If you've spent any time on the Internet in the last four days, you may be asking yourself, what are these sneakers?
These are the Under Armour Curry Two Low sneakers that were unveiled last Thursday. The new "Chef" design was absolutely obliterated on social media. The NBA social media universe completed mocked the all-white appearance and sturdy heel. In short, these shoes were immediately labeled as the sneaker of choice in a senior citizen community.
Before Game 4 of the NBA Finals last Friday, Twitter had about 24 hours to go off, and it did.

But then when Curry took the floor Friday, fans remembered why he does not care what people say on the Internet. The two-time reigning MVP, in standard black and golf Curry Twos, led all scorers with 38 points in Game 4, as the Warriors won 108-97.
And he won Twitter back:

After the victory, Curry finally had a chance to address his cyber-bullied shoes. He said he thought they were "fire."

Curry backed up his defense of his signature shoes by wearing them at practice on Sunday with "Straight fire" written on them:
