Under Armour Curry 1 Black History Month – Feb 2023 – 3026279

Description

This special Black History Month iteration of the Curry 1 takes inspiration from the true story of Lewis Latimerthe Black inventor who improved Thomas Edisons light bulb in 1881. The design honors Latimer and other Black trailblazers everywhere who have played an important role in shaping history. Stephen was originally drawn to Latimer because of his own interest in technology. After reading about Latimer, Stephen gave the Curry Brand design and innovation team the opportunity to take the concept and run with it. Details include subtle nods to Latimers work bringing light to all, including a light bulb on the tongue pull tab and reflective upper as well as a dotted design resembling circuit boards.
