Guard Kyrie Irving of the Dallas Mavericks made his memorable Drew League debut wearing shoes from ANTA.
Uncle Drew’s first game in the Drew League was only a matter of time. Kyrie Irving, a guard for the Dallas Mavericks, made the trek to the storied Pro-Am basketball tournament in Compton, California, on Saturday, and he did not disappoint.
There was no better time than this to occur. Irving struck a multi-year sneaker deal with ANTA and just extended his contract with Dallas after enduring the most turbulent period of his professional career.
Irving’s five-year sneaker contract makes him the Chief Creative Officer of ANTA and includes a signature line. The new face of ANTA Basketball has spent little time establishing his sponsor since making the announcement earlier this month.
In a Drew League game, Irving recorded a triple-double, making him the first NBA player to accomplish it. The eight-time NBA All-Star wore the ANTA Shock Wave 5, as athletes and followers impatiently await the release of Irving’s first signature shoe. What admirers should know about Chinese hoop shoes is outlined below.
Irving used his annual summer camp to soft-launch the news of his partnership with ANTA by donning the company’s footwear. This summer, we have seen Irving on the floor wearing the ANTA Shock Wave 5 basketball sneakers each time.
It will be difficult for the majority of sneakerheads in North America to locate ANTA at their neighborhood shops. Fortunately, KICKS CREW offers the largest assortment of ANTA Shock Wave 5 sneakers as well as a ton of other difficult-to-find footwear.
The ANTA Shock Wave 5 provides cutting-edge technologies at a reasonable cost. The low-cut style has a woven upper made of high-strength yarn, and the footbed and full-length midsole also use Nitrogen technology.
Finally, the arch TPU independent stabilizer, arch carbon fiber stabilizer plate, outside TPU support plate, forefoot TPU acceleration plate, and upturned rubber outsole all work in concert to promote midsole stability.
