High Performance Apparel Innovation
Under Armour’s High Performance Apparel centers on HeatGear moisture-wicking and ColdGear insulation, now upgraded with smarter textiles by end-2025 offering 15–25% improved breathability and targeted compression for key muscle groups; average unit durability tests show 30% higher abrasion resistance versus 2020 models. These lines target elite athletes, driving a 2024–2025 ASP (average selling price) rise to $48 and contributing to technical apparel growth of ~8% YoY in FY2025.
Footwear Expansion and Curry Brand
Under Armour expanded footwear beyond basic trainers into running, basketball, and turf, growing footwear revenue to about $1.3B in FY2024 (roughly 25% of brand sales) and boosting gross margin through premium models.
The Curry Brand, with Stephen Curry, anchors high-performance basketball sneakers and lifestyle apparel, driving double-digit growth in basketball segment SKU sell-through in 2024.
UA Flow cushioning removes the rubber outsole for lighter, more responsive shoes; testing shows ~8–12% weight reduction versus comparable rubber-outsole models, improving player agility metrics in-house.
UA Sportstyle and Lifestyle Integration
Under Armour refined its Sportstyle line to meet the 2024–25 athleisure boom, driving a 12% rise in apparel sales in FY2024 and helping brand reach $5.7B revenue in 2024. These pieces use performance fabrics with everyday silhouettes so consumers wear UA beyond workouts. The move expanded average SKUs per customer and lifted full-price sell-through by ~6%, keeping athletic credibility while growing casual wardrobe share.

The move aims at eco-conscious consumers and ties to cost control—company reports a 12% reduction in material waste and a 6% sourcing-cost improvement in 2024–25.
