What shoes did Stephen Curry wear tonight? Finding out more on Warriors star
Stephen Curry rocked bright pink kicks today when the Golden State Warriors faced off against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Chase Center on Sunday (November 12). The Curry 8s were bought out and the sharpshooter's sneakers were the cynosure of all eyes as they looked drop-dead brilliant with the city edition jerseys that the Dubs sported. However, the result wasn't in their favor as they went down 110-116.
The shoes labeled Curry 8 NM Pink were custom-created for the four-time NBA champion by Under Armour. According to the brand's official site the shoes were designed by Tom Luedecke, who has also come up with some of the designs for the Curry 9s that are out on the market.
On the game front, Stephen Curry's pink sneakers proved lucky from a performance front as he dropped 38 points, coupled with 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. However, it wasn't enough as the Warriors were outplayed by Anthony Edwards (33 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists) and Karl-Anthony Towns (21 points and 15 rebounds).
