ANTA Shock Wave 5 PRO — Black History Month

The ANTA Shock Wave 5 PRO Black History Month is one of the most culturally significant colorways in the entire Shock Wave 5 PRO series. Released June 18, 2026 — Juneteenth weekend — it is Kyrie Irving's direct tribute to Black heritage, identity, and excellence. The words "BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL" are printed across the heel counter, and the full-upper multi-color woven construction — blending red, green, purple, neon orange, and black yarns in a rich textural matrix — draws from the visual traditions of African textile art, where pattern and color carry cultural meaning beyond aesthetics. Kyrie Irving's #11 insignia sits on the lateral midsole panel as a personal signature. Purple midsole side panels, fluorescent green outsole accents, and a clean white outsole base ground the colorway without dulling its energy. This is not a shoe that asks for permission to be noticed.
