Earlier this month, ANTA launched the KAI 1 'Embroidered' colorway, marking the final release in the ANTA KAI 1 series.
Since its release last year, the KAI 1 has dropped over 20 colorways. I'm curious, which ones have you guys picked up? And in your opinion, which colorway is the best for the KAI 1?"
During the recently concluded NBA All-Star Game, Kyrie wore the ANTA KAI 2 for the first time in a game setting! The debut "Court Artist" colorway presents a design that goes beyond the usual on-court shoes.
Just like with the KAI 1, the debut colorway of the KAI 2 is purple. It's worth mentioning that purple is Kyrie's favorite color, bringing a mysterious and noble vibe.
From the detailed images, we can clearly see that the KAI 2 has undergone significant upgrades in its design.
Second, the iconic curved texture on the upper of the KAI 1 has evolved into a wavy pattern on the KAI 2, complemented by colorful tribal symbols on the heel, still retaining the distinctive style of the Lijiang Su ethnic group.
Third, the design of the shoe's lace edges has been altered to an irregular shape, and the lacing system now features fuzzy decorations. However, it's reported that this design is exclusive to the debut colorway.
I believe the KAI 2 will perform even better in terms of comfort. After all, the KAI 1 already featured full-length nitrogen technology in the midsole, offering excellent cushioning and rebound to help wearers achieve quick starts.
Additionally, perhaps due to the angle of the photos, the KAI 2 appears visually wider and bulkier compared to the KAI 1, with less defined lines. The KAI 1 has often been criticized for its wide last, and it remains to be seen if this issue will be addressed in the second generation.
