Under Armour delivered autographed Curry 4 sneakers by drone to fans over the weekend. StockX CEO Josh Luber explains how this promotion is resonating with fans, and how the sneaker retailer is performing. "The shoes are dropping from the sky, how cool is that," says Luber. "I love that Under Armour is being the innovator here and doing something different." Last week Stifel Nicolaus upgraded Under Armour, raising the price target from $11 to $17. Shares of the retailer have since been on the rise. Luber says if Under Armour can succeed in snagging a piece of the market in the basketball sector from Nike or Adidas it could really help the retailer. Luber also shares his picks for the hottest sneakers on the resale market. This week those include Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Blue Tint, and Jordan 11 "Win Like 96."

Small grocers and convenience stores feel an impact as customers go without SNAP benefits
Some small grocery stores and neighborhood convenience stores are eager for the U.S. government shutdown to end and for their customers to start receiving federal food aid again. Late last month, the Trump administration froze funding for the SNAP benefits that about 42 million Americans use to buy groceries. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says about 74% of the assistance was spent last year at superstores like Walmart and supermarkets like Kroger. Around 14% went to smaller stores that are more accessible to SNAP beneficiaries. A former director of the United Nations World Food Program says SNAP is not only a social safety net for families but a local economic engine that supports neighborhood businesses.
