Anta Klay Thompson KT8 - Journey

The new Anta KT8 basketball shoe is NBA champion Klay Thompson's eighth signature.

This technology powerhouse show a truly unique design!
The graphics on the upper show the places that have been and are part of Klay Thompson's life: the city where he was born, Los Angeles, on the heel side, Oakland on the outer side and finally San Francisco, home of the Warriors since 2019.

On the tabs Klay's story continues: on the right shoe the year of his call to the NBA: "in the 2011 draft," on the left one his draft pick number: "with the 11th pick."
The dates 1987 and 1988 found on the bottom of the left heel refer to the back-to-back titles won by his father Mychal Thompson with the Los Angeles Lakers, and the dates 2017 and 2018, on the right shoe, on the other hand, refer to Klay's back-to-back with the Warriors, so as to emphasize continuity from father to son.

On the medial 3D FLOW backing we find the inscription "Dominate all 94 feet" (the length of the 28.7-meter basketball court), and the toe cap is engraved with the Warriors champion's signature.

Product Details.

• The Smart S.A.M technology, located in the heel area, consists of molecules that change from a random semi-free state to an ordered and compact structure depending on the stresses received. This allows the midsole to return soft cushioning on landing from the jump and responsive response during running and changes of direction.
  
• The 3D FLOW medial support, with X-shaped structure, provides stability and returns energy as during running.
• The midsole is made with ANTA's patented nitrogen-injected A-FlashEdge technology, which provides exceptional lightweight cushioning and support to reduce impact with the playing field and prevent injury.
• The midsole is embellished with a carbon plate designed on the curve of the sole that ensures even power transmission between the front and back of the foot, allowing the athlete to instantly get into the flow of the shot.
• The insole is produced with NitroEdge technology, a very lightweight, durable material that creates the perfect balance of softness, elasticity and strength.
• The upper consists of carbon filaments with light padding in the heel area and tongue.
• The ankle strap is adjustable to transform the shoe from mid to low top.
• The rubber sole, also designed for outdoor use, has a spiral structure for optimal traction when using the pivot foot.
