Just classify the section for women as they do men. simple.

[@nightfly4664]

@@ShadowVille2770 If basketball shoes are the same for men and women, then why are there even men's and women's shoes? I though this was because the feet of men and women are distinctly different, and thus men's and women's shoes are designed differently? Men's shoes having more room for the toes as men's toes are longer, women's shoes being wider at the front because women have a wider forefoot...

[@nightfly4664]

@Joshua Rivers Then my question stands. Why are there men and women's shoes? Also, another question. How long did you wear the female shoe? Because I just looked it up myself, and there are CLEAR differences between the two. Looking at it, I highly doubt I could wear a women's shoe comfortably.

Man, i havent written a letter in... ever. Big ups to the dad and Riley

[@majamintoft5821]

PR/Marketing story, or not, this story is genuinely from the heart! A 9-year old girl--who hoops--was disappointed that girl sizes do not exist on the NBA players' line sneakers. She wrote that letter not expecting any response from Steph/his reps/UA. She didn't expect anything, other than for her words to be taken into account. I believe that it was Steph himself who noticed the girl's message. He does check his social media pages/sites when he can. It doesn't matter whether it was actually Steph who wrote her back. He did respond to her, after all! Yes, the girl's letter gave Steph a great opportunity to make a shift/change in his and NBA player's shoe lines. What I love about this entire story is that Steph gave her the credit for this change! At last night's game vs Nuggets--at half time--he put the spot light on her and the result of what her message did!!! He could've easily taken the credit, but he didn't. He unselfishly made this story about this little girl who is about to change the NBA player's sneaker business by adding shoe sizes for girls. Yes, girls can wear boy's sizes, but the fit is not good; they're often too big here and there, and don't hold the heels and/or toes firmly. In case you haven't realized, males and females differ anatomically. Yes, girls hoop, too--and they're really good at it. Steph uses his platform to speak up on social issues. As of last year, he's added his voice and actions of lessening--if not eliminating---the gender gap/inequality. This story is a big part of his mission, which he represented from a young female's perspective in her own words! I have TOTAL RESPECT FOR STEPH AND HIS TRUE UNSELFISH CHARACTER!!! The only "selfish" part in this is that as a devoted and a loving husband and father, he wants to see his beloved wife and daughters thrive in a society that is not prejudiced/biased on one's gender, race/ethnicity, nor their economic backgrounds. Any caring and a loving father who has daughters, would love to see their young ladies thrive in a society of equal opportunity and without any dividing barriers--of the socio-psychological and physical (non)sense. Peace and Love to all.

Com'on young guys! What's the matter with you! This is a little girl who got some guidance from her father and acted on a matter that was very important to her and probably to many other girls around the world! How did Curry get the letter? Boys and girls are not the same? You actually have to defend your gender by talking about a very important part of the month for a young girl IN RELATION TO ATHLETIC GEAR!!!!!!!!! Guys, that Horrible! This could be your little sister, or your niece, or once you get older, your own daughter!!! Have some class guys! She's going to undoubtedly read some of this stuff and it's really hurtful, and why? All because she simply wanted to make an adult aware of something, he very honestly, MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT! WOW! If my son ever sent messages of this nature about someone young and innocent that he doesn't even know, I'd have to sit him down and ask him simply, "Why"? You know it's hurtful! You know it's very in sensitive, and cruel, so why would you want to say such things? There's no answer that he could give me that would justify some of the messages I've been reading! You can be fooled, sure, but the way I've raised my son to the young man that he is today, when he was ballin in school, he'd never do something like this! Guys, Young Men, don't shatter the little girls dreams! I sincerely hope her father screens some of these very unkind messages so that she doesn't have to read them...
