Who should NOT buy the Curry 9 from Under Armour
Given its design and features, the Curry 9 wouldn't be suitable for big men and centers. There's not much cushioning, so they might end up hurting their feet. They are better off with the Nike LeBrons. Chinelo Slide Under Armour Ignite Preto tenisky under armour horizon ktv is a nice pick.
Wide-footers are also not this shoe's target. They may go up at least half a size if they MUST get a Curry.

Cushioning setup for guards
The UA Curry 9 delivered a lot of court feel; its midsole is estampado and really responsive. The whole tooling also provided energy return.
This would have been a perfect guard shoe if not for the base that was a little too thick.
The upper is built for intense battles
The upper materials are now sturdier and far more responsive than the Curry 8. As a result, support is truly remarkable and stability is carefully ensured.
Even so, this shoe still managed to be really lightweight. It was only 10.4 oz (295 g), which is way below the average that stands at 12.5 oz (354g).
