Complex's weekly series Don't Believe the Hype takes a look at what's hot and what's just hot air. Sneakers, clothes, tech, food—nothing is safe. When it comes to sneakers, there is perhaps no bigger stage in the world each year than the NBA Finals. So since the games themselves between the Warriors and the Cavs have been one-sided, what happens when you pit the top sneakers from each team's top player against each other? Speedy finds out if the LeBron James 15 from Nike or the Steph Curry 5 from Under Armour takes home the NBA trophy.

O please if Currys shoe had a Check on it you would all be over it. Reason why people dont like it its because its under armor and not Nike or Adidas.

I like the simplicity of Curry's shoe. The multicolor is nice and I'm a fan of the low. The Curry 5 can go so well with joggers because of that lower profile. I cannot get with the high LeBron 15s. If in a low, probably and in a different colorway.

As a diehard Nike/JB fan who's fav player is a tie between Steph and Klay it's crazy to want a UA shoe, but I love it doesn't have a big UA plastered on it.

I am getting flamed still by +Hegotkickz for wanting them but I may have to show they look well on foot for him to believe me.

The Curry’s art straight trash! Ain’t nobody finna rock those. Those look like some Ross Clearance specials!

I would pick the Curry 5. It's more my style.

I wish they would do these preference tests without telling the test subjects which shoe is which.

I like those Currys. I've been wanting top like ua but every time i try them on they just don't feel good. Roomy toebox. I'll try those c5s on though. Off the court if def rock the curry. Brons are pure court shoes to me

Why don't you do giveaways ? I'd be super cool
@onnaperc10 6 years ago

Well also, they probably didn’t know the blister problem with the Curry 5, makes the curry shoes go from very comfortable to, get these shoes off of my feet asap

LeBron 15s is his best silhouette in a while (14s were alright) they have so many dope colorways. The LeBron watch colorways like the griffeys and South beach were 🔥🔥🔥
