ANTA and Kyrie Irving are celebrating the Dallas Mavericks’ Finals journey with the ANTA KAI 1 “Green Grails” colorway.
The “Green Grails” colorway is inspired by the concept of a jaded artifact passed down from the ancestors, providing protection, mental focus, and balance of mind, body, and spirit. Green calms the mind, aiding game strategy focus while also assisting in post-game recovery. The design features a shield on the sneaker’s vamp, symbolizing protection and forefoot lockdown.

Irving, a key player for the Mavericks, has poured his heart into the game, embodying the spirit of perseverance. The “Green Grails” colorway reflects his dedication, featuring a design inspired by lush, vibrant green hues symbolizing growth, energy, and a fresh start. The sneaker represents the natural beauty of Irving’s roots in New Jersey, The Garden State, and the green fields of hope and renewal.
The silhouette’s aerodynamic contours echo Kyrie’s slick, gravity-defying transitions and crossovers. The hieroglyphic-esque code on the upper brings a narrative punch, grounding the sneaker in ancestral strength. The clean color application curates head-to-toe looks, ensuring that each element of the sneaker aligns seamlessly with Kyrie’s “Enlightened Warrior” ethos. This meticulous attention to detail enhances the visual appeal and reinforces the narrative of speed, quickness, and ancestral strength embedded in the design.
