Steph Curry Responds To Girl’s Letter About Why His Shoes Do Not Come In Girls Sizes
November 30, 2018
A 9-year-old girl wrote a letter to NBA star Steph Curry pointing out that his shoes do not come in girl sizes, and not only did Curry respond, he made a change.
Riley Morrison wrote in her letter that she’s a big fan of the Golden State Warriors point guard and she wanted a pair of Icon Curry 5 sneakers, but when she visited the Under Armour website to buy them, she didn’t see them listed under the girls’ section.
“Dear Mr. Stephen Curry,
My name is Riley (just like your daughter), I’m 9 years old from Napa, California. I am a big fan of yours. I enjoy going to Warriors games with my dad. I asked my dad to buy me the new Curry 5s, because I’m starting a new basketball season. My dad and I visited the Under Armour website and were disappointed to see that there were no Curry 5s for sale under the girls section. However, they did have them for sale under the boys section, even to customize. I know you support girl athletes because you have two daughters and you host an all-girls basketball camp. I hope you can work with Under Armour to change this because girls want to rock the Curry 5s, too.
Sincerely,
Riley Morrison”
On Thursday, Steph Curry tweeted the handwritten note that he sent Riley in response.
He said he has now worked with Under Armour to put them in the girls section too, and sure enough the shoes are now there.
Curry has been an outspoken advocate for women’s rights, writing earlier this year, “I want our girls to grow up knowing that there are no boundaries that can be placed on their futures, period.”FacebookTwitter

Looking for the Light 
Love heartwarming stories like this. Thanks for sharing the good that exists in this world.
You will see a shift in my sight, I want more info on what,is being done for the chronically ill and mental,illness and good stories about how,people with inflict or try to end the stigma.
Cool beans! Great ideas to pass along. You are doing just that with what you have created with Survivors Bog Here.
I want to separate myself, my post to allow me to focus in a different direct with my site. I will continue to write for Survivor’s on a regular basis but want to show the positive side of life. One area I’m very interested in spending time learning about drugs in clinical trials or just approved for mental health or chronic illness. God must have floated the idea to me, I want people to know what is happening everyday to help. We feel so alone at times. We may get involved or feel better than drug makers have not slowed in find a cure and drugs that work. 🙂
I saw this a while back in the news, but didn’t stop to read the whole story. So glad I did today! Though I don’t really follow big team sports, I played a lot of basketball in 7th and 8th grade so can relate to Riley. I’m making it a point now to remember Stephen Curry, The Golden State Warriors, Riley Morrison, and March 8. Thanks for sharing this!
She is some kid on a mission, she will go far in life. Since joining the group I look for good news to remind,myself it’s a negative would.
Our mainstream media’s focus is negative. There is still good news to be found. I wish we didn’t have to look so hard for it. Oh, well, it’s good to share in groups like this.
I plan to look for good news or good outcomes more often. I’m changing the direction of my site a bit.
Looking for good news would go with looking for the light. I look forward! 🙂
Aww, what an encouraging story.
I loved it, young and old could use more people to respect for their actions. When Mark Cuban first bought the Mavericks I wrote to congratulate him and he invited me to a game. We never forget one’s generosity. 🙂
Wow – I was a fan of his before but now I’m an even bigger one! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for commenting, I’m enjoying being part of the group. We can not get enough good news these days. 🙂
Thank you for sharing this story. He is an amazing atheltic talent and leader. And I have read so many stories of what a great person he is. Here is another for the collection.
Thank you. We need to hear these stories, especially in a time when we are losing so much faith in other people.
Have a beautiful wekk.
I agree with that, it’s media gone wild. You may want to join the group. We write good news stories on the last Friday of the month. It’s my second month and I feel a sense of peace. If that makes sense.
I know you’re on the mend and was thinking you would like to make a music request! I know you love music as much as I do. Have a great day. 🙂
