Stephen Curry Rocks Caitlin Clark Kobe 6 Protro
Stephen Curry kept the sneaker carousel alive by wearing Caitlin Clark’s player edition Kobe 6 Protro in Sunday’s 124-111 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. He remains without a shoe deal after parting ways with Under Armour last fall, so every on-court choice reads like a public audition. Merlin sees more than style. Wearing Clark’s PE links Curry to the WNBA’s cultural wave and shows how he can test fit, fan reaction, and branding without a contract. It sends a quiet message to potential partners that Curry controls the narrative while performance and timing will decide the next big shoe move.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
Odds of Curry signing a new shoe deal this season: 45%.
