Could this be Under Armour's first tennis shoe?


Two-time grandslam champion Andy Murray started the season by jumping from the brand with three stripes to the second-largest US sportswear brand Under Armour.

Not entirely though. While Murray--who won his first grandslam during the 2012 US Open and followed it up with a Wimbledon win in 2013--has been wearing Under Armour apparel since his first tournament of the year in Abu Dhabi, he was still wearing Adidas tennis sneakers.

Until now.

Murray's official Facebook page posted this photo a few hours ago:


Upon closer inspection, it looks like a low-cut Clutchfit Drive basketball shoe and Murray, who is still in contention in the Mutua Madrid Open tournament, certainly can't seem to wait to test out what could very well be his signature sneaker with Under Armour. 

It uses the same Micro G foam cushioning system made popular by Under Armour's basketball sneakers and I might as well throw it out there and guess that it also has the same AnaFoam upper.

With Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry winning this year's 2015 KIA NBA MVP award and getting a special edition Curry One, it seems Under Armour is going all out to make sure their athletes get only the best sneakers and that of course includes Murray, who has won his first clay title this year at the BMW Open in Munich.

So are you excited to see Under Armour's first tennis shoe? I'm sure I am.
