ANTA KAI Mule Slides
The Kyrie Irving ANTA KAI Mule is an unexpected divergence in his burgeoning signature collection.
The slip-on format is on the same performance sole as the KAI 2, so it provides a similar ride right from the start.
As for the mule itself, Irving’s storytelling leans into Native American themes once again, this time mixed with more personal symbols present in previous ANTA releases. The yellow suede iteration is obvious from the start, with a style that leans closer to handmade art installation than typical sideline shoe. The silver molded version takes the exact opposite tact, though, with a decidedly futuristic edge.
Both early iterations demonstrate just how malleable the backless silhouette can be, from expressive embroidery work to razor-sharp zigzag shaping. Both are as much about comfort, personality, and meaning as are the three pillars that have come to define Irving’s life after Nike.
No pricing or window has been confirmed as of yet, but we’ll have more details on the release soon as ANTA gears up for the drop.
