Anta Kai 3

S Sole Retriever Article · Jan 2026

The low-top shoe is a sleeker, more streamlined update to Irving’s performance line, but keeps the wavy lines and sharp cuts from past Kai sneakers . The one-piece mesh upper is quiet across the front of the shoe but adds a zig-zag of color towards the heel that connects with the loud midsole.

The ANTA KAI 3 is a strong buy if you want a modern Kyrie signature shoe built around speed, control, and lockdown. It is not trying to be a max-cushion tank. It is a rhythm player's shoe: quick, expressive, and best for hoopers who win with footwork.

So, on a clean court, you have an amazing bite. It has a really, really nice bite.

Seems like the Kai 3 carries the best features from the 1 and 2 (like a hybrid). I don't want too many people liking them, but you gotta try/review the Kai Speed 2.

And also, I guess this has a little bit better tech.

Since signing a 5-year deal in 2023, the partnership has steadily gained global attention for combining strong performance features with accessible pricing. The Kyline has also allowed Irving to explore lifestyle inspired designs that fans did not often see before. The upcoming Kai 3 follows an annual refresh cycle and is expected to arrive by 2026.

In today’s video, I’m breaking down the UNRELEASED Anta Kai 3 ‘Kai Mentality’, and honestly — this might be the best Anta Kai 3 colorway and performance setup so far.

This right here is a limited edition Anta Kai 3. This right here is definitely one of the best colorways I've seen so far. The CNY is top-tier. This one, I think is just a step above, in my opinion. But, you guys will have to let me know what you guys think. I love the details. You got the Kyrie Irving right there on the side of it. Then, you got the Kai mentality right there.

The ANTA KAI 3 ‘Mastery’ keeps your game high-powered.

This traction is nice. Uh, if you're playing on your clean courts, you're going to have absolutely zero issues whatsoever. you're going to have a nice hard stop, stop on a dime type of traction, and it's very, very good. If you're playing on your moderately dusty courts, you're still going to have a really, really good traction.

So, overall, I am really enjoying this ride. very similar to his last model in my opinion, but the back of the shoe just seems a little bit more bouncy, which I do enjoy. So, sound off in the comments if you've tried these out. I haven't yet, but I'm very much looking forward to getting them on court. Let me know down in the comments how the cushioning is performing so far.

This shoe is designed to perform just as hard as it looks.

It's said to blend Chinese tradition with modern design to mark a powerful beginning. And there are a couple of design elements in the shoe that hope to do just that. You see, I have been writing sneaker stories and posting shoe reviews for more than 10 years. And what you will realize is that launch dates for signature shoes are strategic. They are not selected for no significant reason.

Now, I would say that the rubber outsole is good. However, the court I played on was not the best. It was a middle school course, so I was kind of slipping and sliding. I do not know if I'd have the same like, how would you say reaction or the same predicament I was in while playing if I was playing in the Kai 1 or the Kai 2 or the Kai Speed, but I can say that I was sliding a little bit. But all

The fit was very good. In terms of a sizing recommendation, I would definitely go true to size. In the Antai 1, I went a half size up and they fit a little bit too loose for my liking, but they did have that mid-foot strap to kind of make it a little bit more snug. On the Anti Kai 3, these fit true to size.

And in this case, they work really, really well. This mesh upper is very forgiving, very breathable, fits really well to your foot, conforms to your foot relatively quickly, and makes for a very comfortable wear regardless of how long you're playing and uh what you're actually doing in the shoe, whether it be playing basketball or just wearing them casually.

The Anta Kai 3 Mother's Love is truly one of the best shoes I've seen in a long time. It represents his mom. You know, he lost his mom when he was a young kid. I lost my mom not too long ago. And that's a bond that I have that I really miss. And the fact that he does that he puts his family, puts his heart into the shoes. And this represents his mom. I had to go ahead and grab it for my mom.

The Kai 3 is also kind of firm in the forefoot.

Kyrie Irving just unveiled his third signature shoe and I gotta be honest with you I have mixed feelings about it. Of course I look forward to seeing the Anta KAI 3 in person because I’ve closely followed the evolution of Kyrie’s sneakers which began when he was still with Nike. But on the flipside, the more I look at the photos of the Anta KAI 3 the more I feel like there’s something missing here

Find out why they scored a 5/10 for traction.

Initially, I thought the Antai 3 was off to a bad start, which some of you disagree, and it's perfectly fine. Soul Shoes, for instance, says that we need to see more colorways because the Chinese New Year colorway is a bit more muted, which he says he likes.
