Although Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks did not have the season end they wanted, the journey to the NBA Finals was special, as the team was overlooked and underestimated. The team fought through a competitive Western Conference and ultimately fell short to an elite team. Now, Kyrie Irving and ANTA will release a brand new KAI 1 that will shine some light for fans during this season's end.
The new KAI 1 'Green Grails' introduces a concept rooted in ancestral wisdom, emphasizing protection, mental focus, and the balance of mind, body, and spirit. Inspired by the idea of a cherished artifact handed down through generations, this iteration incorporates green elements known for their calming effects, aiding in strategic focus during games and facilitating recovery afterward. One notable feature is the shield on the sneaker's toe box, serving as a symbol of protection for wearers.
Featuring a predominantly neon green design with vibrant volt accents, the KAI 1 is crafted to mirror Irving's gravity-defying movements and crossovers on the court. Technical specifications include an aerodynamic upper, a forefoot lockdown strap, a TPU sidewall, a carbon fiber midfoot plate, a Nitroedge midsole cushion, and a rubber threaded outsole, all aimed at enhancing performance and comfort.
The ANTA KAI 1 'Green Grails' colorways will be released on June 22nd at 12 PM Eastern Time on KICKSCREW.COM, priced at $125 USD.
