The ANTA KAI 1 Speed "North Star" Releases November 27

ANTA and Kyrie Irving have once again teamed up to release a special edition of the KAI 1 Speed sneaker, this time honoring the guiding role that fathers and mentors play in shaping the lives of their children. The KAI 1 Speed "North Star" is a tribute to the legacy of Drederick Irving, Kyrie’s father, and the influential figures in their lives who have provided unwavering direction, strength, and support.

The inspiration behind the design of this shoe is deeply personal. The "North Star" symbolizes guidance, stability, and mentorship—qualities that have been passed down through generations. Just as the North Star has historically been used for navigation, Drederick Irving, along with other mentors, has been a steadfast guide in Kyrie’s life and career. The blue and gold accents on the shoe represent the symbolic elements of guidance—gold standing for the light that fathers and mentors provide, while the blue reflects the calming, stabilizing presence of the moon, another navigational guide for centuries.

The KAI 1 Speed "North Star" will feature striking gold accents and blue details on the shoe’s design, embodying these themes of guidance and legacy. This special edition sneaker will be available for purchase exclusively at ANTA.com, Foot Locker, and Dick’s Sporting Goods on November 27th, 2024 at 7am PST / 10a, ET.
