The Curry 7 'Dub Nation' was released on December 13, 2019, as a vibrant tribute to the devoted fanbase of the Golden State Warriors. This colorway celebrated the team's move to the Chase Center in San Francisco, marking a new chapter for both the Warriors and their supporters. The 'Dub Nation' theme is an annual tradition, showcasing the deep connection between the team and its dedicated community, who have consistently demonstrated unwavering loyalty.
Designed as performance footwear, the Curry 7 'Big Kids' is engineered for the rigors of basketball. The dual-density cushioning system, incorporating UA HOVR™ technology and Micro G® foam, provides exceptional energy return and responsive cushioning. A flexible plate between the cushioning layers offers crucial support and stability. The traditional herringbone-patterned rubber outsole, with variable heights, delivers exceptional multidirectional traction, crucial for quick cuts and changes of direction on the court.
The Curry 7 line, including the 'Big Kids' variant, holds a significant place in contemporary basketball culture. The shoe's association with Stephen Curry, the four-time NBA champion, has cemented its status. The heel pull tab, adorned with symbols representing Curry's children – the wolf for Canon, the unicorn for Riley, and the butterfly for Ryan – adds a personal touch that resonates with fans. The subtle, hidden signature on the right tongue further elevates the shoe's collectibility and desirability. The Curry 7 'Dub Nation' colorway, in particular, became a symbol of the Golden State Warriors' move to San Francisco, solidifying its place within the broader cultural landscape.
The Curry 7 'Big Kids' edition features a multi-layered upper crafted from translucent mesh, TPU skin, and synthetic leather, offering a blend of breathability and support. Zonal reinforcement enhances durability, while perforated holes at the tongue promote airflow. Comfort is prioritized with foam padding at the heel and collar, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit during dynamic movements. The design integrates these materials strategically, resulting in a performance-driven shoe built for the demands of young athletes.
