Sesame Street's Cookie Monster is the inspiration behind the latest Under Armour Curry Flow 9 sneaker model. Steph Curry shows off the latest blue tonal sneakers during the 2021 NBA Media Day as the new season begins to kick off in the coming weeks.
The shoes have a dynamic knit material at the base foundation with suede detailing on top at the vamp and the heel section. Branding details continue at the extended tongue reading "Curry Flow 9" and the "SC30" emblems and tag badges that detail the heel region. Rounding out the shoe is a one-piece sole unit foundation sculpted to stretch around to the backside of the heel panel. The forefoot features black details for tonal contrast.
