Under Armour Lockdown

Under Armour Lockdown is a performance basketball footwear series developed by Under Armour, Inc. While the brand is quintessentially American, originating from a desire to create moisture-wicking athletic apparel, its manufacturing infrastructure is global. Most footwear production, including the Lockdown series, takes place in Southeast Asia, with major factories located in Vietnam, Indonesia, and China to leverage high-scale manufacturing capabilities.

Founded in 1996 by Kevin Plank, Under Armour has grown from a basement operation in Washington, D.C., to a multi-billion dollar global sports powerhouse. The brand is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange and remains headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. It remains the ultimate owner of its intellectual property and branding, positioning itself as a leader in technical sports gear and innovation.
