Stephen Curry Wears Klay Thompson Shoes vs Mavericks

Stephen Curry honored Klay Thompson by wearing Thompson's Anta KT 11 "Christmas" shoes during the Warriors game against the Mavericks. Curry, now a sneaker free agent after parting ways with Under Armour on Nov. 13, has made a habit of wearing signature shoes tied to opponents and peers, from Anthony Edwards to Devin Booker and even Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway. The gesture was a clear nod to the pair who played together from 2011 to 2024 and won four championships. Merlin sees the moment as more than a fashion stunt. It reads like a public thank you and a gentle reminder of a special bond that shaped an era for Golden State. With Curry free to choose his footwear, expect more curated salutes that double as storytelling and brand signals for a player who knows how to command attention without saying much.
