Sportswear label Under Armour works in conjunction with all-star basketball player Stephen Curry in releasing the Curry 5 'Welcome Home' sneakers. The shoes are specifically created to celebrate the NBA Final Game between the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors. Designed for ultimate unpredictability, the silhouette is lightweight, precise in fit and crafted to assist Curry in maximizing his on-court performance. The lightweight construction allows for optimum speed and agility with its fully knit uppers and 360-degree fit and feel.
Additionally, there are Anafoam containment areas within the forefoot lateral surroundings and around the heel to fit the foot tightly. The midsoles have EVA cushioning for additional control and grippy outsoles for stop control. The design aesthetic combines a color palette of white, black, and blue with speckled details at the midsole and 'SC' branding in orange.
