Sports Style: Steph Curry
Alison Pegg
“Look Good. Feel Good. Play Good.”
Steph Curry’s philosophy for fashion has definitely carried over to his play on the court.
But enough about the two-time MVP’s moves on the hardwood, it’s his moves off the court that have the fashion world starting to take notice.
From date night to red carpets, All-Star to Friday night walk-ups, Steph’s coming into his own style just as his game and celebrity is on fire. But the great thing about his style is that it’s just like him, it’s super approachable. Dressing for a 6’3” frame is much different than a 6’9” frame, and Steph’s resulting style is more relatable than the flash and brashness of his #NBAStyle counterparts. He’s a superman dressed as a stylish everyman, thus making his appeal to designers and fashionistas alike extremely universal.
Like any modern NBA player, Steph also has to look out for his bottom line, you got it - his endorsements. He balances rocking his now-signature Chelsea boots with the latest street style kicks from Under Armour – as evidenced in his latest editorial with Parents Magazine (fun fact: Steph has helped Under Armour’s US footwear sales increase by 754%). Additionally, after Express signed him to be their first athlete brand ambassador, Curry takes extra steps to make sure he sports the Columbus-based retailer in his off-the-court look in addition to fronting their ads.
These high street brands are what makes Steph all the more likable and his hi-low style is all the rage because of it. Working with childhood friend and stylist Sheraine Robinson, Steph rides the line between superstar luxury, hip-hop streetwear and San Fran hipster, never veering too far one way or the other. My favorite of Steph’s fashion ensembles? When he rocked trendy internet retailer Everlane pre-game to the court one night, mixing it with Acne and Dior.
And while it’s upsetting to not see the MVP knocking down threes during the playoffs right now, we are getting another look at his style on the bench, a more dressed up “business” version of his signature hi-low street style.
