Sneaker-Free-Agent Steph Curry Honors Magic Icons With Reebok and Nike, Then Returns to Curry Brand in Loss

His pregame homages double as a public show of new independence.

Overview

  • Curry arrived at the Kia Center in Reebok Shaqnosis and ran warm-ups in Nike Air Penny 2s as nods to Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway.
  • At tip-off he switched back to his Curry Brand volume seven signature shoes.
  • He finished with a game-high 34 points and seven threes, but Golden State fell to Orlando, 121-113.
  • Curry recently ended his longtime Under Armour deal and is a sneaker free agent, with his signature line still slated for releases through 2026.
  • Former guard Austin Rivers noted the unusual sight of Curry in Kobes and likened the moment to Kobe Bryant’s 2002–03 sneaker free-agency season.
