Celebrating Stephen Curry as the NBA's best, Under Armour released the highly anticipated "MVP" Curry One this morning.
Sadderday morning letdowns are now the usual, but Under Armour has never had this kind of buzz for a single basketball sneaker release. As expected, there were some hiccups on underarmour.com, making checkout extremely difficult for some customers. Purchasing at Foot Locker, Eastbay and Finishline also proved to be quite a mission.
As always, Twitter had plenty to say on the matter. Some people were pleased to get through, while others swore off Under Armour forever. Because it's way easier to cop Nikes and Jordans online. But people did react, and that's great news for Under Armour and Curry.
Here's 20 takes on the "MVP" Under Armour Curry One release from Twitter:
@RealCMulshine Billion dollars in rev and theses fools have a worse website than obamacare

@UAbasketball there's no way it's sold out, I started trying to add it to cart at 6:58 and it's been loading since....

@JLYChung you're welcome. Getting Currys is almost like getting Jordan retros now. Good luck finding a pair!

Don't get me wrong the MVP Currys are mice but the hype don't belong with them

Never would've thought there'd be so much hype for a pair of Curry 1s (cause it's an MVP shoe??) Resale value looks pretty good tho!

Well Under Armour sucks. Wasted over an hour trying to get the Currys and they get taken out of my cart when I could finally check out.

Curry One is officially sold out.
— Finish Line (@FinishLine) June 13, 2015
@FinishLine Close to impossible to get... I hope there's a restock in the future.

Steph Curry 1's outselling the Kyrie 1's. Even though it's UA.

Been waiting all day to cop the #CurryOne "MVP" but resellers get them instead and resell them at stupid prices @StephenCurry30 @UnderArmour
