The Under Armour Curry 2 'BHM' emerged in February 2016, a special edition of Stephen Curry's signature shoe. This variant was created to honor Black History Month, representing a powerful statement of recognition. The release date was strategically planned to coincide with the annual celebration, solidifying its cultural significance.
Designed explicitly as a basketball shoe, the Curry 2 'BHM' offers superior performance on the hardwood. It features a full-length Charged Cushioning® midsole, delivering responsive cushioning for dynamic movements. The precision fit molds to the foot, providing a snug, secure feel that allows for peak athletic performance.
Stephen Curry, a monumental figure in basketball, wore the Curry 2 'BHM' during the NBA game between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Cleveland on January 18, 2016, specifically on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This moment cemented the shoe's association with both Curry and the historical significance of the day. Furthermore, the Curry 2 'BHM' was featured prominently on a GQ Magazine cover, amplifying its presence in popular culture.
The upper of the Curry 2 'BHM' is crafted using UA SpeedForm® technology, a seamless mesh construction that hugs the foot. A thin fuse layer in the forefoot and toebox provides essential support and durability. The outsole features an organic herringbone traction pattern, ensuring multidirectional grip and control on the court, enhancing its performance.
