Anta KAI SPEED 2 "Turquoise" - Basketball Shoes Silver Turquoise

The Anta KAI SPEED 2 "Turquoise" are Kyrie Irving's speed-focused signature basketball shoes, known for their lightweight design, responsive A-Shock Pro cushioning, and excellent court feel. They are designed for quick, agile players who prioritize speed and sharp directional changes. 

Key Features and Performance

Cushioning: The A-Shock Pro foam midsole provides a soft and springy yet responsive feel, with quick feedback on initial movements. Reviewers note, however, that the cushioning capacity is lower than bulkier setups, making it more suitable for lighter guards.

Traction: The full-length rubber outsole features a detailed herringbone or wave pattern inspired by racing tires, offering reliable multi-directional grip on clean indoor courts. Be aware that the translucent versions can pick up dust on dirtier courts and may require occasional wiping.

Support & Stability: The shoe features strong overlays, a solid heel counter for lockdown, and an X-shaped nylon plate in the midfoot that enhances torsional rigidity. The low-cut silhouette helps keep the player close to the ground, improving ground feel and explosive power.

Materials & Fit: The upper is constructed with a breathable mesh, reinforced by overlays for durability. According to reviewers like those on Famujisneaker, the KAI Speed 2 generally runs true to size, but players with wide feet may benefit from going up a half size.
