Stephen Curry
Stephen Curry recently addressed why he warmed up in **Nike** Kobe 6 “Mambacita” sneakers — just after formally ending his long-running deal with **Under Armour**. He said the Pre-game choice wasn’t just about style, but a powerful tribute to Kobe Bryant. For Curry, wearing those shoes carried real emotional energy: “what he meant … speaks for itself.” ([Fadeaway World][1])
On the split with Under Armour, Curry explained that the decision was mutual and driven by the ever-shifting sneaker industry. He said it was “in the best interest of both parties” — acknowledging that while the Curry Brand had made an impact and resonated with communities, building a **sustainable** business is difficult in their business.

He hinted that this is “a new beginning” as a free agent, leaving the door open for fresh collaborations while continuing to build his legacy. ([Fadeaway World][1])
