Sleek, modern and mature, the Under Armour 198 “More Dimes” plays with tech and tooling associated with winning on the hardwood and effectively does the same off of it. Form fitting the vermelho in an era of streamlined silos and athletic inspired outfits, the Curry 4’s knitted upper comfortably maneuvers the lifestyle crossover by taking to style staples of the new age, instead of relying on tried and true archetypes of the past.
“Steph wanted the shoe to be wearable on and off the court,” says designer Kort Neumann. “Prior to this one, we were really focused on on-court performance and making a total performance shoe. With the 4, we still wanted to do utter performance, but also make it wearable.”
Much of that comes to life on the 4 through more sophisticated colorways and material applications, like the rich black suede and knit look of the Under Armour 198 “More Dimes,” seen in detail below. Look for them to land this Saturday, December 16 for $130 at UA Brand Houses, UA retailers nationwide and online at UA.com.
