looks nice. thick soles? I usually don't like runningshoes because the heel is so high.

edit: didn't read
Quote
The midsole is lined with UA's revolutionary low-profile and lightweight Micro G Foam. Micro G is lighter than traditional cushioning foams, so that you move faster; lower than traditional foams, so that you're closer to the ground; bouncier than traditional foams, so that you rebound better; and stronger than traditional foams for more protection underfoot. A carbon spring plate has also been employed for maximum energy return.


nice

As a Baltimorean, I can tell you that it is true. Under Armour is headquartered in Baltimore. And TONS of NFL players wear under armour shoes, including Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs.

If professional athletes who are being paid millions of dollars are wearing them, then it's safe to say that the shoes are top notch.

Heat stuff? I don't know man, sounds like they are just trying to sell clothes by putting some unique spin on it (heat stuff) or something.

You might, Adidas has a new Basketball shoe that is around 9.8 oz. if that. So, I gather that the new UA Charge RC's will be lighter than that.
