Anta Kai 1 'Jelly' China Release

The Anta Kai 1 Jelly is a premium basketball sneaker created through a collaboration between Chinese sportswear brand Anta and NBA star Kyrie Irving. The shoe features a vibrant hot pink colorway with a glossy finish and subtle gradient effects, giving the sporty silhouette a bold and eye-catching appearance. The “Jelly” name references Irving’s smooth, acrobatic layups on the court, which inspired the fluid look of the design.

Built with lightweight synthetic materials, the sneaker is designed for performance and comfort. A TPU heel counter adds stability, while a carbon-fiber plate in the midsole enhances energy return and forward movement during play.

Irving-specific branding details, including the shield of protection logo on the tongue, highlight the collaboration and add character to the design. The Anta Kai 1 Jelly was released on October 1, 2024, with a retail price of $125.
