The KAI 2 - Dallas draws its design inspiration from Kyrie Irving's “Standing Rock Sioux” Native American heritage. The upper is covered with totem embroidery and serrated geometric patterns, symbolizing the resilience and wisdom of tribal culture.
The light purple gradient upper, combined with nature-inspired colors, conveys a deeper meaning of spiritual connection. The lettering “KAI” is embroidered on the heel, integrated with tribal totem textures, while the midsole's sandblasted particles simulate the texture of an oil painting. Embedded iridescent mother - of - pearl pieces create a dynamic aesthetic under the light.
