Stephen Curry surprised 250 kids from high schools around the Bay Area with a new pair of Curry 6s, during the latest episode of Bleacher Report’s “Sneaker Shock.”
The surprise took place during a party Curry hosted at the Fox Theater in Oakland on Friday, to honor the city where the two-time MVP and three-time NBA champion has played for the last 10 years. The iconic Fox Theater served as inspiration for the design of the Curry 6.
“Oakland kind of adopted me as their own. It’s my home now and I want to be able to celebrate my journey here,” Curry said. “So for us to be able to give back to the next up-and-coming kids who are trying to pursue great things — and represent Oakland while doing it — it’s a cool opportunity to give them this little surprise.
“Show them that we appreciate their support but also give them some inspiration to keep working hard, keep pursuing their dreams. It gives them some motivation and confidence to reach their full potential.
