Stephen Curry is currently a shoe free agent, and the Golden State Warriors star appears to be enjoying the freedom to wear whatever he wants.
Curry honored NBA legend Michael Jordan on Monday, wearing the “Flu Game” Air Jordan 12 in the tunnel before the “Last Shot” Air Jordan 14 for warmups. Jordan notably wore those iconic shoes against the Utah Jazz, whom the Warriors are facing on Monday.
Curry signed with Under Armour in 2013, but the two announced earlier this month plans to go their separate ways. As part of the split, Curry will have full ownership of his signature “Splash” logo.
Curry’s final shoe with the brand, the Curry 13, will release in February, with additional colorways being available through October 2026.
Curry has been the face of Under Armour basketball for more than a decade, but now he’ll become synonymous with another sneaker brand to close out his career. Which brand that will be remains to be seen, but in the meantime, he’s enjoying getting to rock other shoes.
Last week, Curry paid homage to a pair of Magic legends when the Warriors faced Orlando. He wore Shaquille O’Neal’s signature Reebok shoes and Penny Hardaway’s Air Penny 2.
Curry also wore a pair of Dwyane Wade’s signature shoes, the Way of Wade 1, before the Warriors played the Miami Heat.
After facing the Jazz on Monday, the Warriors will take on the Houston Rockets. Perhaps Curry will pull up to the arena wearing Kevin Durant’s shoes.
Curry’s looming shoe decision is certainly a storyline to watch this season, but his main focus is competing for a title. The 37-year-old has continued to play at a high level despite his age, putting up 28.6 points per game this season.
Golden State has struggled through the early going, starting the year 9-9 as it looks to get things moving in the right direction.
