Golden State Warriors star point guard Stephen Curry made a surprising move last year to leave Nike to sign an endorsement deal with Under Armour.
It seemed like Kevin Durant was going to follow in the same footsteps this week until re-signing with Nike for a massive deal. Some folks joked about why KD would stay with Nike, most in part due to many think the Under Armour shoes are very ugly.

Stephen Curry, even while all the way overseas as he competes in the 2014 FIBA World Cup for Team USA, caught hold of that tweet and defended his sneakers.
Here's what he wrote, with Jones' response aftewards:

Nice to see this turn into a normal conversation instead of two men arguing over sneakers.
However, in regards to Curry's Under Armour shoes ... no, sorry, I just couldn't wear them.
