While resting his knee this offseason, Kyrie Irving, a guard for the Dallas Mavericks, is keeping his mind and spirit strong through exercise.
Irving is once again using his trainers as a vehicle to express his thoughts and creativity to the world.
The “White Phantom” colourway of the ANTA KAI 2 was unveiled to the public earlier today. As stated in the product description, “Grace is in transition, like a butterfly threading the chaos; the ‘White Phantom’ isn’t just a colorway—it’s a mindset in motion.”
The “White Phantom” ANTA KAI 2 will be released on Wednesday, June 25 at noon EST.
The basketball sneakers are available for purchase on ANTA.com exclusively in adult sizes for $125.
Sporting a pristine white upper, the colorway captures the quiet danger of Irving in transition.
He is a phantom moving through the seams of the defense. His movement is poetry; this sneaker is the page, according to ANTA.
Meanwhile, Icy silver accents on the tongue and logos evoke light on steel, glinting under arena lights. But it’s what lies beneath that defines the transformation.
The luminous green outsole glows in the dark, “built for players who shine brightest when everything’s on the line” reads the press release.
The sensitive NitroEdge foam midsole gives you a burst of energy with every stride, while the reinforced knit upper keeps you in place dynamically.
Finally, quick stops, pivots, and first steps are made possible by the multi-angle traction pattern.
The “White Phantom” colour scheme isn’t about reminiscence, says ANTA. It’s all about never stopping, always wanting more.
Many colourways of Irving’s second signature sneaker have already hit the shelves, and sneakerheads have been going crazy for them.
