ANTA and Kyrie Irving return with the KAI 1 Speed “Young at Heart” (YAH) colorway. This latest iteration embodies a potent mantra: “You don’t stop playing because you get old. You get old because you stop playing.” The YAH design pulsates with youthful energy, a vibrant ode to passion, movement, and the indomitable spirit—values that resonate deeply with ANTA’s own credo, “KEEP MOVING.”

About the ANTA Kai 1 Speed “Young At Heart”

The design draws inspiration from a wellspring of familial legacy, particularly the unwavering dedication of Drederick Irving, Kyrie’s father.

The YAH’s electrifying palette reflects Drederick’s wisdom, vitality, and lifelong commitment to the game—qualities that have shaped both his own journey and Kyrie’s ascent to basketball stardom. This collaboration marks a historic moment: Drederick Irving recently secured his own signature shoe deal with ANTA, becoming the first father of an active NBA player to share a brand with his son.

The YAH colorway is a joyous explosion of life, a defiant statement against the constraints of age. Its audacious hues evoke a sense of resilience and boundless energy, reminding athletes of all ages to persevere, to play with unbridled passion, and to revel in the sheer joy of the sport.

As Drederick Irving himself proclaims, “Basketball has always been more than a game for me; it’s a way of life, a source of wisdom, and a bond that transcends generations. This shoe represents a legacy of resilience and joy.”
