Overview
- Curry arrived at American Airlines Center in Irving’s Anta Roots in the Ombre Blue colorway, then switched to the Anta Kai 3 for the game.
- He told reporters he contacted Irving beforehand to make sure wearing the shoe was acceptable since Irving has not worn it on court yet.
- Irving remains signed to Anta and is rehabbing a torn ACL, so his own on-court debut of the Kai 3 has not occurred.
- Curry finished with 38 points in the Warriors’ 115-123 loss to the Mavericks, underscoring that his footwear changes have not hindered performance.
- Since ending his Under Armour deal last year, Curry has been wear-testing a range of models from multiple brands to ensure game-ready feel and function.
