Anta Kai 1 Yin Triple Black

The Anta Kai 1 Triple Black is a collaboration between NBA player Kyrie Irving and Anta, a sportswear label based in China. The Triple Black Anta Kai 1 pays homage to Irving’s graceful yet powerful style of play through its sleek design and graphics, including a silver shield motif on the tongue. The silver shield provides a pop of metallic against the all-black upper, midsole, and outsole. The minimalist upper is made from a lightweight synthetic material and doesn’t include the intricate patterns found on other Anta Kai 1 models. However, a small, silver "11" can be found on the forefoot, representing Irving’s preferred jersey number. Something that makes this sneaker stand out is the dual closure system. It features a traditional lace closure and a strap that crosses the forefoot. The Anta Kai 1 Triple Black was released on June 3, 2024, and retailed for $125.
