When the Maryland Terrapins took the floor this past week at the Lahaina Civic Center in Hawaii for the Maui Invitational Tournament, five of the team’s players were wearing the Micro G Fly Mid, an entirely new model from Under Armour Basketball. While other brands annually outfit their teams in floral patterned shoes for the Hawaiian tournament each fall, Under Armour, known for their brashness and intensity, created a tribal “Terraprint” that is applied in matte anodized fashion.
Equipped with a one piece forefoot support overlay that extends into the heel, the shoe is also accented by a molded anodized sythentic along the collar, featuring sizable perfs for added breathability. Along with the added contouring at the collar, the shoe also incorporates a mesh inner sleeve for improved fit. The pictured away black/white/red/gold and home white/black/red/gold colorways will remain a Terrapin team exclusive for the time being.
The rest of the Terrapins squad, as well as all Under Armour sponsored teams, will begin wearing the Micro G Fly Mid in January. Brandon Jennings, who has worn multiple versions of the Prototype, will likely wear his PE versions in the coming weeks. Be sure to also check back on Tuesday for a full break-down of Micro G cushioning, Under Armour’s new lightweight foam compound that we’ll be seeing in their basketball offerings.
