ANTA KAI 1 Speed “Twin Flame” Releases September 2024

Kyrie Irving’s return to Boston for the NBA Finals gets a special footwear tribute. Irving is set to debut the ANTA KAI 1 Speed “Twin Flame” for Game 1, a shoe that holds deep personal significance.

The “Twin Flame” theme goes beyond aesthetics. It’s a celebration of Irving’s parents meeting at Boston University. Drederick Irving, the first athlete signed to Kyrie’s ANTA KAI brand, played basketball for the Terriers, while Elizabeth played volleyball. The city of Boston played a pivotal role in bringing Kyrie’s parents together, and this shoe commemorates that special connection.

But the “Twin Flame” details go even deeper. The toe embroidery honors Elizabeth’s Native American heritage, showcasing Kyrie’s respect for his family’s background.

This shoe also signifies a special collaboration. “Dred” himself wasn’t just the inspiration; he actively participated in the design process, working with ANTA designers to refine the shoe’s details. It’s a true family affair, with Kyrie sporting a shoe that reflects not just his own journey, but the one that led to his very existence.
