Kyrie Irving and Anta Debut the Budget Friendly Kai 1 Team Shoe for Just $100

Kyrie Irving and Anta have announced the third iteration of his performance basketball shoe along with three new endorsers from the NBA. The Anta Kai 1 Team follows the original Anta Kai 1 and the lighter Kai 1 Speed. It comes in at just $100, which is $25 cheaper than the other two versions of the on-court sneaker. The Anta Hela, a lifestyle sneaker inspired by skateboarding under Irving’s line, also commands $100. “This shoe is built for the next generation. We spent countless hours studying AAU and streetball players to create a shoe that meets their needs while reflecting my storytelling and style,” Irving said in a press release. “The KAI 1 Team Shoe is not just for me – it’s for the everyday player striving to create their own story.” Like the Kai 1 Speed, the Kai 1 Team forgoes the strap used for the regular Kai 1. A lightweight, breathable mesh upper is partially reinforced by heat pressing, and a bowl-shaped TPU runs through the length of the midsole for stability and security. A nylon shank at midfoot also increases support for dynamic movements, while the outsole has been optimized for both indoor and outdoor courts. Dallas Stokes,
