It's the start of basketball season, and all 9-year-old Riley Morrison of Napa, California, wants to wear on the court is a pair of Steph Curry 5 sneakers.

When she went searching for the shoes on the Under Armour website, though, Morrison found that the shoes weren't for sale in the girls section, only the boys. Wanting to see this changed, Morrison wrote a letter to the Golden State Warriors star. "I know you support girl athletes because you have two daughters and you host an all girls basketball camp," she wrote. "I hope you can work with Under Armour to change this because girls want to rock the Curry 5s, too."
