Anta KAI 2 Mentality. The KAI 2 basketball shoe, Kyrie Irving's second exclusive shoe with the Anta brand, is designed to reflect his vision of the game: instinctive, fluid and original. Every element of the shoe is inspired by the way he moves on the court, offering support, speed and freedom of technical expression.

Technical mesh upper with TPU lace reinforcements for added support and containment.
Responsive
360° nitrogen foam midsole for responsiveness and lightweight.
TPU
Arrow-shaped TPU lateral support structure designed to increase stability during explosive movements.
Outsole
Multi-directional traction rubber outsole for excellent grip on any surface.
Irving's personality leaves no one indifferent and neither does his choice of brand. After a year of being one of the stars of Nike, now the point guard is with the Chinese brand Anta. Although it may seem unknown, Anta is one of the clothing and sports shoe companies with the highest revenue each year, despite its youth as a company founded in 1991. Its presence in the NBA stands out for the collaboration not only with Irving, but also with Klay Thompson and, at the time, with former player and Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett.
In the 11 games Kyrie Irving played for the Duke Blue Devils during his college career, the point guard averaged 17.5 points on 53 per cent shooting, 3.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.5 assists. He was already a star in the making, and the Cleveland Cavaliers' selection at No. 1 in the 2011 draft proved to be a wise move.
