You’d assume that since De’Aaron Fox was only recently traded from the Sacramento Kings to the San Antonio Spurs, it would take some time before his signature sneaker with Under Armour, the Under Armour Curry Fox 1, would appear in a makeup for his new squad. However, the Fox 1’s newest colorway, Gamer, is almost a perfect pair for the Spurs.
The design is directly inspired by Fox’s love of video games, which is well-documented as he used to be very active in the online gaming community, making videos about Call of Duty, Fortnite, Dragon Ball FighterZ, and more. On the upper, we see an engineered mesh base in black with suede reinforcements in a tonal black finish found on the mudguard, vamp, and collar. An iridescent pearl-like hue is applied to the forefoot strap, which contains a clever nod to De’Aaron’s last name with its fox-tail-inspired detail on the end of the strap.
