I was expecting great things from the traction as it reminds me a lot of the Nike Kobe 9traction pattern. Unfortunately, my experience wasn’t quite at that Kobe 9 level of grip. Granted, I set these up for failure by putting them up against what I consider to be one of the greatest tractions of all-time, but, alas, the Embiid 1 still held its own o...
Full length Micro G and a HOVR heel puck are in place for cushion. The last time we saw Micro G and HOVR together was in the UA Curry 7— and I was excited as hell to try it out. Like most Curry models, the cushion left a lot to be desired, which I felt was a major letdown. The marketing of the combination of the two cushioning systems raised my ant...

Your foot can, and likely wi...
I felt the support was solid. Under Armour has done well in the support category over the years and the UA Embiid 1 is no exception. The base is fairly wide, but does offer a slightly rounded edge for players that may be a bit shifty. There is a midfoot shank along with a sturdy midsole build that cups the foot in the rear. Add in the lockdown wing...
Overall, Under Armour did a very good job with the Embiid 1. Traction and cushion are standout features, while the lockdown wings offer that extra layer of protection to keep you snug and secure on the footbed. Materials could be a bit nicer for a signature shoe, but the performance was there. Functionally, I can’t complain too much. If you were lo...
