To check out UA baskebtall shoes, see link below https://housakicks.com/basketballsport/on-court-testing-of-the-under-armour-hovr-havoc-4-observations/ It's been a while since I have done an on court testing and there is a a reason for it. I haven’t purchased any basketball shoes in ages. All that changed about a week ago when after being introduced to Jay Shemenski from the UA brand by Chris Burns from ARCH, I was sent several pairs of the Under Armour HOVR Havoc 4. I don’t think the shoe is officially out yet. I took to the courts on Friday to test it and the results are in the video. Be sure to watch it thoroughly

hey what's going on guys this is ty from
0:02
masterkicks.com
0:03
and uh i'm about to check out these uh
0:06
under armour hover havoc number four i
0:09
don't think the shoe is out yet but uh
0:11
under my armor was kind enough to send
0:13
out some free sneakers i got me and my
0:15
boys and we all play basketball like
0:17
almost every day so we have a group and
0:19
we actually call the group scrubs and
0:21
scrubs not because we suck but scrubs
0:23
because we believe in soberness we
0:25
believe in character and respect and
0:27
unity and we believe that those
0:29
qualities build our society so basically
0:32
um
0:33
i got this shoe
0:34
about two days ago so i'm about to test
0:36
it but the first thing i always want to
0:38
do is uh you want to learn how to lace
0:39
them i want to see if i can lace them
0:41
how easy it is to work now it's funny
0:43
because i've been playing basketball
0:44
with this on
0:46
cloud stratos and this is supposed to be
0:48
a running shoe but they're so
0:51
comfortable that i can't play with any
0:53
other snickers but these sneakers but
0:54
today i'm going to test this uh hover
0:57
let's see how easy it is to listen
0:59
listen them is not that hard at all
1:01
so basically
1:02
this is it so i'm gonna listen up
1:06
and then i'm gonna go on the court and
1:07
see how good the shoe is i mean it feels
1:09
pretty good so far
1:10
all right so what i'm checking for is
1:12
cushioning and how quick it is i'm i am
1:14
on the court
1:15
and provided i'm 40 years old so it's
1:17
not like i'm like quick like kyrie so
1:18
i'm not going to be playing like that
1:20
but i'm looking for cushioning pretty
1:22
much
1:23
flexibility i'm also looking for fit and
1:25
ankle protection because if you play
1:27
basketball that's what you want and i
1:28
want to see how good it feels when i'm
1:30
like coming to the basket i don't want
1:31
to just make a video of me doing drills
1:33
because that doesn't make any sense
1:35
because when you have a shoe
1:37
you when you test it on the cord when
1:38
you play that's how you find out how
1:40
good the shoe is so that's what i'm
1:41
going to do so i'm going to lace them up
1:42
real quick
1:43
and then we're going to get into the to
1:45
the game i'm having a hard time with the
1:46
right player
1:48
all right
1:50
so i'll see you on the court
1:56
there we go
2:08
okay
2:23
gotcha
3:03
good
3:14
[Laughter]
3:27
oh
3:58
right
4:17
oh
4:30
oh good morning
4:55
is it hey guys i just got done playing
4:57
with this um havoc 4 the hover havoc 4
5:00
and i will give it a 9.5 out of 10.
5:04
from the way it fits on my feet it was
5:06
incredible
5:07
it wasn't hard to put on
5:09
and uh the shoe felt like it was an
5:11
extension of my body i didn't feel like
5:12
i had something on it felt like it was
5:14
just part of my body just my body being
5:16
extended so it feels really good on the
5:17
court like the traction is incredible
5:20
there was a lot of dust on the floor but
5:22
it was i wasn't it wasn't slippery at
5:23
all i was really cut into the basket you
5:26
saw i made a couple moves there and that
5:28
i really really felt very comfortable
5:30
with it as far as the cushioning
5:32
my knees don't hurt my back doesn't hurt
5:34
usually when i wear a shoe that's not
5:36
really good
5:37
right after i'm done playing ball i feel
5:39
like my whole body is stiff i don't feel
5:40
that way i feel really loose now
5:43
and uh as fast like the
5:45
the ankle support it's pretty sturdy so
5:47
it doesn't feel like this is gonna get
5:49
give in okay so you can't just fold it
5:51
you can see what i'm like trying to like
5:53
uh twist it and it's not happening all
5:55
right now the ventilation incredible
5:58
this is mesh my feet went warm like
6:00
today was like 70 75 72 it wasn't hot
6:04
but still i didn't feel like my feet
6:06
were warming up so the ventilation is
6:07
incredible as far as like the the uh the
6:10
material now the shoes build some kind
6:11
of synthetic leather okay it kind of
6:14
like molds to your foot so again i give
6:17
it a 9.5 out of 10.
6:19
now to put it in it's really easy to put
6:20
it as really easy uh the ankle uh
6:24
comfort here is pretty good so double
6:26
layer of foam in it and then this side
6:28
here is is pretty sturdy so what else am
6:30
i going to talk about i think that's it
6:31
pretty much so i'll give it a 9.5 out of
6:33
10. now i wear size 12 but on this shoe
6:36
i picked up a size 13 because um i like
6:39
my i like a little bit of room in my
6:41
foot so i'll say go maybe a half a size
6:44
or a size higher if you wear 11 i'd say
6:46
get a size 12.
6:47
but as far as like basketball this is
6:50
probably my new basketball shoe i'm not
6:52
going to wear my uh
6:54
running shoes anymore i'm going to be
6:55
playing with this one so i'll give it a
6:57
9.5 out of 10 incredible on every side
7:00
okay again i was looking for angle
7:01
support uh breathability cushioning and
7:04
he passed every one of those steps so
7:07
again i highly recommend this the hover
7:09
harvard four is by under all right so
7:12
down with a review and all that so like
7:15
i said the shoe is not out yet so if
7:17
you're still interested in purchasing
7:19
any basketball shoes from under armour
7:22
the earlier model the hover 3 and the
7:25
hover 2 or the hover have a 2 i will
7:28
give you a link to the to the brain's uh
7:30
website so you can go ahead and and see
7:32
what they have until they get these so
7:35
these are called a candy rain because i
7:37
like the color reminds me of the
7:39
steph curry candy range so they have
7:41
other colors i also like this one it's
7:44
uh it comes in an olive and then brown
7:47
top so this is also a nice colorway here
7:50
this is the same silhouette okay if you
7:52
can see inside it says uh ankles so the
7:55
shoe is not quite out there so this is
7:56
why and also like the
7:59
the black and white one is actually
8:00
actually pretty good to black and gray
8:03
and he has a white uh bottom
8:05
uh same silhouette and this is the joker
8:08
colorway i think i call this the joker
8:10
this is also nice because i have the
8:12
black and the purple and the pink hair
8:14
and the green looks like a joker so i
8:17
like that colorway as well so again if
8:19
you're interested in any of these i'll
8:22
give you the link to the brand's website
8:23
because i don't have them i'm not
8:26
selling them obviously so i'll give you
8:28
the link to the web to the brand's
8:29
website and you can get access to that
8:31
all right again thanks for watching and
8:32
