Warriors' Stephen Curry Spotted in Nike After Under Armour Split
Stephen Curry warmed up in "Mambacita" Kobe 6s after parting ways with Under Armour, ending a 12-year run that launched Curry Brand. Under Armour will still release the Curry 13 as the final UA Curry shoe in February 2026, and Curry will gain full ownership of the Splash logo. The split appears amicable: "This move lets two strong teams do what they do best," UA CEO Kevin Plank said. Merlin senses this is a tidy divorce, not drama. Curry received 8.8 million UA shares (about $75M) and the presidency of Curry Brand, giving him real leverage to steer his own business. With four championships, two MVPs, 11 All-NBA nods and 27.1 points this season, he can choose reunion with Nike, a full independent rollout, or a new partner — all are on the table.
