Stephen Curry doesn’t care what anybody thinks about his new signature shoes from Under Armour because he’s wearing them at Golden State Warriors practice.
Earlier this week, Golden State Warriors two-time reigning NBA MVP point guard Stephen Curry released his new signature shoes under the Under Armour brand.
The nearly all-white shoes drew much criticism from social media for being frankly too bland for the signature shoe of an NBA superstar.
Curry doesn’t seem to care what the social media critics think of his new signature shoes, as he was seen on Sunday afternoon rocking the much maligned pair of Under Armour Curry Two Low “Chef” kicks at the Warriors’ practice leading up to Game 5 on Monday night.

The San Francisco Chronicle’s Warriors beat reporter Rusty Simmons was able to capture Curry setting up for a three-point attempt at practice in his low-top signature Under Armour shoes.
Focused on the task at hand of being able to close out the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals on Monday night at Oracle Arena, Curry has to play like he did in Game 4 to win back-to-back NBA Championships for the favored Warriors.
Curry and his Warrior teammates will have to play a man down on Monday night, as starting power forward Draymond Green has been suspended by the NBA for his on-court skirmish involving Cleveland’s LeBron James in Game 4 on Friday night.
Though not having Green available does hurt the Warriors chances of winning the best-of-seven series in five games, Golden State does feature two of the NBA’s best outside shooters in league history in Curry and starting shooting guard Klay Thompson.
The focus of Game 5 may be on the absence of Green, but that could be a big mistake for Cleveland in not giving Curry and his shoes the team’s undivided attention. A few made three-pointers from Curry and Oracle Arena could erupt into a frenzy en route to another NBA Championship for Golden State.
