Steph Curry’s sneaker free agency auction raises eye-popping amount for charity

Steph Curry’s sneaker free agency wasn’t just an homage to players past and present – it turned into a cause that raised almost $2 million for the Warriors star’s charity.After splitting with Under Armour following a 12-year partnership, Curry decided to dust off some of the basketball world’s most memorable pairs, and even some forgotten ones, during the 2025-26 NBA season.From Nike Kobe silhouettes to Puma Haliburton, to retro Jordans and Dada C-Dubbz, Curry, in partnership with Sotheby’s, auctioned “The Stephen Curry Collection, My Sneaker Free Agency,” which included 81 different pairs of shoes he donned for his tunnel arrival or sneakers worn on the floor during an NBA game.
