It has been more than one month since Stephen Curry ended a 12-year partnership with Under Armour, and the star Warriors guard has rocked an array of iconic sneakers on the court as the NBA’s newest “shoe free agent.”
Most recently, Curry sported two versions of Devin Booker’s Book 1 sneakers on Thursday before Golden State’s 99-98 loss to the Phoenix Suns. He wore the vibrant yellow “Chevy” Book 1’s during pregame warmups before switching to the more colorful “What The” Book 1’s during the game.
Booker appreciated the sneaker tribute in his on-court postgame interview and acknowledged Curry asked him to send a few pairs his way after his breakup with Under Armour.

After the game, the four-time NBA champion autographed his pregame warmup shoes and gave them back to Booker to display during his postgame press conference. Booker admitted to reporters he wants to see the greatest shooter of all time join the Nike family.
Curry didn’t have the most memorable night offensively with only 15 points on 3-for-13 shooting, but his 1-on-1 defense against Booker gave fans a quick glimpse of the new Book 2s that Nike is set to drop in 2026. Booker also struggled early in the game but finished with a team-high 25 points.
The Warriors have a chance to avenge their nail-biting loss against the Suns on Saturday night at Chase Center, and now it remains whether Curry will stick with the Book 1’s in the rematch or switch to something new.
