NBA superstar Kyrie Irving, along with his partnership with ANTA, is set to release his latest signature sneaker, the KAI 2 "Artist on Court." The New Jersey native has been teasing this sneaker for quite some time and it's finally hitting the market on Friday, Feb. 28, with a price tag of $140. Fans got a sneak peek of the KAI 2 during the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, where Irving proudly sported his new kicks.
The highly-anticipated KAI 2 is a representation of Irving's creative evolution and his vision of merging cutting-edge innovation with futurism. In a statement, he expressed his excitement about the release, stating, "The KAI 2 is a culmination of everything I've envisioned. Every detail, from the laces to the look and feel, reflects the most dynamic and expressive shoe I've ever worn. It's truly a work of art and unlike any other shoe on the market."
ANTA has also added some unique features to the KAI 2, including a hand-painted toebox, a reimagined ANTA logo, and a "GATE" heel design. The sneaker also boasts textured velvet laces, a speckled midsole, and unique heel embroidery. Fans can get their hands on the KAI 2 on Feb. 28 through ANTA's website, as well as select stores in Dallas, New York, San Francisco, Jersey City, Atlanta, and Las Vegas.
But that's not all, the KAI 2 will also be available worldwide in countries such as China, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom. As the Chief Creative Officer of ANTA Basketball, Irving has been busy expanding the brand's reach. Last summer, he signed his father, Drederick, to his own signature sneaker, and recently announced the signing of three NBA players, Caris LeVert, Derrick Jones Jr., and Daniel Gafford, as brand ambassadors. ANTA believes that these players embody the values of teamwork, resilience, and excellence, which aligns perfectly with the brand's mission.
In addition to his work with ANTA, Irving has also been making headlines for his philanthropic efforts. In a heartwarming gesture, he donated $40,000 to help a 93-year-old woman keep her home from a land development company. Irving continues to inspire both on and off the court, making an impact with his talent, creativity, and generosity. Fans can't wait to get their hands on the KAI 2 and experience the "Artist on Court" in action.
