The NBA regular season and playoffs are full of unexpected twists and turns. Last night was another example of the league's unpredictable nature as the Los Angeles Lakers eliminated the Golden State Warriors in six games.

With the end of Golden State's season, it means the conclusion of an incredible year in sneakers for Stephen Curry. With the help of Curry Brand and Under Armour, the league's best three-pointer shooter of all time debuted multiple new and retro models in exciting colorways on the hardwood this season.

While we hate to see Curry's phenomenal campaign conclude, it is time to spotlight his best sneakers of the year. Below are Curry's top ten basketball shoes worn throughout the 2022-23 NBA season.

Curry 10 'More Magic'

Curry's tenth signature sneaker was a victory lap a decade in the making. As part of the celebration, Under Armour and Curry Brand reprised several fan-favorite colorways, including the 'More Magic'.

The Curry Flow 10 'More Magic' was a call-back to the Curry 4, which drew inspiration from Curry's magic on the court. The shoes were released in January 2023 for $160 and are still available in select sizes on the Curry Brand website.

Curry's season in sneakers ended on a high note last night. The family man honored Ayesha and Sonja by wearing the Curry 1 Low FloTro 'Mother's Day' shoes on the court.

The blue and pink shoes celebrate the influence and impact of moms everywhere. Luckily for fans, the 'Mother's Day' colorway just released and is available for $150 on the Curry Brand website.

Curry 10 'Northern Lights'

Fans were treated to a gift right before the holiday season. The Curry 10 Flow 'Northern Lights' dropped in December 2022 for $160. The black, purple, and teal colorway celebrated the most wonderful time of the year.

Sneakerheads quickly ate up the 'Northern Lights' colorway at the time of its release. However, the silver lining is the colorway was also applied to the Curry 1 Low FloTro, which is still available for $150 on the Curry Brand website.

Curry 2 Low 'Chef Curry'

Who can forget how Curry's infamous all-white 'Chef Curry' shoes were scorched on social media in 2016? Unfazed, Curry leaned into the criticism, calling the shoes "straight fire," and created a custom pair with flame emojis.

Curry got the last laugh as the Curry 2 Low 'Chef Curry' was released to critical acclaim in March 2023. Luckily for fans, the shoes are still available for $150 on the Curry Brand website.

Curry 10 'Treasure Island'

Just as Treasure Island physically connects San Francisco to Oakland, the 'Treasure Island' colorway offered fans new ways to connect with Curry Brand. The colorway celebrated sustainability with a special bracelet and intentional details implemented throughout the shoe.

The Curry Flow 10 'Treasure Island' was released in December 2022 for $160. Unfortunately, the highly anticipated shoes sold out online, but we hope to see the colorway make another comeback in the future.

Curry 10 'Unicorns & Butterflys'

A recurring theme in Curry's signature line is his love of family. We saw multiple shoes pay tribute to his wife and daughters, including the Curry Flow 10 'Unicorns and Butterflys'.

The pink and yellow colorway was a call-back to previous player-exclusive shoes that honored Riley and Ryan. The 'Unicorns and Butterflys' colorway was released in April 2023 and is still available for $160 on the Curry Brand website.

Curry 10 'Double Bang'

One of Curry's most iconic moments came on February 27, 2016, when he hit a devastating 32-foot buzzer-beater against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Legendary announcer Mike Breen exclaimed, “BANG! BANG!” and a new catchphrase was born. 

Naturally, Under Armour and Curry Brand had some fun with the moment by releasing the 'Double Bang' colorway on the Curry Flow 10 and the Curry 2 Retro. Both shoes are still available on the Curry Brand website.

Building on the success of the 'Double Bang' release, the 'Splash Party' colorway appeared on the Curry Flow 10 and the Curry 2 Retro. The brightly-colored shoes celebrated Curry's 35th birthday in March.

The reimagined look is inspired by all birthday festivities: cake, confetti, candles, and sprinkles. While the Curry 2 Retro sold out, the Curry Flow 10 'Splash Party' is still available for $160 on the Curry Brand website.

Curry 10 'Iron Sharpens Iron'

Curry made headlines last August when he debuted his tenth signature sneaker in the 'Iron Sharpens Iron' colorway. Two months later, the shoes officially launched in the symbolic colorway.

Under Armour and Curry Brand said the Curry Flow 10 would continue changing the game for good, and the shoes lived up to the promise. The launch colorway quickly sold out online, but it is another colorway we hope to see reappear in the future.

Curry 10 'Sour Patch Kids'

Last fall, Curry Brand and Sour Patch Kids collaborated on the Curry Flow 10 and matching apparel. The 'Sour Patch Kids' colorway was already highly anticipated, but they hit a new level of popularity when BTS Rapper Suga received an autographed pair following a preseason game in Japan.

The Curry Flow 10 'Sour Patch Kids' was a work of art and easily our favorite colorway to appear on the model. With another stellar year in the books, we start anxiously awaiting the next model from Curry's signature sneaker line.
