(NYSE: <a class=\"ticket-symbol\" data-toggle=\"modal\" href=\"#financial-modal\">UAA<\/a>, UA) and Stephen Curry today announced plans to separate Curry Brand from Under Armour, ending a partnership that has redefined performance\u00a0product and\u00a0athlete-led storytelling\u00a0for more than a decade.\u00a0Under Armour, with a disciplined focus on its namesake brand, will develop new UA Basketball products and continue to support athletes and programs across every level of the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Under the separation, Curry will become independent of Under Armour. UA\u00a0will release the Curry 13 \u2013 the final Curry Brand x Under Armour shoe \u2013 in February 2026 as planned, with additional colorways and apparel collections available through October 2026.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been an incredible privilege to work with Stephen, who as President of Curry Brand has been much more than an ambassador \u2013 he&#8217;s become a thoughtful and strategic business leader,&#8221; said Kevin Plank, Founder and CEO of Under Armour. &#8220;Together with our teammates, he helped build something rare: a brand with credibility, community impact, and product that performs at the highest level.\u00a0For Under Armour, this moment is about discipline and focus on the core UA brand during a critical stage of our turnaround. And for Stephen, it&#8217;s the right moment to let what we created evolve on his terms. We&#8217;ll always be grateful for what he&#8217;s brought to the UA team.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Launched in 2020 as an extension of Stephen Curry&#8217;s longtime partnership with Under Armour, Curry Brand has combined performance innovation with community investments \u2013 especially in youth sports and underfunded basketball programs \u2013 while serving as a global platform for both parties&#8217; on and off-court values. Through this partnership, Under Armour expanded its Project Rampart youth sports and education initiative to Oakland, and it will continue to support those efforts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Under Armour believed in me early in my career and gave me the space to build something much bigger and more impactful than a shoe. I&#8217;ll always be grateful for that.&#8221; said Stephen Curry. &#8220;Curry Brand was created to change the game for good and over the past 5 years, we successfully changed the game for kids, for communities, and for basketball. What Curry Brand stands for, what I stand for and my commitment to that mission will never change, it&#8217;s only growing stronger. I&#8217;m excited for a future that&#8217;s focused on aggressive growth with a continued commitment to keep showing up for the next generation.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This move lets two strong teams do what they do best,&#8221; Plank added. &#8220;Under Armour is focused on product innovation and performance for athletes at every level. Curry Brand gets the independence to determine its own future. That&#8217;s good for Stephen and good for UA.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> <b> About Under Armour, Inc. <\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Under Armour, Inc., headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, is a leading inventor, marketer, and distributor of branded athletic performance apparel, footwear, and accessories.
