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.
