Stephen Curry Wears Jason Williams Nike to Kings Game

Stephen Curry nodded to former star Jason Williams by wearing a yellow pair of Nike Zoom Hyperflight PEs in Friday’s road game at Sacramento, according to Nick DePaula. Williams recently signed with Nike and saw a purple and black Hyperflight re-released in 2026. Curry, now a sneaker free agent after ending his long Under Armour partnership last November, has been cycling through shoes while more than 70 pairs he has worn head to auction at Sotheby’s. He missed Thursday’s game for knee management but returned Friday, as the Warriors sit locked at the No. 10 seed and must win two road play-in games to reach the playoffs. Merlin sees the sneaker move as more than style. It is a signal of legacy and market testing for Curry and of Nike reasserting ties with streetball lineage. The auction and footwear swaps feed narratives, yet Golden State’s fate will hinge on Curry’s health and two tough road victories.
