Sneaker Politics marks its 20th anniversary with its first collaboration on the ANTA KAI 3, featuring a new Patchwork design. The shoe will launch on March 21 at $150 USD. Kyrie Irving's signature model sports blue uppers with special stitching symbolizing community unity.
Sneaker Politics, a retailer celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2026, has unveiled its inaugural partnership with the Chinese sportswear brand ANTA. The collaboration reworks Kyrie Irving's ANTA KAI 3 silhouette into a Patchwork edition, set for release on March 21 through Sneaker Politics at an expected price of $150 USD in limited quantities. This follows the retailer's earlier 2026 projects, including a Saucony collaboration and a pre-launch of the Air Max 95 OG “Bandana” during SXSW. The Patchwork design features special stitching across the upper, intended to evoke the idea of unifying communities into something greater. Blue forms the core color of the upper, complemented by off-white elements on the laces, midsole, and most stitching. Thematic Kyrie x ANTA branding appears on the tongue and heel, with a red lining and gum outsole rounding out the court-ready look. Interested buyers can purchase the Politics x ANTA KAI 3 “Patchwork” exclusively via Sneaker Politics starting March 21.
