The Under Armour ClutchFit Drive 2 emerged in August 2015 as a key player in the brand's expanding basketball footwear lineup. This model followed the original ClutchFit Drive, a shoe that had already garnered attention for its association with Stephen Curry. The ClutchFit Drive 2 was designed to build upon the momentum gained by its predecessor, furthering Under Armour's presence in the competitive performance basketball market and solidifying its position among elite athletic brands.
Engineered as high-performance basketball footwear, the ClutchFit Drive 2 is suitable for quick guards and provides ample support for forwards and centers alike. The Charged Cushioning midsole absorbs impact and converts it into responsive quickness. With a snug fit and a focus on court feel, the shoe is designed to enhance an athlete's performance on the basketball court, offering a balance of support, responsiveness, and control for various playing styles.
The Under Armour ClutchFit Drive 2 has seen its influence spread through the basketball community. Brandon Jennings, a well-known NBA player, was seen wearing this model during games. The ClutchFit Drive 2 was also part of the larger narrative surrounding Stephen Curry's rise. While not his primary on-court shoe, its release coincided with Curry's signature line. The ClutchFit Drive 2 contributed to the overall growth of Under Armour's basketball division.
The upper of the ClutchFit Drive 2 features the innovative UA ClutchFit™ technology, which wraps the foot in a lightweight 'second skin' for powerful support and exceptional feel. The design includes a 3D molded tongue, custom-fitting around the foot and ankle, for an enhanced fit. Furthering its performance capabilities, the shoe incorporates fuse overlays for added support and durability. A multi-directional herringbone outsole provides superior court feel and control.
