Stephen Curry had a rough Game 3 against the Cavaliers.
But not as rough as the “Chef Curry” version of the Curry 2 Low shoe, which were promoted and became a side topic during Game 3.
Curry’s Under Armour signature shoes are a huge success, selling domestically at a rate slightly better than LeBron James and Kobe Bryant (those two are stronger internationally, and nobody is touching Jordan yet). Curry and his shoe sales are fueling profits for Under Armour.
But not all versions of his shoes are so beloved. Check out the reaction to the “Chef Curry” shoes from around Twitter (hat tip Zach Harper at CBSSports.com, who probably has a pair of these).

These are Dad shoes, but I bet Dell Curry loves them. Even the younger Curry did.
