ANTA KT10: Celebrating 10 Years with Klay Thompson in Style

ANTA and Klay Thompson have reached a significant milestone, marking a decade-long partnership with the release of the KT10 sneaker, now available in two distinct colorways: “Crossing Time” and “Time Capsule.” Priced at $130 USD, the KT10 is currently available for purchase directly through ANTA.

This latest model in the KT line embodies a high-performance design tailored for basketball enthusiasts. Crafted with a combination of leather and mesh uppers, the shoe integrates reinforced nylon threads for added durability. The midsole, enhanced with TPU, provides comprehensive 270-degree support crucial for dynamic on-court movements. For optimal grip, the outsole features a hybrid water-wave and herringbone pattern, ensuring superior traction and stability. One of the KT10’s standout elements is its unique “X” lace buckle, symbolizing the Roman numeral for ten, complemented by Klay Thompson’s signature logo—a subtle nod to his four NBA championships.

The “Crossing Time” colorway is particularly eye-catching, symbolizing Thompson’s evolution from the Golden State Warriors to the Dallas Mavericks with a vibrant mix of yellow, red, and blue accents against a grey and white mesh backdrop. The heel showcases a gradient “KTX” design, adding to its distinctive look. In contrast, the “Time Capsule” edition adopts a sleek black-and-white split with gold details, paying tribute to Thompson’s illustrious career and championship success. This version features thoughtful embellishments, such as “selflessness” engraved on the heel and a detailed timeline of his career mapped out on the outsole.

The KT10 not only represents innovation in sneaker design but also commemorates the enduring legacy of Klay Thompson’s journey in professional basketball.
