Number Two
The Under Armour Curry 1 was a historic release. Curry won NBA MVP and Championship while wearing the 1. The 2 had a tough act to follow. The second Curry signature model featured a Speedform upper that was usually used by UA on running and training shoes. There was a Charged midsole, an external heel counter that offered premium support, and a herringbone pattern on the outsole. The 2 would receive extra attention since it was released very close to Curry winning his first title and MVP Award.

Long range shooting, the three point shot, is now the focus of most team’s offense. His greatness when it comes to shooting the ball has helped to influence not just the NBA, but the basketball world. Whether it is college, high school, or just a pickup game at the park, the influence of Curry is evident. Kids today want to shoot like Curry, the same way they wanted to dunk like Michael Jordan in his day. There has never been a player quite like Stephen Curry.
