The ANTA KAI 2 Speed represents a new stage in the world of Kyrie Irving signature shoes. Designed to translate speed and agility into real-life sensations, it combines performance, aesthetics and innovation. The silhouette was developed in collaboration with Dallas Stokes, a renowned designer in the world of sports design, to create a shoe that exudes speed, even when standing still.
At first glance, the KAI 2 Speed impresses with its low, uncluttered profile. Unlike more massive models, this version reduces the superfluous to offer a fluid, aggressive line, cut out for players who live on speed and changes of pace. Its low-profile design ensures direct contact with the sol, essential for the fast, unpredictable moves that are so characteristic of Kyrie Irving's game. The split "K11" logo on the tongue and heel reinforces the shoe's identity, while recalling the player's unique personality.
The upper is made of a breathable, lightweight, sturdy mesh, reinforced with contrasting overlays that structure the shoe without weighing it down. These elements provide both style and support, creating a balance between flexibility and stability. The dynamic arrows on the sides symbolize speed and forward energy, emphasizing the philosophy of this model: go faster, go further.
Inside, the KAI 2 Speed relies on a lightweight construction and a snug lacing system that perfectly envelops the foot. The fit is firm without being rigid, offering a feeling of security during acceleration and sudden stops. This precision fit ensures optimum comfort, whether for hours of play on the parquet or for everyday outdoor use.
Underfoot, the reactive midsole plays an essential role. It releases energy with every touch, enabling explosive direction changes and instant acceleration. Combined with a robust rubber outsole featuring a herringbone pattern, it guarantees reliable grip on all types of surface, from smooth parquet to urban asphalt. Players benefit from optimum traction, essential for crossovers, step-backs or rapid dribbling.
The KAI 2 Speed debuts in an elegant, punchy "Mint/Orange" color, soon to be joined by three vibrant variations designed to appeal to both performance and style enthusiasts.
More than just a shoe, the ANTA KAI 2 Speed is a true extension of Kyrie Irving's game: unpredictable, explosive and always on the move. A pair designed for basketball players who want to dominate the pace of the game while asserting their identity on and off the court.
