on these showed the potential in the model. They were they early release to the Curry 4 and tough to get, so if you have a pair consider yourself lucky. The second example is the “UA Association” exclusives. There were six shoes that nearly everyone wanted, but unless you played in the UA Association league, you weren’t going to get your hands on a pair. The exclusives ranged in an Orange, Red, Yellow, Purple, Blue and Green, across two different silhouettes. The final example is the upcoming HOVR Havoc release, which we will be featuring closer to the launch. The shoe shows its actual potential in a colorway that may not be hitting retailers. The only way to describe the pair is as a “Sunburst” colorway, featuring a yellow-orange gradient and a mint green sole. It’s literally love at first sight with these shoes and there is no other way to say it. The key to putting themselves “Over” is in colorways and schemes like these. These can still be limited runs, but they need to be on the people’s feet and in their collections to make the greatest impact in the culture, the market, and for the brand.

Under Armour has a great roadmap ahead of them. What we’ll most likely see coming will be more quality things from them as brand, and they will greater improve on their market share. With that said, the process may be able to skip forward a few steps by expanding on some of the things they have kept close to the chest. The sneakers many of us love today became classics by having amazing colorways that were available to the people. This is something that will only help.

  7. 它讓神經原在常規的緊張鍛煉中進行共振燃燒，由此帶來健身運動所無法達到的效果。Ion Magnum複雜的振動波是基于於二十多年對神經原燃燒信號的研究手工製作的。 設備製造者的臨床研究結果顯示，30分鐘的治療相當於在健身房10個小時的運動，可以燃燒高達5000卡路里的熱量。其他臨床研究顯示肌肉生成的速度以及脂肪（表面脂肪以及深部脂肪）减少的速度相應都比運動的效果更好。對於Ion Magnum沒有進行理療的部位，甚至會有抗衰老防氧化的效果。 有受試者治療一次之後同一個部位减掉了3-4英寸（不像其他减肥治療中宣稱的那樣，一次治療减掉了5英寸，但那是全身20多個部位加起來减掉的尺寸）。同時，它還可以减掉脖子和下巴的脂肪，讓你的雙下巴消失 . 每次治療需要25分鐘。治療前後的效果非常明顯，而且會持續1-2天。要想達到更好的效果，最好接受1-2個小時的治療。

  27. Los Blancos, with captain Sergio Ramos suspended after deliberately collecting a yellow card in the first leg, had been looking to build on a slender 2-1 lead from that game in Amsterdam and stay on course for a potential fourth straight European triumph.

    However, after Raphael Varane’s header rattled the crossbar, Ajax raced into an early lead through Hakim Ziyech before Dusan Tadic set up David Neres for a second in the 18th minute.

    Real Madrid were forced into two changes when Lucas Vazquez and Vinicius Junior went off injured, with substitute Gareth Bale hitting the post just before half-time.

    Ajax looked to have put the tie to bed when Tadic swept in a brilliant third goal just after the hour – which was eventually given following an extensive Video Assistant Referee review to check if the ball had gone out of play in the build-up.

  30. Theresa May says she has secured “legally binding” changes to her Brexit deal, a day ahead of MPs voting on it.

    But European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker” warned if the deal was voted down there was “no third chance”.

  31. These three figures — William Rick Singer, Mark Riddell and Rudolph Meredith, respectively — are at the center of the nationwide scandal in which 33 parents are accused of using their wealth and means to help their children game the college admissions system.
    But those three names do not appear anywhere in the complaint text, though the document gives enough clues to make clear who is who. Instead, they are named as Cooperating Witness 1, 2 and 3, and each agreed to plead guilty and to cooperate with the government in the hope of obtaining leniency when they are sentenced, the complaint says.

  32. Trump was surrounded at Friday’s event by officials from Customs and Border Protection as well as surviving family members of those who have loved ones killed by undocumented immigrants. Attorney General William Barr was also at the President’s veto event.
    While some lawmakers — including some Republicans — have argued against the President’s use of national emergency powers in this instance, the Justice Department set forth a robust defense of the President’s authority to do so in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell earlier this month, according to a copy obtained by CNN on Friday.
    “The President acted well within his discretion in declaring a national emergency concerning the southern border,” wrote Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd, setting out the legal basis for the proclamation under the National Emergencies Act and additional statutory authorities, which largely tracks an internal memo issued by the Office of Legal Counsel at the Justice Department.

  37. Christina was born in the royal castle Tre Kronor on 18 December S. 8 December] 1626. Her parents were the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus and his German wife, Maria Eleonora, had already had two daughters—a stillborn princess in 1620, and then the first Princess Christina, who was born in 1623 and died the following year.3] Excited expectation surrounded Maria Eleonora’s third pregnancy in 1626. When the baby was born, it was first thought to be a boy as it was “hairy” and screamed “with a strong, hoarse voice.”she later wrote in her autobiography that, “Deep embarrassment spread among the women when they discovered their mistake.” The king, though, was very happy, stating, “She’ll be clever, she has made fools of us all!”6] From most accounts, Gustav Adolf appears to have been closely attached to his daughter, and she appears to have admired him greatly.

  38. A court has ruled that the building is illegal, and the €57 million ($64 million) Chateau Diter will now have to be knocked down.

  39. Despite residing in Germany for nearly 30 years, there are still some things I cannot wrap my mind around. I may have married a German, pay German taxes, and have German(-American) children, but I guess my US mentality still shines through.

    Like when it comes to personal space. I’ll be standing in the supermarket, in front of a shelf full of products, deliberating over the selection, and inevitably a hand will slip itself in front of my face and grab an item from the row. Many Germans seem to not have any qualms about this at all, but it still takes me aback sometimes.
