Each time a player pulls out a special colorway of a sneaker and goes on to do great things, they are forever etched in history. Be it Michael Jordan or LeBron James, both players have had some really iconic basketball sneakers.
Stephen Curry is no slouch. The Golden State Warriors’ greatest-ever player has had some iconic moments of his own. And each time his shoes have been a talking point.
We are still reeling off from his epic performance in game 7 of the first round and we cannot stop talking about his sneakers. They look good!
Stephen Curry Met Gala Shoes: The Inspiration behind the now iconic sneakers was Michael Jackson
Some things if done right can become an instant classic, an immediate icon. Stephen Curry’s Under Armour Curry 10s are just that. Why are they so iconic?
Well partly because they took inspiration from his classy and exuberant Met Gala outfit from 2021. Another reason is that the outfit was inspired by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Connecting the dots, we can say Michael Jackson inspired Stephen Curry’s shoes.
Quite a stretch of the imagination. Curry’s shoes feature the same gold trim that his Versace suit did. If your shoes draw inspiration from Versace, chances are they will look magnificent.

The Warriors proclaimed victory in emphatic fashion. Curry dropped the hammer on his opponents and cemented his legacy as among the greatest offensive forces the NBA has ever seen.
But more than that, he ushered himself into the pantheon of greats. He now has a seat among the game’s greatest and if he manages to lift another title, he might just throw down the gauntlet for the throne.
