Steph Curry Is Entering a Bold New Sneaker Era

Steph Curry Is Entering a Bold New Sneaker Era

Published by Jenni Sidey

The wait is over. After Stephen Curry split from his longtime shoe sponsor Under Armour in November (taking his Curry Brand shingle along with him), sneakerheads were left wondering where the generational NBA superstar would set up shop next. Was a return to Nike, the brand he began his pro career with, in the cards? Would he go across the street to Adidas, or perhaps link up with the hoops upstarts at New Balance? And most importantly: After years of lackluster kicks at UA, would the Chef finally get a signature model worthy of his magnetic personality and landscape-altering talent? Now, following a season spent rocking a slew of cult classics from across the basketball-shoe spectrum (many of which he recently auctioned off to support his foundation), the Golden State Warriors icon has finally given us a definitive answer: Steph Curry is officially a Li-Ning man, penning a reported $400-million, 10-year contract with the Chinese sportswear giant. If you’re surprised Curry didn’t link up with any of the other more obvious names in the game, …

The 11 Rarest and Most Random Kicks From Steph Curry’s Sneaker Auction

The 11 Rarest and Most Random Kicks From Steph Curry’s Sneaker Auction

Published by Jenni Sidey

Ever since the Golden State Warriors were knocked out of the NBA play-in tournament a couple of weeks ago, there have been nonstop questions about whether the franchise’s championship window has closed, whether it’s time to consider a true rebuild, whether Steve Kerr will return as head coach. One thing that’s absolutely certain: Steph Curry just ended one of the greatest seasons in sneaker history. After splitting from his longtime shoe sponsor Under Armour in November—bringing an abrupt end to one of the blandest signature lines of all time—Curry rebounded by going on a generational footwear run, sporting a slew of all-time classic kicks and IYKYK rarities both on the hardwood and in the pregame tunnel. His kicks of choice often bore deep connections to the cities he was playing in (like a pair of Vince Carter’s Shox BB4s in Toronto) or his own history (Klay Thompson’s Anta KT11 for the All-Star Game). And given that Curry still remains a sneaker free agent, the future Hall of Famer was able to hop from Nike to …

Caleb McLaughlin Voices Vivid Animated Sports Fable

Caleb McLaughlin Voices Vivid Animated Sports Fable

In this era of sports celebrities being paid megabucks, it’s not surprising that a kid would want to become a star player. And by “kid,” I mean a young goat, of course. Sony Animation’s new effort concerns one such goat, Will, who aspires to play in the big leagues despite his small stature. (The title has an obvious double meaning.) Inspired by Stephen Curry’s struggle to succeed despite numerous obstacles — the basketball great serves as producer and has a small voice role — GOAT begins with a very young Will watching a game of roarball (a sort of everything-goes basketball, played by animals) and proclaiming to his mother (Jennifer Hudson) that it’s what he wants to do when he grows up. GOAT The Bottom Line Doesn’t live up to its title, but plenty of fun. Release date: Friday, February 13Cast: Caleb McLaughlin, Gabrielle Union, Aaron Pierre, Nicola Coughlan, David Harbour, Nick Kroll, Jenifer Lewis, Patton Oswalt, Jelly Roll, Jennifer Hudson, Sherry Cola, Eduardo Franco, Andrew Santino, Bobby Lee, Stephen CurryDirector: Tyree DillahayCo-director: Adam RosetteScreenwriters: …
