ANTA KAI 2 “Sun” Releases July 11; FEATURE to Host Exclusive Las Vegas Activation

Kyrie Irving's relationship with ANTA continues to expand. Although the NBA All-Star had his most recent season cut short, he and his collaborator continue to present the KAI 2 basketball shoe in new compelling styles. The latest, dubbed "Sun," champions voice, healing, and the concept of infinite possibilities.

With summer now underway, the "Daylight Orange/Sky Blue/Solar Ochre" clad sneaker is right at home. As with other releases from the burgeoning ANTA KAI series, the "Sun" pair includes a number of vibrant-colored accents across the breathable upper and responsive sole unit. Elements draw inspiration from the sky and the horizon, bringing the natural occurrence to sneaker-form.

"I’ve always been moved by the glow of the rising sun," shares Irving. "It reminds me to walk in faith, stay aligned with nature, and never take a single moment for granted. This colorway represents my belief that every day is a chance to rise again—and to speak truth with light."

ANTA celebrates the launch of the KAI 2 "Sun" with a special activation in Las Vegas to coincide NBA Summer League. On this front, the sportswear company has teamed up with local boutique FEATURE to host an exclusive gifting suite inside Encore, Las Vegas. Attendees will have a chance to experience the sneaker through immersive storytelling and curated interactions.

Enjoy detailed shots of the KAI 2 "Sun" ahead. Pairs are set to release via ANTA.com and through Feature.com on Friday, July 11, for $125.
