Stephen Curry, one of America’s most iconic athletes, continues to make waves both on and off the court. The Golden State Warriors star, who is also the centerpiece of Under Armour, further cemented his influence by launching his own sub-brand under the company: Curry Brand. This venture focuses on sportswear and has already made headlines by signing Sacramento Kings’ star De’Aaron Fox as its first athlete.
