    NBA star Steph Curry’s game is out of this world, so it’s fitting that the next Curry 12 basketball shoe colorways are inspired by the mysteries of the galaxy.

    Curry Brand — the athlete’s Under Armour-backed imprint — revealed three more Curry 12 colorways on Thursday. These looks, Curry Brand explained, all “explore a distinct element of outer space” and serve as a nod to the four-time NBA champion’s “many on-court personas.”

    The first of the next three colorways to release is “Gravity.” The look, according to Curry Brand , was inspired by “the gravitational force that surrounds Stephen on the court” and his ability to lure defenders in “with the threat of his scoring ability.” To accomplish this, the brand dressed the Curry 12 with light gray uppers, with green and black hues featured on the TPU sidewall, which Curry Brand stated emulates “particles floating through the universe.”

    The Curry 12 “Gravity” arrives Oct. 18 at Under Armour Brand Houses and via UA.com . It will also be sold at Dick’s Sporting Goods and through other distribution partners.

    After the “Gravity” colorway, Curry Brand will release two more looks in the outer space theme, starting with the black-and-white “Wardell Mode” on Nov. 8, which is followed by the predominantly white “Shooting Star” on Nov. 22.

    In terms of on-court performance, the highlight of the shoe is its UA Flow technology. The Curry 12 features dual-density UA Flow midsole cushioning that is light and bouncy, and durable UA Flow outsoles for an improved court feel.

    It also includes a multi-segment forefoot plate for court feel and a midfoot shank for stability; breathable engineered mesh uppers with durable overlays; an external, 3D-molded TPU heel counter for fit and support; and die-cut, open cell foam sockliners for step-in comfort.
