The ANTA KAI 1 "Sacred Bond" Releases November 22

ANTA continues to elevate its partnership with Kyrie Irving by releasing the KAI 1 "Sacred Bond," set to launch on November 22, 2024.

While the brand has not officially announced the specific inspiration behind the design, this release is clearly deeply rooted in Kyrie’s Native American heritage.

The standout feature of the "Sacred Bond" is the traditional-style woven detailing found across the toe, midfoot, and laces, adding cultural depth and craftsmanship to the design. The intricate woven panels contrast sharply against the black base, which itself features a mix of hieroglyphic and Native American textures— allowing these elements to stand out truly. This strong black foundation is complemented by a bold teal midfoot shank, bringing a modern twist to the otherwise traditional feel. Further enhancing the design are the golden-yellow accents on the sole and tongue branding, making a vibrant statement against the sleek black upper.

Retailing for $125, the ANTA KAI 1 "Sacred Bond" will be available through DTLR on November 22, 2024.
