The ANTA x Kyrie Irving Kai 2 'Triple Black' has officially made its arrival.

The Dallas Mavericks point guard's second signature basketball shoe arrives via ANTA.com and at select retailers today with an retail price of $125. Per the brand, it features a strong textile upper built for durability and traction. Made with a monochromatic all-black upper with matching laces, the graphic detailing pays homage to Irving's speed and prowess as a player, while the anti-slip rubber outsole gives way for plenty of grip and slip-resistance.

The key feature, however?  The full-palm nitrogen midsole which, per the brand, powers your performance through its plush cushioning and crafty technology that is almost as crafty as Irving's point guard skills.
