Unbox the fANTAstic: Three ANTA KAI 1 Stories, One Court

Discover the ANTA KAI 1 Collection Now Available on ANTA EU

The Unbox the fANTAstic campaign is about more than new releases—it’s about uncovering the stories, inspirations, and performance philosophies behind every design. As part of this journey, three standout ANTA KAI 1 colorways are now officially available on the ANTA EU website, each representing a different dimension of Kyrie Irving’s game and mindset.

From heritage and family, to illusion and creativity, to artistic elegance—this is the ANTA KAI 1 collection unboxed.

ANTA KAI 1 “Sacred Bond”

Where Legacy Meets Performance

The ANTA KAI 1 “Sacred Bond” is a deeply personal expression of Kyrie Irving’s roots, honoring his lifelong connection with his father, Drederick Irving. It’s a colorway that blends emotional storytelling with elite on-court performance—an embodiment of strength passed from one generation to the next.

The design builds upon the visual language of the earlier Enlightened Warrior concept, using a symbolic color palette to reflect values that shape Kyrie’s journey:

• Black for strength

• Red for sacrifice

• Silver for wisdom

• Blue for balance

• Gold for harmony

Beyond its meaning, the Sacred Bond is engineered for competitive play. Features like Runner Wrap-Up stability, rounded radiuses for smooth transitions, and a plate-free construction create a natural, responsive feel—supporting quick cuts, controlled footwork, and confident movement on the court.

This is a shoe for players who understand that performance is built on purpose.

ANTA KAI 1 “KAI-leidoscope”

Become an Illusion on the Court

Basketball is unpredictable—and so is Kyrie’s game. Inspired by the ever-shifting visuals of a kaleidoscope, the ANTA KAI 1 “KAI-leidoscope” reflects constant motion, deception, and creativity.

The colorway features a sleek black and silver base, energized by reflective red and blue accents that shift with movement and light. Gradient details on the tongue and inner lining enhance the illusion, mirroring the way Kyrie changes pace, direction, and rhythm in an instant.

Underfoot, ANTA’s Nitrogen Technology midsole delivers lightweight cushioning and responsiveness, while a wear-resistant outsole provides dependable grip for relentless attacks and fast tempo control. The heel features Kyrie’s mantra—“The Journey is the Reward”—a reminder that growth happens in motion.

ANTA KAI 1 “Fleur De Lis”

Performance, Refined

The ANTA KAI 1 “Fleur De Lis” draws inspiration from art, culture, and fluidity. Rooted in the symbolism of France’s iconic fleur-de-lis and influenced by the expressive color language of Vincent van Gogh’s Irises, this colorway celebrates elegance in motion.

Brilliant blue-purple tones form the foundation, accented by sunshine orange and grass green—creating contrast and harmony, just as an artist balances light and color on canvas. The fleur-de-lis motif resembles a butterfly in motion, echoing the effortless glide, pivots, and directional shifts that define Kyrie’s style of play.

Designed for on-court artists, the Fleur De Lis blends refined aesthetics with the same trusted KAI 1 performance platform—supporting players who value precision, control, and expressive movement.

One Collection. Three Expressions.
