The Anta Kai 1 Enlightened Warrior is a mismatched pair of shoes designed by American basketball player, Kyrie Irving.
This version of the Anta Kai 1 is made with a lightweight mesh upper. The upper of each shoe features black and white geometric and tribal patterns, different on each shoe. Translucent purple and pink overlays round out the toebox of one of the shoes, while this overlay appears in pink and orange on the other shoe. Irving’s number 11 appears at the bottom of the laces and again on the heel under the special characters. A strap over the laces embellished with special characters adds support. The heels also contain a TPU stabilizer in black and white. The white rubber outsole is thick and contains yellow on one shoe and red on the other.
Our favorite thing about this shoe is how the geometric patterns on the base are similar but still different, complementing each other. The Anta Kai 1 Enlightened Warrior was released on April 12, 2024, for a retail price of $125.
