Under Armour announced on Monday a plan to launch a line of apparel and sneakers behind Golden State Warriors superstar guard Steph Curry.

According to CNBC.com, CurryBrand.com will debut this week, which will feature basketball and golf gear initially.

Industry experts say this strategy is meant to take on the Jordan Brand of Under Armour competitor Nike.

A few days ago, Bleacher Report Kicks got a scoop on Curry's new sneakers -- the Curry 8 "We Believe" inspired by the 2006-07 Warriors team that upset the top seed Dallas Mavericks in the playoffs that season.

Under Armour in the United States added that the Curry Brand will also focus on philanthropy.
