WATCH | In early January 2024, we first saw Kyrie Irving wear one unknown shoe, and then another unknown shoe, and then the Anta KAI 1 dropped two months later. But let’s pause for a moment, and take a step back, because what in the world is this shoe that he first debuted?

The an Kai won Kyrie Irving’s first signature shoe with Anta just released with resounding success it was only back in early January 2024 when we first saw Kyrie Irving wearing one unknown shoe and then another unknown shoe and then the antak kaiwan dropped 2 months later

But let’s pause for a moment and take a step back because if this is the antak kai 1 then what in the world is this let’s talk welcome back this is fresh bear smash the Thumbs Up Button share this video to your friends follow me on Instagram if you’re new here subscribe

To my channel for updates that said let’s dive in in early January Kyrie Irving debuted the first unknown shoe this shoe was decked in an all black upper midsole and outs soole it had Kyrie’s logo predominantly on the tongue a sign that many took to mean that the shoe is

Kyrie’s first antis signature shoe then on January 8th or almost a week after Kyrie wore the first unknown shoe he would wear another blacked out silhouette but this time with a strap this would eventually be confirmed a month later as the ant Kai won when Kyrie debuted the artist Encore colorway

On February 6 2024 with this it seems like Anta has created two shoe models for Kyrie Irving Based solely on the blackedout samples the difference between the first version and the subsequent an kai1 can be difficult to pin down because of the colorway visual limitations what we do know is that the official kaiwan will have fulllength Nitro wedge foam midsole solid rubber for the outsole with multi-directional and randomized Herring

Bone traction pattern and an upper section featuring embroidered patterns along with a mesh material with synthetic overlays nevertheless the strapless version seems to differ in terms of the traction pattern and the upper material while the midsole seems to use a similar Nitro Edge foam setup the strapless version seems to use a

More straightforward Herring bone pattern meanwhile the upper seems to use either TPU or nylon threads similar to what was used in the Shockwave 5 Pro if you’ve known and and some of its shoes for the past couple of years you would have probably noticed that the brand sometimes releases more than one

Version of a shoe model one very recent example is the Shockwave series The silhouette had a couple of versions the t- model the Pro Edition and the standard version which on its own had a second version with this in mind my first take on this is that the first

Unknown shoe that we saw on Kyrie’s feet could possibly be a pro version which could be technically called as the antai 1 Pro generally for the pro version of shoes there has to be an upgrade in this case both the upper material and the outso could have that however if the

Strapless shoe is not a pro version it’s possible that it is a second version something like an anak Kai 1 version two or perhaps an anak Kai 1.5 a shoe that could be the transition model from the kai 1 to the kai 2 another possibilities that the shoe could be a takeown model

Something similar in concept to the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier the KD tray 5 or the Kyrie fly trap Anta has done this approach before in Klay Thompson’s signature line and it’s possible that Kyrie signature shoes could have the same approach but I doubt that this is the

Case with the current hype over the an Kai 1 it’s highly likely for an to cash in on the high demand and one way for the brand to do this is to release another version of the shoe whether as a pro version a second edition or a

Takedown model my best guess is that the strapless version is the anti Kai 1 Pro in the meantime let me know what you think is the strapless anti Kyrie shoe a pro version a second edition or a takeown model or is it just a sample that will never release post your
