Stephen Curry’s had a phenomenal career, but if he’s not careful he’s going to be remembered as “that NBA player with the horrible shoes.”
Last summer Twitter absolutely ripped apart the Under Armour “Curry 2 Low” for looking like dad sneakers, renaming them things like “Shuffleboard Lows” and “Danny Tanner Lows.”
Well, Steph recently dropped a new shoe, the Under Armour “Curry 3 Oxblood,” and though the criticism is slightly different, it’s no less overwhelming ... or hilarious. Here’s a sample of some of the reactions.
Steph just gonna keep dropping sneakers that look like Oldsmobile arm rests

No matter what he does on the court, it looks like Curry will never be able to redeem himself with the sneakerheads.
