Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry is auctioning off around 70 pairs of his game-worn sneakers from last season, with all proceeds going to his EAT. LEARN. PLAY. Foundation that supports children's well-being in Oakland. The online auction, hosted by Sotheby's, runs from April 13 to April 28 and features shoes from brands like Jordan, Nike, and Adidas.

Why it matters

Curry's sneaker collection has become highly coveted by fans, and this auction provides a unique opportunity for collectors to own a piece of the two-time MVP's history while also supporting a good cause in the Oakland community. The auction also comes at a time when Curry's long-standing partnership with Under Armour has ended, leaving him free to wear any brand of shoe.

The details

After parting ways with Under Armour last fall, Curry has worn around 70 different pairs of sneakers from various brands during games, warmups, and tunnel walks throughout the 2025-26 NBA season. All of those game-worn shoes are now being auctioned off by Sotheby's, with bidding running from April 13 to April 28. The auction features shoes from Jordan, Nike, Adidas, and other major brands.

  • The online auction at Sotheby's runs from April 13 to April 28, 2026.
