Klay Thompson’s career takes an important turn in the 2024-25 NBA season when he joins the Dallas Mavericks after being a key member of the Golden State Warriors’ dynasty for years. Thompson’s 10-year partnership with ANTA has endured alongside his illustrious career as fans and analysts reflect on his impact on The Bay Area. Thompson and ANTA’s partnership began in 2014 and has culminated in four NBA championships, five All-Star seasons, and countless career highlights.
To commemorate this remarkable partnership, ANTA and Thompson have debuted the KT-10, a new model that combines performance-enhancing technology with symbolism of Thompson’s journey and achievements.
Thompson’s on-court needs are met by the redesigned basketball sneaker, which prioritizes weight reduction, stability, and agility, demonstrating the brand’s expansion in the performance footwear sector.
The KT-10 has sophisticated design elements, such as cable-supported anchoring, a TPU shank in the midsole for additional support, and a water wave and herringbone traction pattern on the outsole for optimal grip. The KT-10 is a reflection of Thompson and ANTA’s growth over the years, reflecting a decade of partnership in both performance and design.
To launch the KT-10, ANTA has released two distinct colorways, each with a concept reflecting Thompson’s legacy and future.
The player’s transition is celebrated with a gradient blend of yellow, red, and blue that represents ‘hope, enthusiasm for his new journey, and calmness and focus’.
Meanwhile, the “Time Capsule” edition takes a monochromatic approach, blending black and white with a subtle ombre midsole and regal golden embroidery to honor Thompson’s championship legacy.
The retail price for the KT-10 ‘Crossing Time’ and ‘Time Capsule’ is $130 and they can be found at both ANTA.com and Shoe Palace.
