I read that they signed him up out of college for four years, ripped it up in January, and re-upped for ten years. Guess that paid off by now.

I doubt they get into equipment, but they are going after the shoe market now, so who knows?

Under Armour is expanding their shoe brand across the board. Their running shoes are pretty legit. Hunting boots are of decent quality. Several articles available about their push to get into the shoe market.

The spikes they put out for Jordan for the tourney sold out online instantly. I'd try out a pair, I've tried their running shoes.

I'll say that their apparel has increased in quality. I've got a bunch of their running gear and its good stuff. Its no more expensive than off the rack Nike stuff, and there are always deals to be had.

Could see them doing a partnership like Adidas & Taylormade or Puma & Cobra.
Also, UnderArmor is only 20 years old, no telling what they can do in the next 5-10.
