Most of the NBA stars are sneakerheads and Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is no exception. Just like Michael Jordan and LeBron James, Steph also holds a fair share of the market in the sneaker industry. Competing against Air Jordans and Nike Lebrons, the 4x NBA Champion dropped Curry Brand with Under Armour. While everyone has a backstory for their love for sneakers, the Dubs superstar has a peculiar story with his dad, Dell Curry.

Dell Curry has had an impressive 16-season-long NBA career representing multiple teams. Notably, he represented the Charlotte Hornets (Charlotte Bobcats then). As an NBA player, Curry senior sported eye-catching sneakers throughout his career, which eventually left a last impression on his son.

Stephen Curry narrates a hilarious sneaker story

Dell Curry’s sneakers may have impressed Stephen Curry in his childhood, but he was nowhere near his father’s foot size. However, the adamant tiny kid convinced himself to sport his dad’s size 14 sneakers. In a recent interview with the Complex, the Warriors superstar narrated a hilarious story about size 14 sneakers.

The interviewer asked Steph when sneakers did actually matter to him, standing near a pile of sneakers. Steph began narrating his love for sneakers from his High School. Following that, he reminisced about the period when he convinced himself that his foot size was 14. He said, “Pops play in the league, he wore a size 14. I had a bigger foot as a kid growing up but I didn’t definitely wear a 14 but I convinced myself that I was a 14 so I can rock all his shoes.”

Later, he revealed how he sported size 14 sneakers all the way through his rookie season from college despite his actual shoe size, which was 12.5.
