Curry Brand Introduces Speed that Scares with the Fox 1

The Fox 1 to launch in the ‘Happy Fox Day’ colorway on December 6, 2024

The need for speed is real in the game of basketball and no one plays with pace like Curry Brand athlete De’Aaron Fox. With speed that scares and a game that dazzles and defies boundaries, it was only right that Curry Brand create a sneaker that embodies the distinct play and personality of one of the NBA’s most impressive guards to date. After a year of development, Curry Brand is thrilled to officially announce the launch of the Fox 1, a signature sneaker entirely inspired by Fox, designed for maximum speed and performance on the court.

 

Last October, Sacramento Kings’ guard De’Aaron Fox made history by signing with Curry Brand to become the brand’s first signature athlete alongside brand president and NBA superstar Stephen Curry. Fox will become the first athlete besides Curry to get his own signature sneaker with the brand. The Fox 1 will launch on Friday, December 6 in the ‘Happy Fox Day’ colorway, a bright blue and orange design with metallic gold accents inspired by De’Aaron’s love of Christmas and his favorite holiday movie. Priced at $120, the sneakers will be available at UA.com and Under Armour Brand Houses globally as well as exclusively through select DICK’S Sporting Goods locations and dickssportsgoods.com.

Creating the Fox 1 alongside the Curry Brand team has been an incredible experience and a real dream come true,”

“Together we created a sneaker that not only performs at the highest level on the court but truly feels authentic to me in its design and every detail. From the fox tail on the strap to the sleek silhouette to the colorful accents, everything about this sneaker embodies the joy and passion I try to bring to my game every single day. I am beyond excited to share the Fox 1 with the world and see players at every level wear this shoe as they chase their own basketball dreams.”

De’Aaron Fox

Designed specifically to emphasize De’Aaron’s speed and encapsulate his spirit, the Fox 1 introduces a completely new look to the Curry Brand family of sneakers. The shoe’s overall silhouette is lightweight and runner-inspired, with a low profile in breathable two-toned mesh built to look fast. A strap across the top gives the sneaker a unique look, with the end of it shaped like a “fox tail” where additional creative embellishment and storytelling can be done. The strap also can be used for additional lock down support.

The Fox theme continues with “fur” on the shoe’s tongue and De’Aaron’s signature logo, a clever combination of a fox, the number 5 and the letter “D”.  An overlay of Terranina suede gives a premium feel and durability in the forefoot, while a TPU heel counter provides support in the heel. Zigzag edges on the lateral sidewall give a nod to De’Aaron’s love of anime and his lightning-fast speed. UA’s patented FLOW technology makes up the sole of the sneaker, giving that superior grip and traction that Curry Brand is best known for.

“De’Aaron made sure that he was involved with every step of the process. From the sketches and wear testing to developing the various colorways, this whole process is a fun journey especially when you’re working on creating your first signature shoe,”

“From a performance standpoint, De’Aaron is a big fan of the FloTro technology, and he took his own approach with it in the Fox 1 and made it his own, adding his personal touches with his background and his story. The most obvious feature that you have not seen in any other Curry Band sneaker is the strap. It’s this cool feature that adds a little bit of a different aesthetic to the shoe. But the Fox 1 continues to build off of the Flow platform, which is second to none when it comes to traction and stability, all the while allowing De’Aaron to incorporate subtle details and Easter eggs that fans will love.”

Curry Brand President

The Fox 1 is a breathable, lightweight basketball sneaker built for those who aspire to play as fast as De’Aaron Fox, and Curry Brand is thrilled to bring it to market for consumers just in time for the holiday season. Following the December 6 launch, fans can look forward to two more colorways in December. Just a few days before Christmas, the ‘Happy Fox Day Alt’ colorway will drop on December 20, which is also De’Aaron’s birthday. With a deep green color, gold accents and rich textures, this colorway gives a different take on the holiday spirit and makes for the perfect gift for under the tree. And on December 27, ‘The Beam’ colorway will be available as a tribute to De’Aaron’s team, the Sacramento Kings, and their fans. A mix of light and dark purples with pops of neon green, ‘The Beam’ is inspired by the Sacramento Kings’ now famous rallying cry and tradition of lighting the beam after a victory. De’Aaron wore this colorway during his recent unforgettable performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he scored 60 points, setting a new franchise record for the most points in a single game for the Kings.
