UA Curry 1 Underdog

Description

The Under Armour Curry One “Underdog” colorway pays homage to Stephs college, Davidson and the fact that he was overlooked and often viewed as an underdog coming out of college. Although Steph Curry set the record for most 3-pointers made in an NCAA season, becoming the all-time leading scoring at Davidson College, and being drafted in the 7th pick in the NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors, the world slept on Steph Curry. Curry has always been viewed as the underdog, Under Armour decided to use that as inspiration (and maybe a little motivation) for this Davidson-esque color scheme. Davidsons official colors are black and red, which is the combination seen on this UA Curry One, along with a touch of silver and grey, nicknamed “Underdog” colorway. The Underdog Curry One comes with expected details like the anaFoam upper and Charged Foam cushioning, and also features a grey midsole with black splattered paint that harkens back to some of the most popular sneaker designs of the late 80s. But the Underdog nickname may be even more relevant to the battle in basketball shoes between UA and Nike, where Under Armour is steadily making a name for themselves in a business dominated by Nike. Whether the nickname began for Steph or for UA, the Under Armour Curry One “Underdog” is fitting for a signature shoe that changed the entire perspective of many sneaker enthusiasts.
