Steph Curry is the heart and soul of the Golden State Warriors. He is having the best season of his career, and his team's NBA-leading record of 43-10 is showing the world that they are for real. This is the perfect time for him to release his signature shoe as he stands in the MVP candidate spotlight; introducing to you the Under Armour Curry Ones! UA has definitely stepped its game up with this pair: adding creativity, well-made materials, and having superstar player Steph Curry to back it. When you first put it on, they feel similar to the Nike Hyperdunks in the way they meld to your feet, but the Curry Ones are made of a more stable material called anafoam which gives it more stability. Very nice grip on the soles, and colorways are on point! Yes you heard me right, I bought BOTH colorways that were released as I couldn't get enough of them. The "Home" colorway was a given that I'd buy them, but the "Dark Matter" colorways were so hot I couldn't resist (purple is my fav color). Please check out the pics below for this double-trouble post!
Picture day with "Home" and "Dark Matter" colorways!
Side and bottoms.
Look like rocket ships with the "SC" on the back.
Who can argue with royal purple and neon green?
Purple camo = win.
Dark Matter: Hypothetical kind of matter that cannot be seen with telescopes but accounts for most of the matter in the Universe. Just like Steph's game, you can't see it but you know that it's enormous.
Toes are clean.
1932 is the year when Jan Oort discovered Dark Matter.
The year Steph was born.
Warriors colors, protect this house!
4:13 Philippians: "I can do all things..."
Wonderful metallic blue toes.
Steph writes this on every pair of shoes before he plays. "I can do all things..."
Check out the anafoam upper.
A reminder to Steph to lead his teammates to victory.
MMTB = Make my teammates better.
Candid shot.
"The League's Most Unguardable Player"
Stephen Curry is arguably the best player in the league right now. Averaging 23.6 points, 4.7 boards, 7.9 assists, while shooting 48% FG, 40% 3-Pt, and 90% FT, he's been taking the league by storm. Amazing behind the back passes, masterful handles, and assassin-like shooting from the 3 point land, he is a magician that's at the top of every team's scouting report. This Warriors team is breaking records like no other with Steph at the helm: Best start for a rookie coach ever, franchise most consecutive wins (16), franchise most consecutive home wins (19), Klay's most points in a quarter by any player in NBA history (37 pt, 13-13 from the field, 9-9 from 3-pt range), the first pair of Warriors starting an All-Star game since 1967, and #1 in points per game, assists, field goal %, and 3 point %!! Clearly the leading candidate for MVP, Steph chose the perfect time to introduce his own signature shoe, which was showcased during the All-Star game festivities. Only time will tell where this Warriors team will be placed in history, but we are certainly enjoying the journey. Thank you Steph and the Warriors for the memories so far.

If I said I wasn't excited about this pair, I'd be totally lying. To me, it's not about the hype, the price, or what people are saying about them; I buy them for me. In regards to this pair, I've wanted this one since I was in high school when it dropped in 2002, and it's great to finally have it as part of my collection. Introducing to you, the Air Jordan VII "French Blues"! To the eye they look like a simple pair of shoes, but the beauty is always in the details my friend. With its french blue and flint grey accents, this shoe exhibits a balance of simplicity and uniqueness. From its asymmetrical tongues, pure white bodies, and triangular "23" donned on the back of the shoes, this shoe is unquestionably a classic. Please check out the pics below and see for yourself!
Can't never go wrong with the side profile view.
"23"
This polygonal design is so clean, clearly screams 1990's.
Asymmetrical design giving it a unique look.

Just in case you don't know whose shoe it is.
1992: The Man, The Dream Team, The King
1992 was a huge year for Michael. With a ring under his belt, he came out just as hungry to defend his crown. Averaging a ridiculous 30.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 6.1 assists on 52% shooting, Michael was named MVP of the league (while also capturing the scoring title), but he was far from done. Michael and his Bulls went on to win the NBA title in 1992 against the Trailblazers in a 6 game battle. In Game 1, Michael was simply unstoppable, leading to the famous "MJ shrug" as he didn't even know what was going on. He would also capture the Finals MVP that year finishing out that series on another ridiculous stat line of 32.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 6.5 assist on 52.6% shooting. Although the accolades were stacked up from an NBA perspective, Michael would soon take part on one of his most memorable teams in the history of basketball and perhaps, all of sports.

1992 was the year that professionals in the game of basketball were allowed to play in the Olympics and we would never look back. The stage was set for an explosion that the world had never seen the likes of before.As the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame called it the "greatest collection of basketball talent on the planet", only mere mortals could ever dream of such a collection of players; names like Magic, Bird, Robinson, Ewing, Stockton, Malone, Barkley, and of course Michael. The talent gap and tenacity was just overpowering for a young basketball world, as the Dream Team destroyed other teams by an average margin of 44 points. Devastating dunks, razzle-dazzle passing, and the star power that only a galaxy could contain, the Dream Team was almost unbelievable. Capturing the gold at the end was a given, and the team was forever cemented in basketball history and will probably never be repeated ever again. Since 1992, the basketball world has finally caught up with the U.S., and they can thank the Dream Team for setting the bar so high. Michael was of course the center piece of this team, and he did it all in his Air Jordan VII's. Please see the pics below!
