The million-dollar son of the NBA is far from slowing down in his successful journey in the league. Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is only the second active player in the league to have more than 1o signature shoes. Ahead of his 15th season, Curry, who claimed to be in his prime, dropped the 11th edition of the shoe line. Moreover, he sent a two-word message to his 54 million followers on the occasion of the launch.

Steph joined hands with the global sports brand, Under Armour in 2013.

Teaming up with the global giant, he launched his first signature shoe UA Curry 1 in 2015. Now, the partnership cruising through it’s eleventh edition, Curry 11, which was officially launched on Monday.
