The graphics on the upper aren’t just for show. They’re based on hieroglyphics and symbols and were designed by Astin Davistied to reflect Kyrie’s Native American heritage. The goal was to highlight strength, focus, agility, and speed — everything that makes Kyrie, well, Kyrie. Even the lockdown strap gets some love, spelling out “ANTA” in KAI’s code in a white-on-white design.
Speaking of personal touches, “The Journey is the Reward” is engraved into the blue heel. It’s a reminder of where Kyrie started and how far he’s come. There's also Kyrie's personal ANTA logo embedded in white on the blue tongue, as well as two smaller silver logos on the heel.
Performance? The KAI 1 doesn’t miss. It’s got cushioning to keep you comfortable, whether you’re hooping or just hanging out. The durable outsole — crafted in royal blue — is built for relentless play, so you can cut, pivot, and move with confidence.
Kyrie’s basketball sneakers are as smooth as his game, and the ANTA KAI 1 “11 Games” is no exception. Whether you’re a die-hard Duke fan or just love a solid pair of kicks, this drop has something for everyone.
Don’t miss your shot — grab a pair when they drop in men's sizes at Hibbett and City Gear stores on December 14.
