The ANTA KAI 2 “Triple Black” Releases May 31st

The KAI 2 continues to evolve, and its latest edition arrives in a no-nonsense palette made for every setting. Dubbed the “Triple Black,” this version of Kyrie Irving’s ANTA signature shoe strips back the distractions and leans into stealth styling, anchored by performance-first design.

A monochrome black finish dominates the upper, midsole, and outsole, creating a bold, unified look. Iridescent green accents offer subtle contrast across select details, giving the otherwise muted design a touch of energy under the right light. Built for seamless transition from hardwood to street, the KAI 2 Triple Black balances versatility with edge.

The shoe features a high-strength upper for locked-in support, an Arrow TPU frame for directional stability, and full-palm nitrogen cushioning to absorb impact while returning energy. Underfoot, an anti-slip rubber outsole ensures traction during aggressive cuts and transitions—whether indoors or out.

Debuting as the official footwear of the 2025 BETX Celebrity Basketball Game, the KAI 2 Triple Black will outfit all teams at the event. As part of the activation, ANTA has also collaborated with The Surgeon to deliver custom jerseys, merging performance with cultural storytelling. The event will be supported by an immersive fan experience including try-ons, early drops, and special guest appearances.

The KAI 2 “Triple Black” releases May 31st, 2025 at select retailers including Scheels, Hibbett, Shoe Palace, Sneaker Politics, Extra Butter, Nice Kicks, Feature, Livestock, and online at ANTA.com.
