Kyrie Irving celebrates his roots with the distinctive ANTA Kai 1 ‘Garden State’.

Kyrie Irving and ANTA have introduced a new color variation of the Kyrie Irving signature shoe, the ANTA Kai 1, named the “Garden State.” This edition pays homage to Irving’s upbringing in New Jersey.

Departing from the usual bright color palettes, the “Garden State” features a clean and minimalist design dominated by a soothing “Sage” jade color. However, upon closer inspection of the toe box, the essence of this design becomes evident.

A translucent material on the toe box reveals multiple graphic stripes radiating outward, each adorned with a floral print. This distinctive detail directly interprets the “Garden State” nickname rather than merely referencing New Jersey’s colors.

After the recent launch of the “Playoffs Energy” colorway, ANTA teased another release in the coming weeks, positioning the “Garden State” as a prominent contender in their upcoming lineup
