Anta Shock Wave 5 Kyrie Irving First Year

The Anta Shock Wave 5 Kyrie Irving First Year is part of a collaboration between NBA player Kyrie Irving and Chinese athletic apparel label Anta. This performance sneaker finds inspiration in fierce predators and rugged terrains. For example, the side of the midsole displays a TPU panel that looks like a fish bone and mimics the skin of a crocodile or cobra. The breathable upper features a simple color combination of white and black, while jagged lines create the illusion of teeth. In terms of technology, the sneaker houses a full-length Nitrogen midsole and insole, TPU stability plates, and a carbon plate. The rubber outsole extends slightly over the toecap and is made of a non-slip material. The Anta Shock Wave 5 Kyrie Irving First Year was released on September 6th, 2023, and retailed at $230.
