ANTA Klay Thompson KT3 – Ink Wash Painting,by merging traditional Chinese ink-wash motifs with crisp blue-and-white tones, it shatters the “tough-guy” stereotype of basketball shoes. Whether you’re lacing up for real play or just styling an everyday fit, you get both top-tier performance and head-turning looks.
Dressed in a muted grey palette and finished with matte, fog-touch materials, the shoe’s centerpiece is a white-to-blue ink-wash print that blooms across the upper like a hand-painted scroll. Layers of varying indigo and porcelain-blue tones melt into one another, wrapping the foot in full-on Chinese aesthetic mood. A clean, tonal “K” stamp on the tongue—Klay’s series signature—keeps branding low-key yet instantly recognizable. Beneath the foot, the midsole fades from solid white to translucent ice-blue, echoing the ink-wash graphics and giving the whole silhouette a crisp, weightless feel.
Core on-court performance
Grip & durability A high-density rubber outsole is carved with deep, widely-spaced herringbone. The pattern bites hard on cement, asphalt or polyurethane courts, letting you plant, stop or cut without sliding. Wear-testers report that the tread stays sharp even after months of outdoor runs, making the KT3 a solid choice for heavy training or game day.
Cushioning & air unit The midsole packs ANTA’s flagship A-FLASHFOAM (or equivalent) foam plus a rear-foot air pod. Impact is swallowed on landing, knees stay fresh, and the ride still feels quick off the forefoot. Jump-shooters and slashers alike say the setup gives them the right mix of softness and snap.
High-cut support A true high-top collar hugs the ankle, while heat-welded side walls and an internal strap lock the heel in place. The extra support cuts down on rollovers without killing mobility—ideal for guards and wings who live on change of direction. Thick, smooth padding around the collar prevents hot spots, so you can finish a two-hour run without taping up.
