Who could have anticipated the remarkable influence a simple piece of equipment could have on a sport? Once NBA players catch sight of Stephen Curry, the point guard for the Golden State Warriors, chewing on his mouthguard, it’s already too late for them.

Whether he’s munching on it while shooting free throws or flinging it across the court in frustration, Curry’s mouthguard has become an integral part of his on-court persona, empowering him to unleash his skills and thrive in the midst of intense competition. Almost as famous as his smooth jump shot or his signature shimmy celebration, Curry’s mouthguard possesses a distinct aura that has prompted Curry Brand to create a shoe for fans to chew on, symbolizing the unique power and flair his mouthguard brings to every game.

The Curry Brand ‘Mouthguard’ colorway will be released in two styles: the Curry 11 and Curry Retro 1. Both basketball shoes will become available on Monday, April Fool’s Day, paying homage to Stephen’s mischievous side and his love for playful antics, particularly regarding his mouthguard. The limited-edition collection can be purchased on the Curry Brand website and select retailers.

The Curry 11 showcases dual-density UA FLOW technology for unparalleled comfort, lightweight construction, and exceptional grip. Additionally, it features an external 3D-molded TPU heel counter for enhanced support and fit. The durable UA Flow outsole offers an improved court feel, enabling swift cuts and rapid changes in direction.

On the other hand, the Curry 1 boasts a lightweight upper design with structural support, while the external heel counter ensures a secure foot placement, eliminating any sliding. Charged Cushioning absorbs impact and converts it into responsive agility. The midfoot TPU shank provides added lateral stability, and the multidirectional herringbone outsole delivers superior court feel.
