BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Back in November a 9-year-old girl named Riley Morrison wrote to basketball player Stephen Curry.
She wanted to know why he didn't offer any girl sizes of his signature footwear. Stephen promised to work with Baltimore based Under Armour to change that.
The shoe even has some design qualities from Riley herself.
