Third quarter, the shirt sticks to the skin and the shorts weigh on the thighs: it is for this moment that clothes Under Armour were designed. Quick-dry fabrics, basketball shorts Baseline and Zone Pro, HeatGear shirts, but also jackets, joggers and a wide range for kids.
Under Armour made a name for itself with close-fitting shirts that wick sweat away instead of absorbing it. This concept still applies to most items on the page, which are classified as multisport: the same shirt can be used for basketball, gym workouts, or running.
For the court, the brand offers various shorts. The Baseline is chosen based on inseam length, the Perimeter features a textured breathable fabric, and the Zone Pro line combines shorts and mesh tank tops. The reversible Zone jersey and the Courtside complete the training outfit.
Some items on the page belong to the Curry line, designed with Stephen Curry during his partnership with the brand. You’ll find mesh shorts, a waterproof jacket, and three-quarter leggings. These are full-fledged basketball clothing items, retaining the line's logo.
The technology names indicate the season of use. HeatGear refers to lightweight compression shirts and shorts, made for warmth and intense sessions. ColdGear includes thicker leggings and tops, useful under your outfit when the gym is cold. The Legend jackets and Unstoppable waterproof jackets cover journeys.
A good part of the catalog is made for young people. The Tech t-shirts and shorts, made from lightweight fabric, are suitable for both training and school. The Challenger Core shorts and the beanie and gloves set complete the outfit.
Other brands on the page Brands offer court outfits. The adidas textile includes jerseys from European clubs and match socks. At Joma, the Kansas sets are primarily for clubs. The Chinese brand Rigorer outfits Austin Reaves fans, and Spalding offers reversible shorts and team sweatshirts.
The right time is during the site's key events throughout the year: Black Friday textile, then Christmas textile, followed by the sales. Items that are ready to go quickly are on Shipped within 24 hours.
Yes, that's its purpose: it slips under the jersey to keep the muscles warm and wick away sweat. Choose one that fits close to the body without being tight enough to hinder breathing. In official matches, its colour often needs to match the outfit.
Sizes follow the American system, with three cuts: fitted, close to the body without compression, and loose. The cut is indicated on the label. For basketball shorts, the loose cut remains the most comfortable.
The inseam length is indicated in the Name of the model. A long inseam falls at the knee, as per current basketball style. A short inseam allows for more freedom of movement and suits players who love to run.
It's better to avoid it: heat can damage elastic fibres and reduce support. Wash inside out, on a low temperature, without fabric softener, then let it air dry. The fabric dries very quickly anyway.
The Curry items on the page are mostly cut for adults. For children, the Baseline shorts are available in junior versions, with the same use on the court. The age filter helps check what is available.
