Under Armour Unveils Special Breakthru 5 Sneakers in "Plum" Colorway

Today, Under Armour released a special limited-edition Breakthru 5 "Plum" colorway to celebrate Under Armour basketball athlete Kelsey Plum ahead of her 30^th birthday on August 24. The Breakthru 5, the latest iteration of Under Armour's innovative Breakthru basketball line, is tailored to the specific needs and individual expression of female athletes on the basketball court. The sneakers offer female athletes an elevated design, with a synthetic suede overlay offering lightweight stability and enhanced support for the female anatomy and movement patterns. Kelsey has worn the Breakthru 5 throughout this WNBA season, working with the Under Armour team to create several player exclusive (PE) pairs with different themes.

The all-new Breakthru 5 "Plum" will be one of the first PE colorways of Kelsey's that fans can get their hands on. Inspired by both the fruit and Kelsey's last name, the sneakers boast a purple and orange design with "dew" droplets scattered around the shoe to emulate the look of a fresh plum one might find at a farmer's market. The shoes also feature a one-of-a-kind Kelsey Plum fruit sticker to give that authentic fruit feel.
