Under Armour Curry 2 'MVP Back 2 Back' Pack Release Date, Pics and Retail Price
Sneakerheads knew Under Armour would have something special on the way as soon as the NBA named the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry its unanimous MVP.
That something special is the Under Armour Curry 2 "MVP Back 2 Back Pack," which will hit shelves next Friday.
One half of the pack is a slick white offering with must-see gold accents, while the other is a brave two-tone offering demanding attention of its own.
Here's a look at the release details, via Sneaker Bar Detroit:
| Friday, June 24 | $400 |
It wasn't hard to figure out Under Armour would pull out all the stops here.
Instagram user Sneakers shared a picture of both shoes:
Under Armour released the following statement to Bleacher Report's Laura Depta when first revealing the pack:
"The official announcement has been made: Stephen Curry has earned the top league honor for the second straight year and is only the 11th player in the history of the NBA to do so!
Under Armour is celebrating Stephen's outstanding achievement with the Curry MVP Back 2 Back Pack—a re-release of the Curry One MVP along with a brand new Curry Two MVP colorway.
The Curry MVP Back 2 Back Pack commemorates the signature footwear Stephen wore in each of his MVP seasons.
"
It's an epic one-two punch sneakerheads cannot afford to ignore.
The white offering splashes gold on the logo, bottom and the "30" on the tongue, while the theme of the shoe wraps all the way around the back.
The darker version trades out the "30" for "MVP" on the tongue and keeps it more basic, starting with gold up front and fading to black with an eye-catching flecked design near the bottom.
Cool Kicks shared a rare angle of the offering, looking at the inside of the tongue and the inscriptions there honoring the back-to-back MVP:

Curry himself hasn't been shy about letting the shoe breathe during the 2016 NBA playoffs.
B/R Kicks caught a glimpse of him rocking the lighter version:
The darker version also made an appearance, per Complex Sneakers:
Under Armour hit it out of the park by inking Curry in the first place, so it's only right the company remains at the absolute top of its game, continuing to push Nike for the top slot.
The best shoes in the game always have an interesting background, some reason behind the design. Under Armour has one here on top of one of the best designs sneaker fans will see all year.
Sneakerheads will need to keep an eye out for this one on Friday, because it's going to go fast.
