Steph Curry Wears Shaq, Penny Hardaway Shoes in Photos amid Sneaker Free Agency Rumors

After the end of his sneaker deal with Under Armour, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry appears to be enjoying his newfound freedom.

Curry was photographed wearing Reebok and Nike sneakers from the signature shoe lines of Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Orlando Magic:

Unfortunately, wearing the sneakers of the former Magic legends wasn't enough to extend the Warriors' win streak to four straight games, as Orlando outlasted Golden State 121-113. Curry put on a show at the Kia Center with game highs of 34 points and nine assists, but ESPN's Anthony Slater reported that he tweaked his ankle in the first half, and his status for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat is in question.

On Thursday, Curry and Under Armour announced the end of their partnership that began after he departed from Nike in 2013. Curry Brand will continue to move forward as an independent endeavor, and Under Armour will continue to release his shoes through 2026, but he's now officially a sneaker free agent.

"Under Armour believed in me early in my career and gave me the space to build something much bigger and more impactful than a shoe," Curry said in a news release. "I'll always be grateful for that."

He continued: "What Curry Brand stands for, what I stand for and my commitment to that mission will never change. It's only growing stronger. I'm excited for a future that's focused on aggressive growth with a continued commitment to keep showing up for the next generation."

Fans will certainly be watching to see which pair of shoes Curry breaks out next as his sneaker free agency continues.
