The ANTA KAI 2 “Clutch” brings one of the NBA’s coldest Finals moments back into focus with a sharp new colorway. The sneaker nods to Kyrie Irving’s Game 7 dagger during the 2016 NBA Finals, a shot still replayed whenever clutch scoring is discussed.

That moment helped define Irving’s legacy, much like earlier signature pairs that leaned into confidence and control. Here, the ANTA KAI 2 leans darker, using a black ice palette that mirrors Irving’s calm under pressure. Gold accents quietly reference Cleveland’s championship run, while the muted tones reflect the Warriors’ home floor.

Compared to louder KAI releases, this pair feels more restrained and intentional. It fits the nickname without overdoing the storytelling. That balance should resonate with hoopers and collectors alike.

The ANTA KAI 2 “Clutch” launches Saturday, December 20, priced at $125. Look for pairs on ANTA’s official site.
