Even with the regular season winding down, Stephen Curry's sneaker game remains as sharp as his three-point shot. On Thursday night, for the Golden State Warriors' home finale against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, Curry delivered a stylish nod to his longtime rival.
Although sidelined for the game, Curry made a statement off the court by lacing up a special pair of Nike iD LeBron 10s. This throwback choice is a deep cut from his own collection, dating back to 2013 when he was still under the Nike banner before his iconic partnership with Under Armour. It was a genuine "from the vault" moment that blended sneaker history with on-court rivalry.
The tribute didn't go unnoticed. When the two future Hall of Famers met courtside, LeBron James himself immediately spotted the classic kicks, famously remarking, "out the vault." It was a cool moment of mutual respect between two of the game's greatest players, highlighting how sneakers can transcend competition and become part of basketball's shared culture.
On the court, without Curry, the Warriors fell to the Lakers 119-103, with LeBron leading the way with 26 points and 11 assists. But the sneaker story was a winning highlight. With two regular season games left before the play-in tournament, fans will be watching to see what other gems Curry pulls from his legendary collection.
