Kyrie Irving might be missing the NBA All-Star Game this month, but he’s still creating buzz with ANTA. The duo is set to launch the ANTA KAI 1 Speed “Bag Work,” a sneaker inspired by Kyrie’s childhood training technique. Back then, he would dribble a basketball wrapped in a plastic bag to improve his ball-handling skills. This unique practice has now influenced the design of his latest sneaker.

The KAI 1 Speed “Bag Work” mirrors this concept through its standout design. It features a combination of white and translucent materials that resemble a plastic shopping bag. To add an authentic touch, the sneaker includes graphics that read “Thank you for shopping with us,” creating a nostalgic vibe while maintaining a fresh, modern aesthetic.

As a lighter version of Irving’s signature shoe, the KAI 1 Speed focuses on agility and quickness. It is built for fast, sharp movements on the basketball court, making it perfect for players who rely on speed. This release also follows the debut of the Kai 1 Team model in January, adding to Kyrie’s expanding ANTA lineup.

ANTA KAI 1 Speed Bag Work Release Date

The ANTA KAI 1 Speed “Bag Work” will be available starting February 13, 2025. You can find it at the Foot Locker All-Star Experience in San Francisco, select Foot Locker retailers, and online at Anta.com. The sneaker will retail for $125 USD.
