The Curry 6 Fox Theatre is the new line off the Under Armour shoe range at the start of 2019.
Be Steph. Be more.
And a fine job they’ve done of creating basketball footwear that’s light, robust but also quite snazzy as well.
Let’s start with the colouring, a tribute, UA say, to the Fox Theatre in downtown Oakland in a nod to the hometown from which the Golden State Warriors will take their leave next summer.
Neon green, orange and yellow, the theatre’s colours, adorn the shoe with a neon outsole, midsole and lacing system
Like previous versions, the Curry 6 also features the full-length HOVR cushioning system and has been created with the NBA MVP’s court zipping in mind, facilitating rapid movement change.
“The Curry 6 gives me the ultimate confidence that no matter what move I try, change of direction, change of speed, the amount of wear and tear I put on my body over the course of 48 minutes,†he said. “That it is going to ride with me the whole way.â€
We tested them – and were pretty impressed. The lightweight feel is great, as is the heel counter which gives lots of stability and a sole which is made for speed.
If you want a shoe that feels fun, this is a live option. You might not shoot like Steph but it’s a slice of Curry World.
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
