Even if he’s not on the court, Stephen Curry is still busy rolling out his signature sneaker, the Under Armor Curry 7.
The first Curry 7 colorway, “UNDRTD” dropped November 1, with more editions of the shoe on the way. The next shoe set to release on November 23 is already grabbing the attention of some players across the league and the two-time MVP is a fan.
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Donic called on the “Sour Patch Kids” Curry 7 for his game versus the San Antonio Spurs Monday night. Doncic dropped a career-high 42 points with a triple-double while rocking Curry’s signature shoe.
Curry took to Twitter to show respect for the Slovenian’s shoe choice.
I like his taste! #curry7 https://t.co/xYnPaTtlek

The reigning Rookie of the Year has yet to sign a signature shoe deal of his own, and according to Nick DePaula of ESPN, this is the first time he hasn’t gone with Nikes in-game.
Doncic will now welcome Curry’s struggling Dubs to town right when he’s starting to heat up. In November, the 20-year old is averaging a triple-double with 30.6 points, 11.6 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game.

How the Warriors can slow down a phenom like Doncic will shoot to the top of Steve Kerr’s long list of current challenges.
If the former third overall pick is superstitious at all, it’s a safe bet he’ll don the Curry 7 kicks again after going off for a 40-point triple-double the first time he wore the shoe.
