Photos and short videos from March 18 show Curry warming up in an all‑white Brooks Glycerin Max 2 during the Warriors’ Boston appearance, a sighting first reported by HotNewHipHop and amplified on social media via Nice Kicks. (hotnewhiphop.com) Under Armour and Curry publicly announced their separation on Nov. 13, 2025, and Under Armour said it will still release the Curry 13 and related colorways through October 2026 while Curry Brand becomes independent. (prnewswire.com) ESPN reported Curry is now a sneaker free agent with the freedom to wear other brands while he and Curry Brand explore new retail and partnership options. (espn.com) Footwear industry coverage has listed Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Puma, On/Hoka and international companies such as Anta and Li‑Ning as realistic suitors actively being mentioned in trade and fashion outlets. (wwd.com) Tracking sites and sneakers pages — including Sole Retriever and Complex — have catalogued multiple post‑split appearances in non‑Under Armour models, noting sightings of Nike and Jordan pairs as part of ongoing deal speculation. (soleretriever.com) The Brooks Glycerin family is marketed as Brooks’ plush, max‑cushion running trainer rather than a basketball signature silhouette, which frames the March warmups as a casual/running‑shoe appearance rather than confirmation of a Brooks partnership.
