    Underarmour Making Shoes

    Have you guys seen these? Came out today. I am curious if you think people will jump on board and buy them because if they do, Under Armour's stock price will shoot through the roof.

    I personally don't think they are anything that special, however, Crocs performed ridiculously well.

    Throw down your two cents. Peace.

    they look decent, nothing amazing. I like UA stuff though so they might do well.

    They are suppose to be the first "training" shoes for athletes and not specifically geared towards runing. UA puts out good product in my opinion, just usually too pricey, but 90$ for a good pair of shoes is not too bad.

    Im not a big fan of their shoes even though I prolly own over 30 different types of there clothes and bags and stuff. they are by far the most comfortable clothes to workout it. Im a personal trainer so I live and work in the gym so Under Armour is all I wear, unless im going out

    No I actually hate Jim Cramer with a passion. He is almost always wrong. Is he pumping UA? I will have to dismiss it if he did.

    He is an entertainer. Period. How about his recommendation to buy Bear Stearns at $50 then two days later drops to $5 and he says nothing about it. Good luck if you follow him or any other CNBC moron.

    He makes mistakes, but he certainly has made many good recommendations...if only i had the money necessary to really invest in Intuitive Surgical when he recommended it, he mentioned it at about 150 a share and 4 weeks later it was at 285 a share

    I think they're pretty ugly and probably wouldn't buy them. I also hate the people who wear under armour to workout in. Wearing spandex anything is just not for me. Plus, it's called UNDER armour for a reason.

    not something That I would personally buy. I'll stick to my pumas and addidas. I really have no idea how these shoes will do, they may do alright because the namebrand will probably cary them.

    I'm no expert but I wouldn't invest in UA because of their shoes. I think it's 50/50 at best. The way I see it they have too much competition in that area, Nike, NB, Adidas, and several other big names to go up against.

    I bought a pair yesterday. They are pretty comfortable so far. I put in a different insole and thus far I like them. I bought them in Manhattan and the sales person told me they were flying off the shelves. I know I saw several people trying them on when I was in purchasing mine.

    As far as durability is concerned, the jury is still out on that one. For what I paid for them they are pretty equal to my Nike's.

    i agree, they look like all the rest... but i'm more interested in how they perform.
