THE KITE EARNS THE $15 · $150 · 812631102A-1 🪁
The ANTA KAI 3 "Kai Feng" (White/Black/Red), $150, 812631102A-1, costs $15 more than the $135 I paid for my KAI 3 Alchemist in September. That's a premium, and it's worth it: this might be one of my favorite pairs yet. ANTA built this one around Chinese kites and Kyrie Irving's tribal heritage, and the details carry the story: "Irving" in Chinese on the tongue, a winged sun and moon on the heel, and a Chinese Kite badge in the box. The materials are great, the storytelling is awesome and the details are perfect. ANTA killed it, and Kai just keeps delivering. I've worn this pair many times.
Under the hood:
🪁 Kite-frame lines and wind lines across the upper, per ANTA
⚡ Full-palm nitrogen cushioning, which ANTA says delivers rebound
🧱 Midfoot carbon plate for stable support, per ANTA
👟 Mesh and synthetic leather upper, rubber outsole with an anti-slip texture
Receipt: $150 at anta.com, 812631102A-1, size 15. My Alchemist was $135 in September.
