The ANTA KAI 1 has quickly become one of the more sought-after performance basketball sneakers over the last year as Kyrie Irving has managed to amass a loyal cult following through his play on the court and personality off of it. With Luka Doncic sidelined for the Mavericks over the last month, he's also had to step into a prominent role as their team's leader.
Constantly drawing inspiration from the moon and the stars, Irving's latest ANTA KAI 1 will feature a two-shoe pack inspired by the Sun and the Moon. The shoes were already released to the public in the Philippines, but will see a global release in the coming weeks.
