Anta KAI 3 The Mastery Basketball Shoes
The KAI 3 is Kyrie Irving’s third signature shoe with Anta. This version is called The Mastery and has a sand-colored upper with red and gold, on a midsole with colored speckles. It’s a low shoe: the collar ends below your ankle bone.
What’s under your foot?
Anta uses a foam here with nitrogen blown into it, set in a firmer foam rim around it. That foam springs back when you push off while keeping the shoe low, so you still feel the floor. In the midfoot sits a small carbon plate that counters twisting: your forefoot still flexes, but the shoe doesn’t twist through the middle when you stop hard.
How does the sole grip the floor?
The tread runs across the sole in all directions and wraps slightly up the sides. Testers at WearTesters call the grip on a clean indoor court excellent, with a soft rubber compound that bites well. That same soft rubber wears faster outdoors, so this is a shoe for indoors.
How does it fit around your foot?
The upper is a thin, laminated textile layer with leather pieces on the tongue and heel. On the outside, a hard plastic rim runs up from the sole, holding your foot in when you push off sideways. WearTesters writes that the KAI 3 fits true to size in length and width. If you’re unsure, check Anta’s size guide.
Which player does it work for?
It comes into its own with players who change direction often: guards, and anyone who relies on their first step. If you’re looking for plenty of cushioning under the heel because you land hard under the basket, there are thicker models. You can also use it for indoor sports like volleyball, handball and korfball; the same floor, the same movements.
What does The Mastery stand for?
Anta gives every version in the KAI line its own theme. The Mastery is about mastering your craft, and that comes back in the colors: sand and gold with red, and a sole with speckles reminiscent of mottled stone. We still have select sizes in stock, from 39 through 48.5.
The Mastery is one of the more understated KAI 3 colorways we sell: sand with red and gold, less bold than other versions in the same line.
You play guard and change direction often.
You want to feel the floor, not a thick, high shoe.
You play indoors, on a clean gym floor.
You’re looking for a low shoe that lets your ankle move freely.
Do you land hard under the basket? Then you want more cushioning under the heel; we have thicker models in the store.
Do you play outdoors on asphalt or concrete? This soft rubber wears quickly there; in that case, look for an outdoor outsole.
Check the Anta size guide for your size.
Testers at WearTesters report that the KAI 3 runs true to size, in both length and width.
