About Anta

The models from Anta

The range centers on basketball. The Anta Kai 1 is the first signature shoe for Kyrie Irving and the best-known model, with a low cut and lots of traction for quick changes of direction. The Anta Kai 2 is the successor that continues the same line, and the Kai 1 Speed is a lighter version.

What ties the models together is the emphasis on on-court performance: cushioning in the midsole, an outsole with lots of traction, and an upper that holds the foot in place. Alongside the signature line 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 a favorable price given the level of performance. Because some colorways are scarce and prices vary by shop, above you can see, per model, the lowest price and the number of stores that have it in stock.
