Stephen Curry, one of America’s most iconic athletes, continues to make waves both on and off the court. The Golden State Warriors star, who is also the centerpiece of Under Armour, further cemented his influence by launching his own sub-brand under the company: Curry Brand. This venture focuses on sportswear and has already made headlines by signing Sacramento Kings’ star De’Aaron Fox as its first athlete.

Fox recently debuted his first signature shoe with the Curry Brand, the Fox 1s. While the sneakers generated significant buzz after being revealed, reactions have been mixed. Many fans criticized the design, pointing out similarities to Kevin Durant’s KD4s and KD7s.

Curry, however, showed his unwavering support for Fox amidst the chatter. He was seen sporting the Fox 1s himself, offering a clear endorsement of the brand’s latest release. The sneakers are set to hit the shelves on December 6, poised to make their mark in the footwear market.

Steph was seen practicing in the shoes as he posted a video of him hooping with the caption, “Had to rock a pair 🤷🏽🦊 @swipathefox #CBPresident“. The post quickly sent social media into a frenzy, drawing reactions from fans and fellow athletes alike. Among them was LA Lakers rookie Quincy Olivari, who expressed his admiration for both the sneakers and Curry, commenting, “Facts, them joints od.”

This public display of support by Curry not only showcased his confidence in the Fox 1s but may have also swayed public opinion. Despite initial criticism about the design resembling Kevin Durant’s KD4s and KD7s, fans appear to be warming up to the sneakers after seeing their favorite superstar wear them.

Beyond just backing De’Aaron Fox, Curry’s gesture reflects a deeper significance. By promoting the Fox 1s, he’s not only bolstering Fox’s confidence but also contributing to the growth of Curry Brand—a project that holds personal meaning for the Warriors veteran. Social media’s evolving reactions will be key to seeing how this collaboration impacts the brand and Fox’s standing in the sneaker world.

“Let me get a pair” – Fans Go Wild Watching Steph Curry Rock the Fox 1s

The Curry Brand’s latest launch is going to hit the market soon in December and it was only obvious Curry would show his appreciation and support for his brand’s first acquisition. This has made the fans drool over the Fox1s, as one wrote on the Warriors star’s post, “Those are super clean!!” talking about the crisp colorway featuring different shades of purple with neon green on the outsole and on the tongue.

Whereas, another fan cannot wait to get his hands on the sneaker as he commented, “Yeah I need these“, the Fox 1s are set to launch on December 6th with a $120 price tag so fans can grab a pair for themselves pretty soon.

 

A lot goes into creating a signature shoe and Steph Curry has definitely helped De’Aaron Fox create a work of art according to a comment the shoes are, “Those shoes r so sick” as they look quite appealing. It’s a no-brainer that these will be going off the shelves in almost no time at all.
