The [Golden State Warriors](http://time.com/4819583/golden-state-warriors-2017-nba-champions/) player is currently on an Asian tour with his shoe sponsor [Under Armour](http://time.com/4363052/steph-curry-two-chef-sneakers-twitter/), where he gives basketball clinics to fans. At one such clinic on Thursday, a fan dressed in one of Curry’s trademark Warriors jersey and shorts, hit a half-court three-pointer and to celebrate, emulated Curry’s victory rituals, including the babyfaced assassin’s [high kick that became a meme during the 2017 NBA Finals](http://time.com/4803028/steph-curry-kick-meme/). While Curry was on deck to celebrate his fan’s amazing feat, he was quick to notice that the fan was sporting a pair of Nike LeBron Soldier 10 shoes. Upon seeing them, Curry promptly ripped off the Nike shoes, threw them to the side, and immediately gifted him a pair of his own Under Armour shoes, the Curry 3Zero, which he later signed as well. Curry later took to his Twitter to share a video of the entire episode, captioning the post, “When you’ve got the range, you gotta have the right kicks.” > [](https://twitter.com/StephenCurry30/status/890450543277215744) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4876693/steph-curry-shoe-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4876693/steph-curry-shoe-video/"},"headline":"Watch Steph Curry Rip LeBron James Shoes Off a Fan's Feet for a Hilarious Reason","datePublished":"2017-07-27T17:46:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:45:56.416Z","description":"Chef Curry with the kicks","url":"https://time.com/4876693/steph-curry-shoe-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Basketball","viral","Lebron James","Under Armour","steph curry","Sports"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2b07f63bfee007a1/6988d772196cf47e10041353/steph-curry-rips-lebron-shoes-off-fans-feet.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2b07f63bfee007a1/6988d772196cf47e10041353/steph-curry-rips-lebron-shoes-off-fans-feet.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2017 NBA Finals - Game Five","caption":"2017 NBA Finals - Game Five","creditText":"Thearon W.
