ANTA Shock Wave 5 PRO — Día de Muertos

The ANTA Shock Wave 5 PRO Día de Muertos draws from one of the world's most visually powerful cultural traditions — Mexico's Día de Muertos, the Day of the Dead. Where many cultures treat death as darkness, Día de Muertos celebrates it in marigold orange and golden yellow — the colors of the cempasúchil flower used to guide spirits home. Kyrie Irving, known for his deep spiritual and cultural curiosity, brings this tradition to the basketball court in a colorway that is as joyful as it is meaningful. "DÍA DE MUERTOS" is printed vertically on the fluorescent green heel pull tab — visible from behind on every step. Skull medallion detailing on the tongue eyelet and bone-inspired neon green lines tracing the lateral panel complete the cultural narrative. Triangle geometric patterns across the toe box echo ancient Mesoamerican design motifs, and the glow-in-the-dark fluorescent green outsole adds a supernatural quality that feels perfectly aligned with the spirit of the holiday. Released January 16, 2026, alongside the In Memoriam colorway, this is a shoe about honoring what endures.
