The 2019-20 season has been a change of pace for the Golden State Warriors two-time Most Valuable Player, Stephen Curry. Injuries have turned Curry from one of Golden State’s key contributors to lead hype man on the bench. However, one thing has stayed the course— the All-Star sharpshooter’s shoe game has been on-point.
Curry may not be sprinting around the three-point line, but his signature Under Armour Curry 7 shoes have continued to roll out new releases. Whether it’s Willie Cauley-Stein, Seth Curry, or Luka Doncic, Curry’s signature shoe has been represented across the NBA world while the former champion is dealing with a hand injury.
The All-Star guard has released kicks themed around the Warrior’ fanbase and his favorite candy, but his latest drop is an ode to the Chinese New Year.
Embrace original styles of play.

The Under Armour shoe is two-tones of gray with a shiny gold accent line that’s capped off with a pink and green floral pattern on the heel.
According to Under Armour’s website, Curry got his inspiration from Chinese paintings.
The Curry 7 Chinese New Year colorway features a gray on gray upper comprised of several layered materials. An original floral pattern—inspired by Chinese shui-mo ink and wash painting—elevates the shoe’s back panel and a golden, flexible plate helps augment its white heel.
Curry’s new shoes are available for purchase at the Warriors’ San Francisco arena, the Chase Center. The Davidson product and Under Armour have a locker that displays each shoe as they’re released. Inside the locker, Curry shares his colorway inspiration for the new signature shoe.
