ANTA KAI 1

The ANTA KAI 1 is Kyrie Irving’s first basketball signature shoe with the Chinese basketball brand ANTA. Its debut release came in March 2024 with the “Artist On Court” colorway. Following the severance of the relationship between Mavericks star Kyrie Irving and Nike, the future of the immensely popular line of Kyrie Irving shoes was entirely in doubt. Enter Chinese sneaker brand ANTA, who signed the Dallas guard to a long-term deal towards the middle of the following year.

2024, at long last, brought the fruits of their relationship to the public. That initial “Artist On Court” was an instant sell-out, a feat matched by nearly every follow-up edition since. The current list of colorways is as follows:

“KAIVERSE” (China-exclusive, limited to 323 pairs)
“Enlightened Warrior”
“Playoffs White” & “Playoffs Navy”
“Mother’s Day” 
“Playoffs Energy”
“Green Grails” 
“Garden State”
“Kaleidoscope”
“Yin” & Yang”
“Chief Hela”

Game 1 of the Finals brought the first images of an offshoot model to the public when Kyrie sported the Ja Morant Shoes, formally introduced on September 28th. Additionally, a lifestyle shoe, alternatively reported as the KAI 1 Hela or KAI Tribe, is expected later this year.

Below is our latest coverage of all signature ANTA Kyrie Irving shoes, including new colorways and upcoming release dates.
