In a vibrant homage to community and unity, Anta has unveiled the KAI 1 Speed "Tribe," the latest signature sneaker from basketball star Kyrie Irving. This new release embodies the spirit of connection that Kyrie champions, both on and off the court, with a design that is as meaningful as it is eye-catching.
Designed by Astin Davis, the KAI 1 Speed "Tribe" features a dynamic pattern and a kaleidoscope of colors that represent "all walks of life"—black, brown, white, yellow, and red. This color palette is not just a choice; it's a statement, reflecting the diversity and unity of Kyrie's global community. The shoe's design emphasizes the strength found in unity and the powerful bonds of family, echoing Kyrie's own values and the principles instilled in him from a young age.
"Working on the KAI 1 Speed Tribe was about more than just creating a shoe—it was about driving home Kai’s message," explains Davis. "The inspiration came from Kyrie's personal journey and the strong connections he shares with those around him. Every element, from the vibrant colors to the intricate patterns, is a reflection of unity and the strength we have when we come together."
Scheduled for release on October 26th, the KAI 1 Speed "Tribe" invites fans and newcomers alike to join in this celebration of inclusivity and will be available on ANTA.com and at select Footlocker locations.
