Stephen Curry and Under Armour continue to work in collaboration as the duo launch the new Curry 4 FloTro sneaker model for the season. The shoe is redesigned with new elements that stem from a technical angle, with the brand's Flow technology infused into the construction.
Essentially, it helps by eliminating the rubber insole in order to provide more support at the compound to ensure a lightweight and durable experience on the court. The sneaker was made with inspiration from the fan-favorite Curry 4 sneaker model and elevated by some modern performance technology that helps with comfort and control with every single step. Additional details include the IntelliKnit heel collar to add breathability to the silhouette.
