Curry 4 is a lightweight performance shoe engineered for perimeter players, excelling in court feel and responsiveness, but the poor cushioning and sizing issues require careful buyer consideration
Distinctive retro design with strong visual appeal, considered the most recognizable signature shoe in Curry's lineup
Lightweight (343g), excellent court feel and responsiveness, outstanding stability - ideal for guards who don't prioritize cushioning
Poor cushioning performance (worst in recent years according to reviewer), unsuitable for players requiring significant impact protection
Sizing runs large requiring half-size down, minimal ankle support despite high-cut design, moderate durability not recommended for concrete courts
Curry 4 is a scientifically-designed basketball shoe with excellent fit and support for various foot types, but note the longer sizing, average breathability, and moderate outsole durability
Excellent upper fit and lockdown with thick heel and ankle padding, dual-layer tongue design prevents lace friction and heel slippage
Well-engineered midsole with full-length Cushlon cushioning and forefoot Zoom Air unit, stiff midfoot plate provides stability with flexible forefoot
Shoe runs long with potential heel slip; narrow fit wearers should downsize half a size; breathability is average with ventilation only at arch area
Narrow outsole tread pattern limits durability; 4g weight loss in 30-second abrasion test indicates moderate wear resistance; compression holes may reduce foam longevity

Released in 2017, Curry 4 arrived in the Curry line during its sleekest and most streamlined pre-HOVR phase. The design intent centered on giving Steph a lighter, more natural-feeling knit shoe that still preserved great traction and support. Notable versions or talking points included its minimalist knit look and strong fit/traction reputation. In community memory, the shoe is usually remembered for one of the better-fitting Curry models, with excellent court feel and very good grip. It also helps mark a specific turning point inside that line, because the shoe shows what the brand prioritized at that moment rather than simply copying the previous release.
