Vanessa Bryant praised Stephen Curry after the Golden State Warriors star honored Kobe Bryant by wearing Mambacita x Mamba sneakers during pre-game warm-ups, a gesture that drew attention as he recently ended his decade-long partnership with Under Armour.

Bryant shared footage on Instagram showing Curry in the black-and-white Kobe 6 Protro Mambacita edition as the ace guard prepared to take on the San Antonio spurs on November 15. Vanessa added simple a caption, “Steph Curry is wearing Nike Kobes,” highlighting the tribute that connects Curry’s gesture to Kobe’s legacy and her family.

In a second story, Vanessa posted an image of Curry warming up in the Kobe 6 Protros with a two-word tribute, “Mambacita/Mamba,” alongside a praying hands emoji. Fans interpreted the post as her public approval of Curry’s homage to Kobe Bryant.

Curry officially ended his partnership with Under Armour on Thursday, making him a sneaker-free agent. While he can now pursue new brand deals, Under Armour will continue releasing Curry Brand products until the agreement expires in October 2026.
