I purchased these shoes for my 8 year old son.  He is one that is really rough on his shoes and he definitely put these shoes to the test.  We have had these shoes for about a month now and they aren't showing any signs of wear and tear.  They are very vibrant in color and are super lightweight.  My only gripe is that they are slightly narrow for his feet.  He has average feet in my opinion and we never have to buy him wide shoes.  But after wearing these all day at school he does come home from time to time complaining that the sides of his feet hurt.  We have other Under Armour shoes of the same size but slightly different style and he has no problem with those shoes.  Maybe the ones we have just came out of a bad batch.  I hope they do fix that issue if it is happening with other people as well because we love UA products.
