Kyrie Irving and ANTA‘s newest sneaker, KAI3 “CNY,” marks the debut of the KAI 3.0 era, which centers on a design philosophy of resilience, recalibration and holistic recovery. In honor and in spirits of the upcoming Lunar New Year celebrations, the sneaker’s aesthetic is grounded in a palette of beige, gold and red colors that are traditionally symbolic of protection, prosperity and new beginnings.
The aerodynamic silhouette is inspired by the peregrine falcon, featuring a streamlined profile designed for speed and precision. Its upper construction is built with strategically placed air vents to regulate temperature, while the quarters are defined by a forefoot stability system with layered structural lines that reinforce lateral support during quick cuts. The design is further elevated by a reinforced heel counter featuring handcrafted stitching for a premium, durable finish. Underfoot, the sole is crafted to guide force smoothly from heel to toe, reflecting the “flow” essential to Irving’s playing style.
