Stephen Curry Rocks Anthony Edwards’ Signature Sneakers, Creating a Full-Circle Moment for NBA’s Rising Star
Stephen Curry has long been the face of his own signature sneaker empire, but during All-Star weekend in San Francisco, the Warriors legend flipped the script - and in doing so, gave Anthony Edwards a moment he won’t soon forget.
"Curry the GOAT… He doesn't know it but he really is me, His alter ego is me."

Curry showed up laced in the “Gold Medal” edition of the AE 1 Low - Edwards’ signature shoe - and for the Timberwolves star, it was more than just a fashion statement. It was a surreal, full-circle moment that took him right back to his roots.
Let’s not forget: Edwards grew up idolizing Curry. He wore Steph’s shoes in middle school, attended his basketball camp, and studied his game like a blueprint.
So seeing the four-time NBA champion and widely considered greatest shooter of all time rocking his kicks? That hit different.
“I felt like a kid again,” Edwards admitted. And you could see it - the swaggering, confident young star was suddenly just a fan again, soaking in a moment he never imagined would become reality.
This wasn’t the first time Edwards made it clear how much Curry meant to him. He’s called Steph the GOAT before, but in true Ant fashion, he added his own twist: “Curry the GOAT… He doesn't know it, but he really is me.
His alter ego is me.” That playful confidence is part of what’s made Edwards such a fan favorite - not just with fans, but around the league.
He’s got that magnetic personality, the kind that lets him joke around with LeBron, KD, and just about every other star in the league without missing a beat. We saw it on full display during the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he and Curry helped lead Team USA to gold. That tournament didn’t just bring hardware - it built a real bond between the two.
In fact, Edwards was so hyped to see Curry wear his shoes during a game against the Warriors last season that he broke league protocol to sneak a phone onto the bench and snap a photo. That’s how much it meant to him. That’s how much it still means.
Now, with Curry in the middle of a high-profile sneaker free agency, every shoe choice carries a little extra weight. But this one?
This wasn’t just about branding or business. This was about respect - a passing of the torch, or at least a nod from one superstar to another.
And while the All-Star Game featuring the new Team USA vs. Team World format is still hours away, this viral sneaker moment may have already stolen the weekend.
For Edwards, it wasn’t just about seeing his shoes on an NBA legend. It was about seeing a dream realized - and maybe, just maybe, a glimpse of what’s next.
