I've had these for soo many years now and were by far some of the best shorts I've owned, but after finally tracking down what I think was the style (stretch woven) it looks like even 5 years ago these were hard to find. Anyone remember these and/or have any styles that they feel are similar? I loved the thicker elastic waistband. Based in US, but found this screenshot online
Back in like 2014-2018 everybody wore Under Armour. The cold gear hoodies, compression shirts, Curry shoes, gym clothes — it was everywhere. Now it kinda feels like Nike and Adidas completely took back over and UA just disappeared from the conversation.
Not even saying their stuff is bad either. Some of their workout gear is still solid. But the brand just doesn’t feel hyped anymore. Feels more like something dads wear to the gym now instead of an actual culture brand.
Did they mess up with marketing? Designs? Pricing? Or am I just not seeing people wear it anymore because trends changed?
Mohamed was brought in as a big time financial slugger to understand the macroeconomic environment and experience in C-suite roles at Allianz (which under his tenure didn't do much) as well as daily bloomberg blogs and face time on CNBC.
At what point do shareholders reach a point to ask the question. What value does he bring to the company ? What type of financial assets is he aware of shareholders don't that might benefit internally while the company looks to be in bad standings.
Personally, if I'm hired to the board of a company and it's struggling and getting booted from indexes then I wouldn't have the audacity to show up on CNBC and talk economics and think people would take me seriously.
I'm baffled a bit. While UA superstars are getting the axe by performing and costing too much, how are the C-suite board directors not getting asked the same question. Maybe he delivers amazing value but we dont hear about it.
The whole earnings call was attributed to bad macroeconomics. You're telling me Mo's specialty couldn't help mitigate or help mitigate this in the future.
People are buying this gear to get over hardships whether it be family loss, getting laid off. The gear helps provide a lot of people re center themselves to come back better. And this guy seems to be collecting a paycheck to add to his enormous wealth while the company he is supposed to be guiding and helping sits there struggling. And it's not from the gear or clothing. It's directly pinned on brands decision. Just curious about the value and maybe some KPIs to show he is meeting his goals.
Varvatos wasn't bringing value and he bowed out. Maybe it's time to look at others at the high strategic level.
Under Armour now offers three tiers of compression tees: HeatGear for $30
OG Compression for $35,
Neolast Compression for $50.
Neolast is a "new" type of polyester UA has worked on with Celanese corp. It's been in UA $35 heatgear shirts which are a steal for the cut they offer and material.
To get right to the bottom line, I was highly skeptical of UA's new Neolast integration at first, but this shirt completely changed my mind. Neolast combines the thin, breathable feel of HeatGear with the soft, silk-like texture of OG compression. OG is a little thicker. The material is incredibly stretchy in the best way possible; you can pull it to its limits and it snaps right back into place like it was never stretched. Thanks to the seam placement, it does an excellent job of hugging your frame tightly and moving with your body without getting stretched out or baggy over time.
I cannot stress this enough: you need to size up. I usually wear a large in HeatGear and OG, but I had to get an XL in the Neolast, and I probably could have even gone with an XXL. The XL fits tight like a traditional large, but it performs better by not riding up the waist and avoiding a flat-tire appearance. The shoulders on this new cut are also very flattering, helping create a more tapered look which is ideal for compression gear.
A small detail I really appreciated is that the tag is a clip-on, meaning you do not have to risk ripping out the compression seams to get rid of a plastic tag.
Another area where this shirt excels is how it handles a bulk. Right now I am on a dirty bulk, and this shirt acts almost like a shapewear or Skims type of product. I usually wear it as a base layer under a Charged Cotton shirt, which comfortably provides a leaner appearance while doing its job to soak up sweat. As someone who frequently orders from Under Armour, this is one product I did not expect much from, but I am incredibly satisfied and look forward to wearing it more, especially as I transition into a gym cut.
The only downside is the collar. Like all of their high-collar compression shirts, the collar lacks structure and tends to fold down on itself. Since the logo is printed there rather than stitched, the constant folding hides the branding and makes the shirt look a bit cheaper or worn out.
My ranking:
Neolast
OG
Heatgear compression

As for the compression shorts, they were another great pickup for $30. The version with the side pocket is highly functional and comfortable. I would definitely recommend sizing up by one for those as well. For the record, I do not wear these solo; I always wear standard gym shorts over them.

All in all with all the shoes I bought from them and other stuff. I felt really good about these compression pickups as something very useful. And looking to get more.
I have found both the Slipspeed Mega and Nova unisex Slipspeed at good prices but torn on which to buy and the biggest difference between the two. Anyone have experiences with these?
The Slipspeed mega has thick UA Flow cushioning and the Nova has thick HOVR cushioning. That seems to be the biggest difference.
I am looking for feedback on the comfort for walking and the sizing. Which one would be more comfortable, stable and for someone that gets sore feet?
Recently applied for stocking position have a interview coming up any tips? And what to look for?

I'm not really sure the point of this other than trying to sell off inventory no one wants at a premium and will end up in the deep racks of the outlet stores.
This is kind of bad on UA part. Obviously doing this last quarter didn't help sales..it actually went down. Maybe one of the many "premium" running shoes you have can be discounted? It's not like they are or have in the past flew off the shelves... It's like you all throw a bunch of "premium" stuff at the wall and unfortunately nothing was sticking. You'd have to market them for that to happen.
Whatever is going on with UA absolutely is an atrocity. All around. Lost all its roots. But patronizing public servants to buy Gemini shoes and overlay for meridian even with 40% off without the benefits of getting something new is annoying. Can go get the SL and stuff from competitors at 30% always. Like.the SL. This is just a waste of space in an email.
They got rid of all their stars power and cut down on expenses, they essentially stopped all military/nurse/teacher discounts. So less overhead and less discounts.... And....
They went down in revenue.
I'm not sure who is driving UAA. But doing 1.17 Billion in a quarter is fine. But excessive overhead to being down net revenue is concerning.
This doesn't make sense. They can't even use the "rebranding' excuses because that was almost two years ago they started their turn around effort.
Major hedge funds buying up the stock, but the stock price doesn't grow?
My guess? They are allowing consolidation of shares in a price range for a cheap buyout which would look small on paper but huge to people buying a couple million shares at $5. What a let down. People love the brand, their workers seem inspired. But management of the c suits are playing games to benefit themselves.
IMO. Should be investigated
Get ready for an earnings call with a lot of fake accountability and what they will be doing looking forward while no one knows where the overhead is really going towards.
This isn't an attack on UA it's a concerned shareholder and if it gets deleted it's exactly why companies shouldn't own their own reddit account and proves there is bigger hush hush going on within the company.
I plan on buying hella ua compressions t-shirts but my main concern is how tight it’ll be on me. I’m pretty fit but I have a small gut which throws off compression shirts. I seen ppl with it and it seems pretty snugged to there skin but was wondering if for someone big like me would it be skin tight or slim fit?
Anyone got this gem? In size large? Willing to pay but not to a crazy amount lol.
