Stephen Curry and Under Armour broke up after partnering since 2013, leaving him as a sneaker free agent. In his first Golden State Warriors game since, he went with the late-great Kobe Bryant and Nike in warmups in an awesome move.

Curry dropped 46 points in his final game in UA sneakers on Wednesday where he had the perfect 6-7 joke afterward, and his wife Ayesha Curry melted over a video of him after the game.

Curry and the Warriors had a group stage game of the NBA Cup at the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, and instead of his own Curry brand sneakers for UA, the 37-year-old four-time champ rocked the Kobe 6 “Mambacita” editions for his daughter Gigi before tip off.

It was cool to see but strange at the same time, and more importantly, signified an end of an era for Curry and UA.

Curry made an estimated $300 million in his time with the athletic appereal company. He was the biggest NBA name by far with the company that also has the likes of Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies, and Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts and Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL.

If there was a way to go out, Curry certainly made a statement with his Nike Kobe kicks honoring Gigi Bryant.
