ANTA and Kyrie Irving Honor Mothers With the KAI 3 “Mother’s Love”

ANTA and Kyrie Irving are continuing the KAI 3 rollout with a special-edition colorway rooted in family, gratitude, and personal storytelling.

The ANTA KAI 3 “Mother’s Love” pays tribute to mothers around the world, honoring their strength, sacrifice, protection, and unconditional support. The colorway uses layers of soft pink to represent warmth, compassion, and the gift of life, while deeper pink tones nod to the quiet resilience and sacrifices mothers make every day.

Fluorescent red accents add a sharper contrast, symbolizing the fearless spirit of mothers who protect and support their families. Across the upper, a delicate rose graphic is woven into the TPU film as a nod to beauty, grace, and resilience, while an embroidered heel message adds another personal touch.

Performance remains central to the design, with lightweight engineered mesh providing breathable comfort and durability for on-court play. The result is a pair that keeps the KAI line’s storytelling approach intact while still functioning as a serious basketball model.

“The KAI line has always been about telling stories that extend beyond basketball,” said Kyrie Irving. “This colorway is a tribute to the women whose love, sacrifice, and guidance shape who we become both on and off the court.”

The ANTA KAI 3 “Mother’s Love” releases July 18 for $135 via ANTA.com, Basketball Headquarters, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Scheels, and JD Sports Canada.

The pair will also be featured at the Uncle Drew Pop-Up Retail Experience in New Jersey as part of the larger celebration around Kyrie Irving and the KAI collection.
