Get ready to learn Chinese buddy

TLDR : Steph just made a billi

Makes sense why he’s been visiting China so much. Curry Camp was in China, he was also there with his brother during all star break a few months ago (Steph couldn’t play because of runners knee)

woah this is a bomb shell, I thought Nike had him locked in

I know its late career, but Way of Wade’s got a huge hold on actual hoopers, Nike is already struggling selling sneakers they are in trouble with basketball now

Li-Ning is THE best selling sports brand in China BTW, effectively their homegrown Nike

Sorry Anta is the biggest brand in China, Li-Ning is 2nd best selling domestic brand and 4th best selling overall sportswear brand 

Li-Ning towards the most money

I thought he was leaning towards Nike, turns out he was Li-Ning towards China.

Maybe I’m out of the loop but this company was started by former Olympic athlete Li Ning (李宁)

Jimmy Butler has a line with them

Curry in China 2 years ago.

Curry is already one of the most popular athletes in China. This will only increase now that Curry Brand is aligning itself with a Chinese company.

And his shoes shall be called the Skyfuckers

What the fuck could they have offered him?

He joins Dwayne Wade, Jimmy Butler, FredVanmeat, and CJ McCollum as signature athletes under Li-Ning

Maybe the goal is to be the #1 athlete on the #1 shoe brand in China?

I just can’t help but think that Nike’s bag would’ve been deeper. Curry seems to be perpetually disrespected and underrated.

Curry x LeBron Nike Commercials would’ve hit like crack tho even with them being 77 years old each

The fuck are these comments do the people here actually dont play basketball? lining has some the best basketball shoes in recent years unlike nike that just try to remake kobe multiple times and charge for overprice when they have the same factory coming from china.

Speak a little Chinese for ‘em, Stephen

A lot of hoopers wear the Way of Wades. As a runner I run in a couple pairs of Li-Nings, specifically the Red Hare 9 Ultras for long run training and Feidian 6 Elites for marathons. They are every bit as excellent as the top end brands.

Im a big fan of Way of Wade (tho I like their older colorways more, the newer ones are one of the best out there in performance). So seeing a big star like Curry sign is huge.

China Klay, meet China Steph.

It makes sense honestly, Nike/Adidas was never gonna pay someone who’s in the backend of their career but Steph is a GOD in China.

It’s a win for us here in SEA, Li-Ning is easily accessible with the online selling platforms we have (Shopee) and can get it on a discounted price. Hell yeah!!

Aren’t Li-Ning one of the better basketball shoe brands out there?

The Ball brothers are gonna be in China shoplifting them shoes 👞 👟 😂

yeah, this dude is not retiring anytime soon

This sub not escaping the allegations of not being hoopers if y’all don’t know about Way of Wade and Li-ning ball shoes.

good badminton shoes tbf

For how much?

The Chinese shoe companies are killing it. My kids would rather wear Rigorer, Li Ning and Anta than Nike. Apparently they’re way more comfortable and perform better too. 

They haven’t tried any 361 yet but I’m sure they’re going to ask for some joker shoes soon. 

I’m surprised, I thought Anta would have thrown the bag at him and reunited him with his splash brother!

Yall gotta realize this is far less on Nike/Adidas and more so Li-Ning throwing him an absolute BAG

Especially, given his age, no way they could compete

Curry is probably going to be one of the wealthiest athletes ever when it is all said and done. Partnering up with China right when they are assuming global economic dominance.

Looking forward to wearing the Li-Ning Skyfucker IV shoe

Li-Ning is making better and higher quality shoes than Nike and Adidas. So this is not a surprise.

Speak a lil Chinese for ‘em, Steph

Get the money printer going. Good choice on his part for business AND basketball; huge market and the shoes are legit

Steph I’ll dm you my Venmo

China so hot right now.

Li-Ning actually makes high quality products across the board. I wish they were more readily available outside China, but I’m definitely grabbing some stuff when I head over to Chengdu next year.

Underarmour fumbled the bag big time in their basketball shoes line. The dudes failed to innovate, not just with their tech but more importantly, with their designs/silhouettes too.

Cool tidbit about his Chinese nickname

Let me explain how amazing Chinese character is. Curry in Chinese is 库里 pronounced by kuli. Correspondingly his new Chinese nickname is 库日天, the second character 日 of which means ‘fuck’ here and the third one 天 of which means the sky. By putting these two characters 日 and 天 in stack we get a new character 昊. So we call him 库昊 too. Furthermore, the second character of his original name in Chinese 里 also has similar meaning. The character 里 can be separated into two characters, the character 日 with the meaning of the sun here and the other one 土 with the meaning of the ground. The character 土 sticks into the character 日 and it generates the character 里. Actually Curry fucks the sun from the ground too.

Li Ning and Anta hands down the best basketball shoes.

Great 10 years of nothing fitting correctly because we have sizes from S-5XL where nothing makes sense

Anyone that followed Steph’s sneaker free agency could smell this move coming from a mile away. He wore Li-Nings for many games, and a few times switched to them half way through a game. You could tell that he liked the feel and performance of the shoes.

For anyone who doesn’t know, Li Ning makes some incredible shoes with some incredible materials. Dwane Wade’s shoe line “way of wade” is with Li Ning and it’s great. This isn’t just some random or cheap company
