Matt Varga The next chapter of Kyrie Irving shoes is already off to a hot start, with the ANTA KAI 1 “Artist On Court” a sellout event earlier this month. If you missed out on the ANTA.com drop or the subsequent retail release, you’re in luck. To celebrate Kyrie’s upcoming 31st birthday, that debut colorway will be dropping again via ANTA channels and on KicksCrew.com on March 23rd.

Though a re-release is newsworthy in and of itself, the addition of a second partner is the main detail deserving of note. Sneaker and apparel marketplace KICKS CREW received a co-sign from Kyrie just a few months ago in December when he was appointed Chief Community Officer. Now with his own signature to promote on the platform, this drop will also be distributed via that newly minted co-venture.
While we may have laid eyes on them before, the purple and pink configuration of the “Artist On Court” colorway still impresses a few weeks later. Moreover, as fresh editions continue to arrive as Kyrie-worn PEs, they’re a meaningful indicator of the colorful pairs that’ll continue later in the model’s life cycle.
The ANTA KAI 1 will hold onto its original $125 retail price for its March 23rd release on ANTA.com and KicksCrew.com. Scroll just below for detailed images and direct links to both sites as we near release day.
Elsewhere in the basketball shoes world, the Nike Book 1 “Haven” are set for release on April 6th.
