All The Sneakers Steph Curry Has Worn Since Becoming A Shoe Free Agent
- Steph Curry and Under Armour mutually parted ways, ending a long-term partnership.
It’s safe to say Steph Curry has been enjoying his new “shoe” freedom.
Stephen Curry and Under Armour were basically synonymous for over a decade. For the longest, Steph wasn’t just an athlete on the roster — he was the brand. From the Curry 1 all the way through the later Curry Flow models, he dropped 10+ signature shoes, headlined countless ad campaigns, and helped Under Armour punch way above its weight in the basketball sneaker wars. His shoes weren’t just for pros either — kids, hoopers at LA Fitness, and high school stars gravitated toward Currys because they were lighter, more affordable, and actually felt built for guards who move nonstop.
The Curry line also quietly changed the culture. While Nike and adidas leaned heavily into flashy silhouettes and hype, Steph’s shoes were about performance first. Low-tops became normalized. Grip mattered more than bulk. For a whole generation of young hoopers who didn’t look like LeBron or KD, Curry’s shoes also felt relatable. He made it cool to pull up from deep and lace up something that wasn’t considered a “traditional” basketball powerhouse brand.
But earlier this season, that era officially came to an end. Steph and Under Armour mutually parted ways after his long-term deal expired, with reports suggesting Curry wanted more creative control, a stronger basketball vision, and deeper investment into youth hoops and infrastructure — things he felt UA wasn’t fully aligned with anymore. After more than a decade together, both sides moved on quietly, but the shockwaves were immediate. One of the most influential players of all time was suddenly…a sneaker free agent.
Since the split, Steph has been moving like a man with options. No rush announcement. No loyalty pressure. Just straight hooping and auditioning. Night after night, Curry’s been rotating different sneakers, subtly testing cushioning, traction, and fit on the biggest stage possible. Fans, sneakerheads, and the basketball world at large have been locked in, dissecting every pregame photo and on-court clip like it’s NBA Free Agency…but for shoes.
The feedback? Mostly excitement. Some people love seeing Steph back in classic silhouettes. Others are intrigued by brands getting a rare shot at landing a generational icon after his legacy is already cemented. One thing’s clear: Steph Curry has flipped the power dynamic. Instead of brands choosing athletes, he’s letting the shoes prove themselves to him. Check out every sneaker Steph has worn since becoming a shoe free agent.
