Kyrie Irving took center stage during the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend, debuting his second signature sneaker with ANTA: the ANTA KAI 2. Filling in for injured teammate Anthony Davis, the Dallas Mavericks star used the high-profile event to unveil the much-anticipated sequel to the ANTA KAI 1.
This low-cut model showcases intricate embroidery and bold zigzag patterns along the midfoot, inspired by Irving’s Standing Rock Sioux heritage.
Standout details include furry shoelaces, which add a playful, textural contrast and geometric stitching that creates depth and dimension across the overlays. The jagged midsole pattern, a hallmark of ANTA’s bold basketball aesthetic, injects a futuristic edge while ensuring top-tier performance on the court.
Initial images reveal a mauve and lavender nubuck upper, offering a soft yet durable feel. The iridescent green eyestay trim and metallic purple accents provide a striking contrast, while Native American-inspired motifs further highlight the shoe’s cultural significance.
