Under Armour is coming up with a Batman-inspired Stephen Curry 2S soon. Dubbed, “Black Knight” Curry 2S, the pair was created in anticipation of the reigning NBA MVP’s second straight championship ring.
Initial photos of the “Black Knight” Curry 2S were released, featuring a high-top black and yellow design. The shoe is predominantly black, with yellow accents, similar to Batman’s classic costume in the 90s.
SoleCollector wrote that one of the most notable features of the “Black Knight” Curry 2S is the graphic on the inside of the tongue, which showcased the Bat-Signal. The upper of the shoe presented two tones of black, except for the yellow Under Armour logo on the side, Stephen Curry’s logo on the tongue and toe part, and the shoe’s cushioning technology, “Charge,” at the far side of the midsole.
The midsole is black, while the outsoles are yellow with black speckles. The shank linking the front and rear outsoles is black with a bold Under Armour logo in yellow at the center. The insole and inner lining of the shoe are black, while the shoelaces are black with subtle yellow accents.
SlamOnline noted that the Curry Two debuted late in 2015, presenting various components that ensure better performance and comfort on the basketball court. The model is reportedly the first basketball shoe to include a full-length Charged Cushioning midsole unit and a UA SpeedForm seamless upper.
The two technologies were combined to optimize Stephen Curry’s unique skill set. The shoe also boasts of locked in stability and control technology, allowing players to move freely and quickly, while maintaining control throughout. The “Black Knight” Curry 2S is expected to deliver the same benefits.
ComicBook wrote that the predecessor of the “Black Knight” Curry 2S, the Curry 2.5, featured colors that gave reference to Batman as well. The shoe is priced at $130, and will be available beginning June 11, 2016. The pair will be available on the Under Armour website, as well as select retailers.
Those who prefer the low-top version can also get the Chef Curry 2 Low, an all-white sneaker that will also drop on June 11, priced at $120. Before the “Black Knight” Curry 2S releases, fans can watch Stephen Curry and Golden State battle the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on June 10, 2016.
More updates and details on the “Black Knight” Curry 2S are expected soon.
