A Collaboration Rooted in Unity, Craft, and Community.
Sneaker Politics has announced its latest project- their first with ANTA.
The patchwork-motif upper serves as both a design statement and a cultural one: a symbol of unity. The collaboration lands alongside a meaningful philanthropic effort in Dallas, TX—a city that both Kyrie Irving and Sneaker Politics call home.
The festivities surrounding the launch begin on Friday, March 20, with a court unveiling ceremony at Fahim J. Minkah Community Park. The event will feature a ribbon-cutting to celebrate the newly resurfaced basketball court. This restoration effort reflects both Kyrie Irving’s deep roots in the Dallas community and Sneaker Politics’ commitment to giving back.
Following the ceremony, a full family-friendly field day will commence, with food trucks, live entertainment, bounce houses, and basketball activities for all ages. Beginning at 11 AM CT, the Politics x ANTA KAI 3 “Patchwork” will be available for purchase exclusively on-site at the court through 2 PM CT.
The Politics x ANTA KAI 3 “Patchwork” draws its identity from the art of handcrafted construction. Each section of the upper tells a different story — diverse fabrics and textures united by meticulous stitching — translating the patchwork motif as a metaphor for what happens when communities come together. The visual language of the shoe mirrors the themes of the collaboration itself: thoughtful, intentional, and deeply rooted in culture. Built on the high-performance KAI 3 platform, the shoe bridges Kyrie Irving’s Dallas ties with Politics’ ongoing commitment to craft, community, and culture.
The Politics x ANTA KAI 3 “Patchwork” will be available online at sneakerpolitics.com at 9 AM CT on Saturday, March 21, 2026.
