At the risk of not sounding objective at all, the Curry 4 is probably the best sneaker Under Armour has made for Stephen Curry. Unlike the first three, which received their fair share of criticism and ridicule on the internet, the Curry 4 has been able to make it through meme-free (so far).

The Curry 4 is the first sneaker with the NBA Champ and two-time MVP that he oversaw from start to finish.
“Comfort was always one thing for him, but what he really expressed was that he wanted to have kind of a seamless transition between his foot and the shoe,” Neumann said of the sneaker’s slimmed-down look. Here, the designer breaks down all of the important tech features of the Curry 4.
