Kevin Garnett’s departure of adidas to join the budding NBA-player support of overseas-based sneaker brands left us asking a number of questions, the most common being of the “Why?” category. It could be about the money, or perhaps an opportunity to stretch out a personal brand into the Eastern Hemisphere – a region that has a huge NBA following. Here’s a look at Kevin Garnett’s first known signature shoe with Anta; while it may look more like a lifestyle off-the-court shoe rather than a performance shoe, we can get a solid idea of what his future signatures may appear like on a logo and colorway standpoint. At the center perforated panel, you will see a green Anta logo sitting on top of a silver graffiti graphic. The toe also features perforated leather, with the rest of the upper consisting of white leather – both matte and with an iridescent finish. Like KG’s low-post game, this first Anta show is off to quick first step. Continue reading for another look and let us know what you think of this design. via ye-wa.

August 5th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
there like a mix between the jordan 1 lows and some pro keds

From the makers of the $15 Steph Marbury shoes comes the New Anta KG. Pretty lame stuff.

Almost everything in skate is derived from the Jordan 1 but if you put a basketball tooling on this and switch up the materials you would almost have the same thing…??? Apparently all their money went to KG.

It's all about money. I guess Anta gave him more money than Adidas. KG is old, except him Adidas has a lots of young stars. So, Adidas doesn't really care about him.
August 5th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
