The 'Gum Wall' PE, a vibrant expression, draws inspiration directly from Seattle's iconic Gum Wall, a landmark of collective expression. This design pays homage to Kelsey Plum's collegiate roots, specifically her time with the Washington Huskies, embedding a personal narrative into the shoe's very essence. The release of this shoe marks a significant moment, representing Plum's influence and Under Armour's dedication to athlete-focused design, and is the second player-exclusive colorway available to the public in the season.
Designed with the demands of performance basketball in mind, the Flow Breakthru 5 'Gum Wall' PE is engineered for the modern athlete. The UA Flow cushioning technology provides insane grip and responsiveness, empowering quick cuts and agile movements. It is built specifically for women's feet, offering an optimal fit, support, and flexibility, making it an essential tool for the serious player. Its mid-top design, coupled with a bootie construction, ensures a secure and comfortable fit during intense gameplay, maximizing both performance and comfort.
Kelsey Plum, the WNBA star, immediately elevated the shoe's status, wearing them in multiple games. In Seattle on August 1, 2025, Plum debuted the 'Gum Wall' PE. Further appearances in WNBA games throughout August and September 2025, showcased the shoe’s integration into professional basketball. The shoe has become a symbol of dedication and skill, and has quickly become a sought-after item among fans.
The upper is meticulously crafted from breathable UA IntelliKnit, complemented by synthetic leather overlays, ensuring a superior fit and enhanced security. A bootie design further elevates the comfort and support, a testament to its female-specific engineering. The inclusion of materials such as engineered mesh and perforated leather demonstrates a commitment to both performance and aesthetic appeal, providing a fusion of form and function. The midsole, featuring UA Flow cushioning, offers a super-light, bouncy feel, while the durable outsole with a herringbone traction pattern ensures optimal court feel.
