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.

One of those cool moments!!!! @HUBison_Golf getting together for the first time. Look good. Feel good. Play good (well). That’s the rule. Glad to be a part in this journey with you. Just the beginning! S/O @callawaygolf for backing up the truck and @underarmour for the gear ! 🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/weDqEqyyvE
