Steph Curry Honors Black History Month With a Special Edition Curry 1 Retro
A design that honors Lewis Latimer.
Steph Curry and the Curry Brand are releasing a special edition of the fan-favorite Curry Retro 1 in honor of Black History Month.
The sneaker’s design takes inspiration from the true story of Lewis Latimer and his contributions to shaping history. Curry was inspired by the Black inventor who improved Thomas Edison’s light bulb in 1881. In honor of the Black trailblazer that have played an important part of history, this “BHM” colorway gives a nod to Latimer’s design.
The retro silhouette is a high-top sneaker that features a grey upper with dotted detailing. In honor of Latimer, there’s a light bulb that sits at the tongue pull tab and reflective upper. The dotted design resembles that of a circuit board as the shoe sits atop a white and black midsole and outsole. The shoe was first released as a PE in 2015 and was released as an Asia-exclusive in 2021. This marks the first time the shoe will make its global debut.
