To commemorate Steph Curry winning his second straight NBA
Most Valuable Player Trophy, his family at Under Armour has made a special Curry 2 in honor of this event. The 1's shown in the picture were released last season to friends and family only, but didn't however feature the gold coloring on the toe box and instead possessed a white color. They will be included with the new 2's in a special "MVP Pack".The theme of this pack revolves around the idea of Steph's back to back MVPs. Now including Curry, there have only been 11 back-to-back winner of the MVP trophy, the last time it happened was when LeBron James won it in both the 2008-9 and 2009-10 seasons, putting Chef Curry in both iconic and rare company.
The shoe comes equipped with a gold and black color scheme that reflects colors for both the MVP and Larry O' Brien Trophies (NBA Championship). Steph told the guys at Under Armour that he wanted more of an emphasis on his team with these shoes and it clearly shows.
On the inside of the tongue in gold lettering are the Warriors' team values such as faith, passion, drive, and will.
The outside of the shoe shows a true gold Under Armour logo with certain words in white that have been significant in Curry's life. For example, the date 1988, signifies the year Steph was born. One of his favorite Bible verses, Phillipians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" makes an appearance as well.
While in a nod and tribute to his Head Coach Steve Kerr, the shoe's sole possesses words that Kerr has used as the building blocks for the Warriors' success. Behind a gold background are the words Joy, Mindfulness, Compassion, and Competition. The 2's also features "MVP" written on one shoe and the "SC" Curry logo on the other.
