Under Armour highlights Maryland HBCUs in new sneaker launch
For a launch of Under Armour's newest lifestyle sneaker, the UA Echo, Baltimore-based photographer Devin Allen shot the 'Sisterhood in Style' campaign on Bowie and Morgan state university campuses, according to a Monday news release from Under Armour.
'The campaign spotlights collegiate women from the nation's first Black Greek-letter sorority for college women, styled in bold, expressive looks that reflect both tradition and individuality,' it says.
'More than a product spotlight, Sisterhood in Style reflects UA's broader commitment to innovation and community, empowering the next generation to show up boldly, break boundaries, and define their own style codes,' the news release says.
The UA Echo sneaker, now in a pink and green colorway, is on sale online for $150.
This isn't Under Armour's only collaboration with local schools. The company donated to the athletic programs at Baltimore City College and Baltimore Polytechnic Institute in October when it created new merchandise for the high schools.

Video Compilation of Every Superhero Landing in the MCU - Because Knees Don't Matter When You Look Cool — GeekTyrant

This wonderfully obsessive video compilation captures every single superhero landing from across the MCU including Iron Man blasting down from the sky, Black Widow sticking the pose with theatrical flair, and every ground-pound, knee-crushing moment in between. It doesn't matter if they're saving the world or just making an entrance, the three-point landing is alive, well, and gloriously unnecessary.
