The Armoury at Champs Sports will serve as the premiere destination in the region for legions of Under Armour brand enthusiasts, featuring all of Under Armour's best and most innovative footwear, apparel and accessories.
Within this unique retail space, consumers will also be provided special access to exclusive Under Armour product and athlete appearances.
