Steph Curry was all set to debut two unreleased colorways of the Curry One, his signature shoe with Under Armour, during NBA All-Star Weekend’s Saturday night festivities. That plan seemed easy enough. That is, until the sneakers were stolen.

An Under Armour spokesman confirmed to ESPN.com’s Darren Rovell that the shoes were indeed taken. They were signed for on Friday when they arrived in Brooklyn, but went missing before being delivered.
Nice Kicks’ George Kiell III provides more details on the situation.
Steph was set to wear the “Candy Reign” Under Armour Curry One for the Foot Locker Three-Point Contest and the Charlotte Hornets-esque “Father to Son” pair for the Shooting Stars Competition.
“UA sent them out the quickest way possible as they usually do, but somehow the shoes magically went missing,” our source stated. “Steph almost missed a chance to debut his two favorite pairs this weekend, which would’ve have been a disaster.”
Luckily for Curry, Under Armour was able to get him backup pairs of the shoes ahead of Saturday’s events.
