Under Armour – ‘Big 10/ACC Challenge’ Player Exclusives

The ‘Big 10/ACC Challenge’ pack by Under Armour is comprised of the Charge BB, Spine Bionic, & Torch Low; the current premiere basketball sneakers from UA right now.  Featuring their proprietory Micro G foam cushioning, the gradient colorway comes from the combination of the two school’s uniform colors.

In the game, the majority of players on both teams laced up one of the three sneakers in this set with the Torch Low being the most popular though the Spine Bionic was a close second.  Note that some players opted out of these and stuck to their respective team color PE of the Torch.  The game ended with the score of 75-57 in favor of the University of Maryland Terps.

Something surprising to me is that this is the second time that a special-edition Charge BB was an option for the University of Maryland players yet they still haven’t been worn by a single member during gameplay.  My theory is the unique look of the sneaker is so far ahead of its time that it cannot be fully appreciated by most right now.

Take a look at all the Under Armour PEs that were laced up in the Northwestern/University of Maryland game last night as well as high-res shots of the sneakers made especially for the Big 10/ACC Challenge and let us know your thoughts in the comment box below.
