Hold on Nike and Adidas…Here comes Under Armour..To celebrate Steph Curry’s record breaking three-point record, Under Armour is releasing the world’s first cross-platform metaverse sneaker. There will be 2,974 of the “Genesis Curry Flow” NFTs launched and will be digital replicas of the shoe that Curry was wearing when he broke the record.
