The 'Moon Landing' Under Armour Curry 6 basketball sneakers are a one-of-a-kind item that is a collector's dream. Now available on eBay, consumers can bid on the rare footwear and not feel guilty about it as 100% of the proceeds are going to charity. More precisely, the accumulated sum from the sale will go to US-based STEM education initiatives.
The absolutely unique 'Moon Landing' Under Armour Curry 6 silhouette is made available through a collaboration between e-commerce platform eBay, DonorsChoose.org and the Stephen and Ayesha Curry Family Foundation. The footwear is custom and only two pairs have been ever made. The one available online is game-worn and signed by the athlete himself, adding yet another huge incentive for avid basketball fans to pitch their price.
