I know my sneaker obsessed sons and loving their UA so I know it has street cred. When basketball playing black boys (mine) starting wearing UA, take it to the bank.

Well Steph Curry (Golden State Warriors) is currently a huge celebrity endorsement for Under Armour, and that is clearly paying off, as your example demonstrates.

And the Chef Curry 2 was ugly AF, but still sold out.

Lucky for me, then, that my OCD financed the purchase of a second home on the West coast. (FYI Steve Jobs was described as an OCD PITA, and that seems to have worked out quite well for Apple).

L.M.A.O.....did you really just compare yourself (and your second house)to Steve Jobs...?!?!

You can actually get made fun of.

my three boys all prefer NIKE, my youngest is a soccer player and wears Adidas a lot too. UA shoes are complete crap. I will buy their hoodies at TJ MAX/Marshalls but never full price. Oh and they don't get made fun of.

I've always loathed that brand.

We were in Oregon this summer. I saw a lot of Under Armour attire. I would have thought Oregon would have been heavy into Nike.

Not at all. In our Type-A, hyperdriven, super-competitive, high-achieving environment and cohort we often discount and look down upon people with OCD, ADD, Autism-spectrum, and other issues.

I am actually not OCD, but I am proud that you think so. And thus I am citing one of the most successful examples of OCD-driven women and men, and not the only one, to demonstrate that you should never underestimate or discriminate against a person you consider somehow "disabled". But go ahead and be a superior "jerk" who looks down on people who are differently-abled or otherwise-gifted than yourself.

There are a lot of successful OCD types in DC. I don't know why people always throw that term around as an insult. Be careful not to share your negative feelings and biases about OCD with your colleagues or your boss, as you may end up alienating more than a few of them.

Lots of interesting perspectives on UA in the comments section of the ESPN article linked above. Including one comment from a poster who just doesn't like their logo. I agree that the UA logo is underwhelming.

There are a lot of successful proffered Nike patrons in DC. I don't know why previous posters are so ignorant as to assume the top-selling athletic footwear brand is unpopular. Be careful not to share your negative feelings and biases about Nike with your colleagues or your boss, as you may end up looking down one casual Friday and see what they're wearing and end up putting your precious Under Armored foot in your mouth.

Whatever you say, OP

[Anonymous]

Calm down OP. UA isn't going to come for you.

Assumptions, assumptions. That second-to-last comment (before this post, of course) was not from the op.
