Kyrie Irving hasn’t set foot on an NBA court this year, but in uniform or not, the Dallas Mavericks point guard is still one of the league’s most indisputable stars, and he’s still got the juice to move shoes. After helping ANTA debut its first stateside flagship store over All-Star Weekend, Kyrie is back with a new, bright orange colorway of the Kai 3 for spring.
The ANTA Kai 3 Calcite is as bright as Kyrie’s personality, covered in a creamsicle color of bright orange as a “radiant expression of clarity, confidence, and forward momentum.” In addition to the multi-tonal mix of Sunny D orange across the silhouette, the colorway adds sundial imagery to the heel to represent Irving’s “philosophy of alignment between mindset and movement.”
“Inspired by calcite, sometimes known as sunstone, the Kai 3 ‘Calcite’ channels the mineral’s symbolic properties of focus, vitality, and mental clarity,” ANTA detailed, adding that the colorway “reflects a commitment to growth, mentally, physically, and spiritually, transforming each step into a surge forward with a clear mind, charged spirit, and unstoppable energy.”
The ANTA Kai 3 Calcite will be released April 4, 2026 through ANTA and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $135. For all the latest ANTA Kyrie news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
