New colorways of the Anta Kai 1 Speed continue to roll in. Next up for Kyrie Irving’s latest performance hoops shoe is this “Young at Heart” makeup, arriving this weekend.
As the name of the style suggests, the “Young at Heart” Anta Kai 1 Speed pays tribute to the idea of staying young through movement—and in this case, through basketball. Anta also revealed that the colorway pays homage to Irving’s father, Drederick, and how he instilled the love of basketball in Kyrie at an early age.
The sneaker features a combination of vibrant hues to symbolize youthful energy as seen on the tan-colored upper offset by the green outsole.
“Basketball has always been more than a game for me; it’s a way of life, a source of wisdom, and a bond that transcends generations. The ‘Young at Heart’ colorway isn’t just about staying young—it’s a celebration of how much I truly love the game,” Drederick Irving said. “This shoe represents a legacy of resilience and joy. I believe that when I put these shoes on, I’m serving everyone. Game over! The drive to keep playing, no matter your age, is at the heart of these shoes. My hope is that every time someone steps onto the court in this design, they feel that same love for the game. And that no matter their age, they are still young at heart. That’s what makes these shoes really special.”
The “Young at Heart” Anta Kai 1 Speed releases on Nov. 16 at Anta.com and at select retailers for $125.
