Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry is making sure no fan is left out.
Sports business reporter Darren Rovell tweeted out an awesome exchange between the two-time MVP and nine-year-old baller Riley Morrison, who penned a letter to Curry after discovering that the pair of Curry 5s she’d been eying for her upcoming basketball season weren’t available in girls sizes.

Girl named Riley Morrison asks @StephenCurry30 why his sneakers don’t come in girls sizes. Steph responds.
This is something just about every female sports fan has dealt with at some point, so good on Morrison for tackling the issue and going straight to the source.
In addition to sending a pair of Curry 5s her way to make sure she’s geared up to hit the court, Curry also promised a pair of 6s and sent a personal invite to a special International Women’s Day celebration in March.
“We have something special in the works for International Women’s Day on March 8th, and I want you to celebrate with me! More to come on that, but plan to be in Oakland that night!” Curry wrote.
Curry has spoken out before about the importance of gender equality on several occasions, including an article written in The Players’ Tribune centred around closing the pay gap. He has also hosted a girls basketball camp.
