Kyrie Irving’s journey with ANTA is taking another step forward this August with the introduction of the ANTA KAI 2 Speed. Lighter and more agile, the second chapter in the KAI series of sneakers prioritizes speed with a sleeker and swifter design than its predecessors.

Crafted with the help of designer Dallas Stokes, the KAI 2 Speed is meant to “look fast standing still.” As such, the sneaker is for players that favor shiftiness over size. A more refined silhouette means less bulk while still offering a great lockdown and support.

Irving’s “K11” logo is also split down the center on the tongue and back on the heel, adding to the physical and conceptual importance of the signature logo. Bold design makes way for plenty of storytelling opportunities.

Available in White/Purple, Black/Pink, Black/Blue, and Blue/Orange colorways, arrow graphics traverse breathable mesh uppers. Contrasting materials, layered accents, and gradient tonal shifts give each iteration a pop.

Herringbone traction on the outsole improves grip and a responsive midsole will keep athletes nimble and balanced even in the clutch.

The ANTA KAI 2 Speed will release August 2025 on ANTA.com and with select retailers.

These are sure to sell out quickly among both players and collectors.
