Stephen Curry is only the ninth athlete in NBA history to have ten signature shoes. He joins the likes of Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant on that list. The Curry Brand of signature sneakers has been improving by the year, and wear testers have even called it their “favorite shoe of the year” for 2022.

With the Curry Flow 10 debuting in October 2022, Steph has had multiple opportunities to showcase the greatness of Flow, the cushioning technology used by UA. The 10 has been in the lineup since Curry 8, and it is now in its best iteration yet.
But it has also not seen the light of day on a court for the past 11 games since Curry was out for that duration with a shoulder injury. On his highly anticipated return, the fans were treated to not one, but two pairs of shoes.
Steph brought back an icon: the “Bang Bang” colorway, made instantly popular because of his performance against the Miami Heat in 2016. Dropping 42 points and a game-winner, he got Mike Breen’s famous “BANG BANG” commentary, hence the name.

The Curry 10 and the UA Curry 2 were the best part of the game against the Phoenix Suns
Aside from the 160-dollar shoe, the Warriors struggled to compete with the depleted Phoenix Suns. Damion Lee, an ex-GSW player, torched them. Despite having 24 points, Stephen Curry was poor. Overall, he had a bad shooting night and a +/- of -19.
That’s the second-lowest score it’s been all season for him. It was not the Curry Flow 10s that were affecting his play, because they are built great. The traction is one of the best for a shoe that doesn’t have rubberized outsoles.
Although the fans did not see the “Bang Bang” colorway in the game, they loved watching a cult classic take the court again.

Stephen Curry was a sore miss on the Golden State Warriors squad
Statistics may say that the Golden State Warriors won 6 games and lost 5 when Curry was out, but the reality is something else. They struggled quite a bit, huffing and puffing to the finish line. Games that should have been easy wins became mountains to climb.
His support on the touchline was there for everybody, but they’d much rather have him on the court.
Well, that all can be proven to be hogwash because the Warriors just lost to a Phoenix Suns team without their main players. And Curry was playing too. 5/15 for 3-point attempts is poor, but no worries; Curry won’t be rusty for long.
