Kyrie Irving and ANTA are nearing the third chapter of their signature shoe journey, landing on or near the Dallas Mavericks star’s return to the court following an ACL tear last year. During a pre-game shootaround, Kyrie was spotted wearing the ANTA KAI 3 signature shoe, unveiling an all-new low-cut design tailored to the point guard’s style of play.

Yet again, ANTA focuses on an aggressive midsole design, combining a jagged molding and a robust traction that scoops up the walls of the soles for maximum grip. On the medial side you’ll notice even more patterns carved into the midsole, but it smooths out at the heel. The upper features a blend of breathable mesh that wraps from the toe to heel, while the upper ankle is fixed with a leather-like overlay. Kyrie’s emblem is placed at the heel, while ANTA’s strike logo appears on the upper with its tail end dropping down the midsole.

It is likely that Kyrie will wear the ANTA KAI 3 upon his 2025-26 NBA season debut, but for now, you’ll have to catch these on-foot shots and await his official return.

The ANTA KAI 3 is currently expected to launch on January 17th, 2026 for $125 in a “Chinese New Year” colorway. It is not yet confirmed if the pair seen here is what’s dropping on that date.
