Golden State Warriors' Steph Curry has been making waves in the sneaker world this season. Recently, he was spotted sporting a custom shoe from ANTA, a brand with Kyrie Irving at the creative helm.
On Sunday, a post by KicksFinder showcased Curry in the ANTA Sneakerverse SV Eclosion Type 2, complete with the Curry Brand logo. The two-time MVP donned these kicks before the All-Star Game on February 15, even catching up with Irving while wearing them.
Curry's sneaker journey has been intriguing since he became a free agent in the footwear world. After parting ways with Under Armour in November, he's been seen in various brands, including Nike, Adidas, and Jordan. Despite the buzz, there's no official deal with ANTA yet.
Currently, Curry is sidelined with a right knee issue, diagnosed as patellofemoral pain syndrome, or "runner's knee." The Warriors have set March 1 as the date for his injury re-evaluation.
Interestingly, Curry debuted Kyrie Irving's ANTA KAI 3 sneakers last month. After a matchup with the Mavericks on January 22, Curry shared that he sought Irving's blessing to wear the shoes, given Irving's ongoing recovery from a torn ACL.
"It's all about mutual respect and admiration," Curry noted. "Our battles have pushed us to elevate our games. Even though we don't spend much time together, the respect is there."
Beyond Irving's sneakers, Curry has also been seen in the signature shoes of former teammate Klay Thompson, Devin Booker, Anthony Edwards, NBA legend Kobe Bryant, and WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu.
