Basketball shoe technology has changed dramatically as a result of Steph Curry and Under Armour’s collaboration, which constantly produces cutting-edge and functional designs. But the history of Stephen Curry’s iconic sneakers goes beyond their most recent iterations. Fans and collectors hold a particular place in their hearts for the legendary retros, such as the Curry 4, which perfectly encapsulated the spirit of Curry’s incredible NBA career. The Warriors were winning back-to-back NBA Finals at the time of the Curry 4’s launch, which makes it very noteworthy.

The Championship Mindset, the latest incarnation of the Curry 4 Retro, honors the spirit of tenacity and victory. This high-top model’s design combines athletic prowess and elegance with a blend of relaxing cream mesh and metallic gold tumbled leather. The gold accents on the sneakers’ design offer a hint of elegance and serve as a symbol of victory.

Carefully chosen branding highlights the brand and the athlete. The Curry emblem, which represents Stephen Curry’s distinctive style and essence, is displayed on the insole as well as a pull tab on the medial side. A contrasting flash of color is added by the red Under Armour emblem on the heel. A cream foam midsole underfoot offers stability and cushioning—two things that are necessary for fast movements on the court. The “30” writing on the lateral heel, which references Curry’s jersey number, is a distinctive detail. A semi-translucent grey rubber outsole that guarantees traction and durability completes the design.
