Today, I finally got my hands on the Curry 4 shoes that I’ve been eyeing for a while. I rushed back home after work and couldn’t wait to open them up.

When I first opened the box, wow, the black and white colorway looked even better in person than online. I picked them up and felt how light they were – seriously, they’re incredibly light.
I spent some time checking out the details. The knit material felt super comfortable, and the synthetic paneling seemed like it would give some good support, which was cool. I also saw they had this speed plate for quick movements, which I was excited to try out later on the court.
- Super light, seriously
- Comfy knit material
- Cool speed plate thingy
After admiring them for a bit, I decided to try them on. They fit really well, felt snug but not too tight, which was a relief. I walked around my apartment a bit to get a feel for them. They felt really stable, and the cushioning was just right – not too soft, not too firm.
I couldn’t resist taking them for a quick spin around the block. The grip was amazing, I tried some quick turns and stops, and they handled great. The support was definitely there, my ankles felt secure, which was awesome for my quick changes of direction.
Later that evening, I headed to the local basketball court to really put them to the test. I played a few pickup games, and honestly, these shoes were a game-changer. I felt quicker, more agile, and my movements were more fluid than usual. The speed plate really did its job; I could feel the difference when I was driving to the basket.

After a couple of hours of playing, my feet still felt great. No soreness, no discomfort, which was a huge plus. The breathability of the knit material kept my feet cool and dry the whole time.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m super impressed with the Curry 4s. They look great, feel great, and perform even better. I can see why they’re Stephen Curry’s signature shoes – they really live up to the hype. I’m already looking forward to my next game with these bad boys on my feet. They made me enjoy playing even more, and I felt like I had an edge on the court. It was like I was moving quicker and jumping higher. These shoes are definitely worth it if you’re looking for something that’s both stylish and performance-driven. I’m stoked to keep playing in them and see how they hold up over time.
