Stephen Curry and Under Armour shocked the sneaker world in November when the duo announced their decision to end their 12-year partnership. Since then, Curry has been wearing sneakers from every brand under the sun, both pre-game and on the court. Now, those pairs are hitting the auction block.
Auction house Sotheby’s confirmed that more than 70 pairs of sneakers worn by Curry during his sneaker free agency period are being auctioned off. Proceeds from the sales will benefit Curry and his wife, Ayesha’s Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation, which supports children’s well-being through meals and various resources.
Some of the highlights from the collection include the “Oregon PE” Air Jordan 3 Tinker, game-worn and signed “USA” Kobe 6 Protro, Slam x Adidas Crazy 2 “30th Anniversary” collab, and his viral Timberland boots.
“I’ve always believed that every pair of sneakers tells a story. This collection really captures a unique chapter for me during my sneaker free agency this season,” Curry said. “From the tunnel walks to the on-court warm-ups to the games across the country, I was excited to spend this time shining a light on players over the years who have left their mark on the sneaker game.”
Bidding for Curry’s sneaker free agency collection begins on April 13 and ends on April 28. For those interested in placing a bid, click here.
