These signed and inscribed Under Armour Curry One PE sneakers were worn by Stephen Curry on May 15, 2015, during Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Memphis Grizzlies. This was the clinching game for the Warriors in a hard-fought series and a pivotal moment in the franchise's first championship run of the Stephen Curry era.

The 2015 Western Conference Semifinals served as the first real test for the young Warriors squad on their road to the title. Through the first three games, the Warriors fell behind 2-1, and the 67-win team did not look as invincible as they had in the regular season. Curry remained unfazed, and the Warriors responded by winning the next three games with historic performances, capping the series with the clinching victory in which he wore these sneakers.

Curry recorded a double-double in Game 6, finishing with 32 points, 6 rebounds, and 10 assists as the Warriors beat the Grizzlies 108-95. With 32 points and 10 assists in a 108-point team effort, it was a classic Curry performance, doing everything needed to bring the win home. He also hit a full-court buzzer beater at the end of the third quarter, one of the signature highlights of his first MVP season.

This release commemorated Curry's first NBA championship and cemented the Curry 1 as a legitimate championship-level performance shoe that delivered on basketball's biggest stage.

Going Deeper | Steph Curry

Selected by the Golden State Warriors as the 7th overall pick of the 2009 NBA Draft, Curry quickly emerged as an elite scoring and playmaking threat as a point guard. He averaged 17.5 points, 5.9 assists, and 4.5 rebounds and finished second in the Rookie of the Year award voting. Although Curry’s skillset and potential shined bright, the Warriors failed to make the playoffs in his first three seasons. This all changed after the Warriors drafted shooting guard Klay Thompson in 2011. Soon thereafter, Curry and Thompson emerged as the most dangerous shooting backcourt in the game and were dubbed the ‘Splash Brothers’.

After two consecutive playoff appearances in 2012-2013 and 2013-2014, Curry and the Warriors finally broke through in the 2014-15 NBA Playoffs. The Warriors’ balanced offensive attack of Curry, Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala enabled them to defeat LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers for the franchise’s first championship since the 1974-1975 season. In addition, Curry was voted league MVP.

Curry has helped the Warriors win three more championships in 2017, 2018, and 2022. His career accomplishments to date include eleven All-NBA selections, two MVPs, one Finals MVP, two scoring titles, and being named to the 75th Anniversary Team. The NBA 75th Anniversary Team was selected by a blue-ribbon panel of players, coaches, general managers, and sportswriters who voted on the 75 Greatest Players in NBA History. Only 11 active players were selected for the team, including Stephen Curry.

In 2021, Curry passed Ray Allen to become the all-time leader in three-pointers in NBA history. He is widely considered perhaps the greatest shooter and one of the best players of all time.

Curry played a major role in Team USA’s run to a gold medal in the 2024 Paris Olympics. He hit huge shots down the stretch in the Gold Medal game against France, quelling any French hopes of a comeback victory on home soil. This was Curry’s first, and likely only, Olympic gold medal with Team USA.

At the time of cataloging, Curry holds career averages of 24.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game. A two-time MVP, four-time champion, and perennial All-NBA selection, Curry’s sustained excellence and longevity continue to define an era of basketball history.
