About Anta
Anta models
The range focuses on basketball. The Anta Kai 1 is the first signature shoe associated with Kyrie Irving and the best-known model, with a low cut and plenty of grip for quick changes of direction. The Anta Kai 2 is the successor that continues the same line, while the Kai 1 Speed is a lighter version.
What the models have in common is their focus on indoor performance: midsole cushioning, an outsole with plenty of grip and an upper that holds the foot securely. Alongside the signature line, there is the Anta Shock Wave 5, another basketball model focused on cushioning and support.
The range is mainly aimed at men and stands out for its competitive price relative to the level of performance offered. Since some colourways are scarce and prices vary by retailer, the lowest price and the number of shops with each model in stock are shown above.
