Two prodigies turned Finals rivals. Now teammates chasing a title together. ANTA introduces the KAI 2 “KLAY,” a colorway that pays tribute to the brotherhood between Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson—blending the flow of water with the force of wind in one seamless design.
Irving and Thompson, who entered the league in the same year, are forever linked by their memorable Finals battles. Now, fate has reunited them in Dallas under the ANTA banner, fighting shoulder to shoulder for another championship run. Beyond their on-court connection, the two have built a lasting brotherhood defined by mutual support, encouragement, and a shared love for the game.
The KAI 2 “KLAY” design draws inspiration from the brotherhood between Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson. Its palette of cool sky blues, vibrant golds, and subtle green accents symbolizes calmness, wisdom, and fluidity, capturing both players’ distinctive yet complementary styles. Klay is renowned for his speed, agility, and unpredictable movements—the ever-present force of the wind—while Kyrie’s artistry embodies the seamless flow of water. Together, the colors reflect balance, perseverance, and the beauty of their bond, uniting serenity and energy in a design that mirrors their connection on and off the court.
The KAI 2 “KLAY” will launch on September 26, 2025, at ANTA.com, Foot Locker (US & EU), Dick’s Sporting Goods, Scheels, Hibbett, and JD Sports (Canada).
