Now that Steph Curry is free from the confines of Under Armour, he’s taking every opportunity he can to show out for the NBA’s legends through his footwear selection. First, he broke his 12-year UA streak by lacing up a pair of Gigi Kobe 6 Protros, and last night, Curry was back with more NBA signature retros pre-game, suggesting that he’ll continue to mix it up on-foot for the rest of the season as he looks towards the future of Curry Brand.
Curry had 34 points in the Warriors’ road loss to the Orlando Magic on Tuesday, but it was his footwear during his tunnel walk and warmups that stole the show. Showing love to Magic legends of his youth, Curry put on a pair of white and black Reebok Shaqnosis for his trip from the hotel to the stadium, and then switched into a pair of volt green Nike Air Penny 2s for warm-ups.
The Warriors have had a middle-of-the-road start to the season, but Curry has been his regular superstar self, averaging 27 points in the early going. Despite his continued on-court success, Curry’s left-field sneaker sponsor shake-up has been the season’s biggest news for the world’s best shooter, and after a flood of rumors about a potential Nike deal thanks to his choice to rock Kobes, we haven’t seen nearly as much speculation that he’ll join Angel Reese for the Reebok revolution. Hey, anything is possible.
What’s more likely, though, is that Steph continues to play into the conversation, picking up iconic and rare retros from across the basketball sneaker landscape, past and present, to send messages about the opposing city he’s playing in, his favorite moments from NBA history, and, just maybe, an indicator of where he intends to bring Curry Brand next.
