Summary

  • Sneaker Politics’ 20th anniversary celebration continues this weekend with the brand’s first ANTA collaboration
  • Teaming up with the Chinese sportswear brand, the two have outfitted the ANTA KAI 3 in a new “Patchwork” composition
  • The shoe is set to drop via Sneaker Politics on March 21 at an expected price of $150 USD

Sneaker Politics is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. The retailer began 2026 with a Saucony project and just pre-launched the Air Max 95 OG “Bandana” during SXSW. Now, it’s stepping in a new direction with its first ANTA collaboration.

Taking on Kyrie Irving’s, ANTA KAI 3, a new “Patchwork” pair has been crafted. Special stitching runs across the shoe’s upper, with the various techniques resembling the unifying of communities and how, when combined, they can form something greater. Blue serves as the upper’s core color, with off-white present at the laces, midsole, and a majority of the stitching. Meanwhile, thematic Kyrie x ANTA branding can be spotted at both the tongue and heel. From there, a red lining and gum outsole complete the court-ready sneaker.

For those interested in picking up a pair, the Politics x ANTA KAI 3 “Patchwork” is set to drop via Sneaker Politics on March 21 at an expected price of $150 USD.
