Stephen Curry Teams Up with Freedom, Not Just Sneakers
Stephen Curry and Under Armour have amicably split after a 13-year holohoop saga crowned by the Curry 13 sneaker dropping next February, their bittersweet goodbye gift to the sneaker universe. Amid Under Armour's plot twist of declining sales, executive musical chairs, and a $255 million restructuring saga (which includes separation drama costs—talk about break-up fees), CEO Kevin Plank vows to 'get back to basics,' aka ditch his $75 million stock-sharing All-Star basketball prince Captain Curry. Spoiler: Curry's brand is free to find new BFFs, while Under Armour's stock continues the long, slow descent to retail purgatory, down 50% this past year, proving heartbreak affects markets too.
