Under Armour took over the Bay Area with the launch of Stephen Curry’s new sneaker, The Curry 3.  Working together, Under Armour and Curry created a new shoe that breaks the mold of what to expect from basketball footwear, with new technology and design elements. The Curry 3 is the physical manifestation of what Curry can do next in a basketball shoe.

The shoe is characterized by Under Armour’s newest in fabric technology, the Threadborne process. Threadborne was created by Under Armour’s innovators after examining a parachute, specifically paracord, a strong piece of material that is at the equipment’s core. Within the weave construction of paracord, Under Armour discovered ultra-durable yarns and rebuilt them into a fabric—braided threads wrapped around a corded panel—delivering unparalleled lightweight directional strength and support.

Additionally, Meta-Wing lines the heel to specifically support the subtalor joint for a shoe that provides breakthrough support for balance, pivoting and shock absorption. Herringbone Tractrion makes its return with the Curry 3, along with Under Armour’s unique Charged Cushioning system.
