Kyrie Irving's KAI 2 ‘Azurie’ Turns Court Heat into Heart Heat
Kyrie Irving has treated his partnership with ANTA less like a corporate arrangement and more like a family affair – quite literally. After signing his father in one of his earliest moves with the brand, the shooting guard is now widening the circle again with a release that feels both personal and poetically crafted. Enter the KAI 2 'Azurie', a colourway named for his daughter and built around the energy she brings into his life.
The silhouette keeps the KAI 2’s technical backbone intact – sculpted, multi-layered panels, a responsive midsole, and a patterned outsole built for traction – while the titular colourway lands in soft rose pink, giving the aggressive silhouette a more tonal, refined look. The overlays and mesh panels interplay with the hue, highlighting the sculpted heel counter, midfoot supports, and tongue detailing.
A violet-blue flame embroidery winds across the upper, in a standout detail which doesn't compromise performance. Technical touches like the midfoot shank, cushioned heel, and flex grooves in the outsole remain fully intact, ensuring that while the 'Azurie' has story and style, it’s still a no-concession performer.
