Rocking a synthetic upper and updated cushioning through the midsole, the KAI 2 Speed is meant for maximum response in a sneaker while giving the wearer full traction and control. The shoe's are built to withstand hard and fast cuts, much of what Kyrie Irving's game is predicated on.
The KAI 2 Speed will drops in White/Black, Navy Blue, Black, and Teal/Orange colorways to begin. Each pair features contrasting streaks throughout the uppers to further the design, complete with ANTA's most technological treaded outsole. All in all, these shoes are great-looking when worn on the court and offer great performance capabilities at their price point.
