Every great partnership eventually reaches its finale, and today marks the end of an era in the world of basketball footwear. Under Armour has officially unveiled the 13th and final signature shoe from NBA legend Stephen Curry, closing a chapter that has redefined performance and style on the court. But here's where it gets emotional—after 12 groundbreaking years filled with championships, technological breakthroughs, and cultural impact, Curry and Under Armour parted ways in November 2025. Yet, their legacy remains unshakable: they didn’t just make shoes; they transformed the game forever.
While Curry’s journey with Under Armour has concluded, the Curry 13 ensures the partnership ends on a triumphant note. This final installment kicks off with a playful collaboration tied to Curry’s upcoming children’s movie, followed by two fan-favorite colorways that celebrate the brand’s shared history. And this is the part most people miss—this isn’t just a shoe; it’s a tribute to a decade of innovation and storytelling.
Release Details
The Curry 13 drops on Friday, February 13, with a retail price of $140 for adult sizes. Available on UA.com, at UA Brand Houses, and select retailers, the shoe comes in five initial colorways, including three inspired by Sony’s film GOAT (hitting theaters the same day). These aren’t just sneakers; they’re a fusion of performance, culture, and cinema. The ‘Mane,’ ‘Will,’ and ‘Lenny’ colorways bring the film’s characters to life, while the ‘The City’ (black and yellow) and ‘Splash Party’ (all blue) pay homage to Curry’s roots and iconic playing style.
Tech Specs
Designed as a performance-first finale, the Curry 13 introduces a new silhouette packed with Under Armour’s most advanced basketball technology to date. Here’s the breakdown:
- HOVR+ cushioning for softer landings and explosive energy return.
- UA Flow for grippy, rubberless traction that Curry helped popularize.
- A3D molded chassis for unmatched stability and durability.
- Lightweight EVASPLASH cage that locks the foot in place, keeping players agile and grounded.
Controversial Question: Is the Curry 13 a fitting end to this iconic partnership, or does it leave fans wanting more?
Future Drops
The first five colorways are just the beginning. Additional releases and apparel collections will roll out through October 2026, ensuring the Curry 13’s impact extends far beyond its launch. But here’s the bold part—while this marks the end of the Curry Brand’s signature line, it also sparks debate: What’s next for Curry in the sneaker world?
