The Under Armour signing of Stephen Curry has been an absolute jackpot for the company.
Curry merchandise has been flying off the shelves, and the company’s stock has reached all-time high levels.

But man, after the hideous release of the UA Curry Two’s, more specifically the low, all white colorway, consumers have been less than impressed with the unimaginative designs.
You remember these kicks. The dad-style monstrosities that look like they should pair with rolled-up Wranglers.

However, the company has upgraded.
The wait is over.
Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, the new low Curry 3’s!

First reaction, meh.
These new kicks have not garnered quite the negative attention that his 2’s received, but most fans believe that this design came up short as well.

Needless to say, the UA creative department has struggled mightily despite having such a marketable star in Stephen Curry.
This appears to be yet another swing and miss.
