Anta has released a new version of Kyrie Irving's signature hoop shoe with the introduction of the Kai 1 Team shown here.

In terms of design, the Kai 1 Team is more similar to the Speed variation than the original Kai 1. The upper features a breathable mesh paired with Anta's logo embroidered at the midfoot. Irving's signature logos appear on the tongue's crest and heel counter, while the rubber outsole provides durability for both indoor and outdoor play.

"This shoe is built for the next generation. We spent countless hours studying AAU and streetball players to create a shoe that meets their needs while reflecting my storytelling and style. The Kai 1 Team shoe is not just for me—it’s for the everyday player striving to create their own story," Irving said.

In addition to unveiling the new Kai 1 Team model, Anta has confirmed the signing of Irving's Dallas Mavericks teammate Daniel Gafford, along with Los Angeles Clippers forward Derrick Jones Jr. and Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert.

Four colorways of the Anta Kai 1 Team are available for purchase now at Anta.com for $100 each.
