ANTA and Kyrie Irving Announce 11 Days of Exclusive Drops and Giveaways

Published December 11, 2024

The day after being spotted in what is potentially the follow-up to his debut sneaker with ANTA, the ANTA Kai 1, Kyrie Irving, and the the Chinese sportswear brand are gearing up to celebrate the holiday season with exclusive releases and giveaways. This 11 Days initiative will show exclusive product drops across the ANTA Kai 1, Kai 1 Speed, and the Hela Style (Kyrie’s skate shoe-inspired lifestyle sneaker).

To kick off the event, ANTA dropped the Kai 1 Love, which dips the silhouette in a vibrant red hue meant to symbolize the intensity and energy Kyrie shows on the court and his attitude of spreading love both on and off the court. The standard construction remains on the upper, as engineered mesh and fused TPU overlays alongside the iconic forefoot strap. Black accents contrast the primarily red silhouette along the Kyrie-branded strap and tongue and the nylon lace loops, TPU eyelet, and heel tab.

Another break from this intense red color is found on the TPU reinforcement along the midsole. Here, we see the material transition from an orange shade to a deeper red once you reach the ANTA logo-shaped panel. As for the cushioning below this, we see the traditional nitrogen-infused foam midsole in white paired with a tonal outsole.

ANTA’s 11 Days celebration kicks off today with the release of the aforementioned ANTA Kai 1 Love, which a variety of pairs will follow up. Included in this are multiple colorways of the ANTA Hela Style, the ANTA Kai 1 11 Games (an homage to his days at Duke), the ANTA Kai 1 Speed Dred vs. Kyrie, Kai 1 Mountain Stone, and the kids exclusive Kai 1 Blue Aura.

In the US, the 11 Days initiative will also help benefit communities worldwide as a portion of the purchase proceeds will be donated. Alongside this, expect fan pages on social media to be gifted exclusive ANTA gear and for various giveaways to occur. For a full rundown of the event, check here.
