The ANTA KAI 1 SPEED is a remarkable basketball shoe co-designed by Kyrie Irving and his father. It was released in September 2024.
The shoe features a full-length nitrogen-infused midsole, providing excellent responsiveness and energy return. The upper is made of engineered mesh with stitching reinforcement and hot-melt glue on the toe for protection. Its outsole is designed with a herringbone pattern, offering great grip and durability, suitable for both indoor and outdoor courts. There's a large-area TPU plate in the midsole for good torsion resistance, and TPU panels on the sides add containment and torsional rigidity. Priced at $125, it's a great choice for basketball players who focus on speed and agility
