So Pictures first:

Currently the shoes Bethanie Mattek-Sands is wearing isn't on the UA website so it is not any of the training, or running shoes.

Looks like Under Armor wants to produce tennis shoes. Maybe just for women. But from the looks of it, I don't think they are on the right track. It looks too much like a basketball shoe. The sole doesn't look durable with the clear material. And Mid cut......I don't think so. Or maybe it is the soccer socks that are making the shoes look bad who knows.


Anyone have any interest in UA tennis shoes? Any more info?

As Renfrows post says. Its an Under Armour Micro G Blur. They should retail for 80 bucks. I think the mens size 9's weighed in at 13.8oz so they are super light.

I guess she had to find the right shoes to go with her knee-high socks! Personally, I think she's a fashion disaster from head to toe... but maybe I'm just old school.

I think the UA brand would go over well in the tennis shoe market. They have great creditability for putting out quality product.

They ARE basketball shoes. She said so in an interview with Fred Stolle on Tennis Channel after her match with Schiavone. Under Armor currently has no tennis shoes...........

You can find the shoes online for $60 in every size. They are mens shoes. Seems like as basketball shoes they aren't even that popular. But thanks for the info guys. I'm considering purchasing a pair for basketball.

They are an awesome deal for those in high school.

Wear them on the courts and at the end of the year, to the prom with the tux. Perfect.
