Performance Technology
The Kai 1 line is engineered for high-level basketball performance, sharing several core technologies with other high-end Anta models like the Shock Wave 6 Pro:
· Cushioning: Utilizes a responsive midsole designed to cushion against high-impact movements. Anta's standard performance technology for this tier typically includes NitroEdge foam, a nitrogen-infused material that provides approximately 82-84% energy return and high wear resistance.
· Upper Construction: Likely utilizes XIAN FIBER, an innovative system of ultra-strong fibers (such as nylon and carbon fiber) that provides support, impact protection, and flexibility to adapt to the foot's shape.
· Stability: Features a TPU stabilizer in the heel to enhance support during quick cuts and lateral movements.
