The court-ready kicks are presented in a metallic silver that is joined by vivid accents of red, purple and orange. Special detailing has been scattered throughout, with an "SV" motif present at the midfoot strap and "Sneakerverse" hit at the heel tying it to the special drop.For those interested in picking up a pair of this very limited "Kaiverse" iteration of the ANTA KAI 1, it is currently expected to launch exclusively via ANTA's new Sneakerverse storefront in Beijing on March 23 at a price of ¥899 CNY (approx. $125 USD).
