There are plenty of stars in the NBA.
But there are only a handful of true superstars. Aside from out-of-this-world talents and abilities, the superstar transcends the game being played on the hardwood. The superstar is no longer just a player on a basketball team–he is a brand. Among all of the partnerships and sponsorships that an athlete will find themselves to be a part of, none is more indicative of their superstardom than a signature shoe.
After the 2012-13 season, Stephen Curry made the switch from Nike to Under Armour. Once again, Curry was underestimated. Nike–which sponsors stars like LeBron James and Kevin Durant–didn’t feel that the 6’3 point guard could sell a signature shoe. Curry, who had struggled to find a shoe that would protect his ankles, took his underdog status to Under Armour, a relative newcomer on the basketball scene.
Curry sported the Anatomix Spawn that season. He then traded those in for the UA Clutchfit Drive which he used for the first half of the 2014-15 campaign. But his superstardom grew too large for those shoes and Under Armour rewarded him with own signature kicks: the Curry One. Each pair beautifully crafted to optimize performance while telling Steph Curry’s story.
They made their debut during All-Star weekend as he wore the “Candy Reign” colorway en route to his first Three-Point Contest victory and the “Dark Matter” colorway during his second All-Star game.
While the Warriors took the top spot in the NBA, the Curry One was a top seller for Under Armour, selling out online and in-stores everywhere. And as Curry’s story unfurled, Under Armour released several commemorative colorways to honor the milestones the point guard reached.
With so many different kicks, let’s take a look at what (I think) are the Top 5 colorways of the Curry One.
