Stephen Curry is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. With a resume that features three NBA championships, two league MVP awards, six NBA All-Star appearances and three All-NBA First Team nods, his playing legacy is secure.
His shoe legacy on the other hand? That’s just a mess. Ever since he first signed with Under Armour it has been one train wreck after another.
This week Curry released his latest in a long line of disasters.
Fans immediately weighed in.
You really gonna sit there with a straight face and call these shoes great? The logo itself is ridiculous, who the hell looks at that and thinks Steph Curry? Every star player for Nike has shoes id wear & none of them are the guy I have season tickets to watch. Give me a break. pic.twitter.com/IfplyteQPH

To be clear: honoring the ‘We Believe’ Baron Davis-led Warriors is always a good move. That team was epic, and them taking down the No. 1 seeded Dallas Mavericks is one of the greatest basketball feats of this past generation.
That being said – ugly is still ugly, and Curry’s shoes are consistently bad. It’s great that all parties involved want to honor the ‘We Believe’ Warriors, but it should be done in a way that doesn’t make people’s eyes bleed.
