Big shouts to
@nickengvall.bsky.social
for allowing us at
@slate.com
to reprint his piece re: Steph Curry leaving Under Armour, how big of a blunder that was for the company, and just how much they undervalued him for his 13 years there. (Last night, Steph wore Kobes pregame and dropped 49.)

NEW | The world has achieved nearly a tenfold increase in solar power in the ten years since the #ParisAgreement ☀️ Solar rose from providing 1% of global electricity in 2015 to 8.8% in the first half of 2025. Emerging economies now lead this growth 📈

As a guy who plays pickup 2-3x a week, I'm always checking out what other ppl are playing in. UA sold a sh*t ton of Curry kicks to kids and adults alike. Steph's legend overshadowed the weak shoe design. That's crazy power to possess. Yet, they still never fully valued what they had.

Very good! When I took part in All-Star Weekend events in SF last season, it wasn’t lost on me how little presence Under Armour had. The only thing we really saw from them was an exhibit in Shoe Palace showing different Curry sneakers over the years.

Saw this car at COTA for WEC back then, when it first made it to the US. It’s still one of my favorites. Those headlights are menacing.

There's something freeing about accepting that not every problem needs solving. In cars and in life, some issues can just... exist. They can be acknowledged without being addressed. They can be present without being urgent.

That's the voice, right? The one that keeps you from taking your car to meets because it's not done yet. The one that keeps you from posting your build because someone might point out what's wrong with it... (fuck that voice btw)

I’ve always used cars as a way to work through stuff. Project cars give me something to focus on when my brain won’t shut up, and writing helps me figure out why I’m like this.
