The Howard University men’s basketball team received the newly released Curry 8 shoes from Under Armour and the Curry Brand. The shoes were released on December 11th.
Gifts from Stephen Curry are not new to Howard University. In 2019, Curry made a donation to the Howard’s men’s and women’s golf programs, which allowed them to compete at the Division 1 level for the first time in the school’s history.
