Kyrie Irving’s return is getting closer, and ANTA already has another Kai 3 lined up for the start of the season. The next pair is called “Alchemist,” a colorway built around the way Irving can turn a broken play into something completely different.

Most of the shoe comes dressed in forest green, with teal worked into the support panels and a faint plaid pattern underneath. Metallic gold runs through the zig-zag side piece, while yellow and more gold show up along the midsole and outsole.

A small Tree of Life charm hangs from the upper lace area and gives the pair one of its more noticeable details. The green, teal, and gold combination also separates it from the “Magnetic Energy” Kai 3 that arrived in August.

The ANTA Kai 3 “Alchemist” releases September 12, 2026, through ANTA and select retailers for $135.
