Stephen Curry aims to challenge Michael Jordan’s legacy
Stephen Curry is aiming to challenge Michael Jordan’s legendary legacy. In 2020, he launched the Curry Brand with Under Armour, offering shoes, apparel, and accessories. Since then, the brand has grown and is now expanding internationally.
As Under Armour kicks off its global tour, Curry is leading the charge. Emily Chang asked Curry in an interview if his goal was to replicate the success of Air Jordan. Curry acknowledged that Jordan set a high standard both on the court and through his cultural influence.
He said, “Is the ambition to be as big as Air Jordan? My version of that is in the sense of he set the standard, and then everybody’s in the comparison game of his career on the court and obviously what Air Jordan means, you know, culturally on the court as well.”
