The Anta Kai 1 "Jelly" is Inspired by Kyrie Irving’s Layup Package

Kyrie Irving has had an exceptional season on and off the court, with his partnership with Anta flourishing in the post-Nike era. While his low-cost Anta Hela lifestyle sneaker has dominated headlines over the past week, his signature on-court shoe continues to deliver hit after hit. The next in line is the Anta Kai 1 "Jelly," a design inspired by Kyrie’s incredible layup package, adding another standout to his growing sneaker legacy.

Anta has given us an early look at the "Jelly" colorway, which is expected to be an exclusive release for the Greater China, Southeast Asian, and Middle East regions on October 1st.

The sneaker features an all-pink tonal design, complete with subtle shifts in gradient and color, a literal nod to the "Jelly" nickname often given to Kyrie’s wavy, acrobatic layups. The sleek, fluid aesthetic perfectly captures the energy and movement that define his game.

Although the Anta Kai 1 "Jelly" isn’t expected to be released Stateside, sneaker fans should keep their eyes on aftermarket sites, as pairs are likely to appear soon.
