I like the 3s but the 1s just feel more wearable. 3s feel more like a game day shoe, 1s feel more like a everyday hoop shoe to me.

I definitely love the look of the 1’s more…as far as the performance that’s a tough one. Traction might be better on the 1’s after the break in period.
It’s kinda hard to explain. I like all the individual parts of the 3’s… cushion, materials, etc but as far as the overall package i keep coming back to the 1’s. Maybe I need to wear them a little more often and see if my opinion changes at all

Don’t know if it was because the floor had been cleaned recently, or if the traction on these are finally breaking in but the Patchworks were sticking to the floor like glue today
Been seeing more and more people wearing Kai’s on counter court… saw some kid training while wearing the Speed 2’s

I unlocked a cheat code by wearing these with thin socks.Arrived before work. Needs some break in time. But love the look of it.
Much more comfortable.

I think they’re a really good performer… some shoes might have better cushion, traction, etc but overall as far as checking all the boxes you need I think it’s up there with anything I’ve tried this year.
Still need to test out some Li-Ning/Way of Wades though

Me too. Saw Nightwing's list linked off that video and he had I think the way of wade 12s as one of his top shoes. Or maybe that was FDZ too. Either way,

schooled me late last year on Li Ning and those Way of Wade models. I was reluctant to consider them but now I really want to see what the fuss is about. I wish they'd get to some retailer in the states where I could try them on.

Boom is top tier elite, and they have elite traction across All models. From the lower end to the higher end models it’s consistory good.

Probably the #1 guy I'd never want to try to guard. Like forget whatever you're trying. I'd check Skip (Rafer) before I tried to guard Kyrie. Tinsley, Ish, the Professor, whoever. All of those people are impossible go guard one on one but I'd step on the floor thinking I had a shot. Not against Ky though. This clip isn't all that crazy but it just adds to the stuff we've all seen over the years.

Went to the Anta Store in Beverly Hills. I ended up leaving with a pair of KT10 time capsules. They were on sale and I've always wanted to try them. I really like how the Kai 3s felt though. I'll probably go back for them soon.

haven't been there once, how's the pricing there

I’ve only been once… can’t remember if it was during the soft opening or after the grand opening. Anyhow, prices were pretty much retail… don’t recall anything on discount but guess that’s changed.
Probably beating a dead horse BUT I’ll continue to say it… best prices are going to be on the TikTok shop. They do flash sales and discounted items can be combined with random coupons that pop up on the app.
For example today those all black Kai 3’s dropped… they said they can’t really give deep discounts brand new products but I think my man knocked $5 off and TikTok gave me a 25% off coupon so I got em for under $100 on day of the release.
Store is pretty nice though… smaller than I expected but they had some exclusive stuff like restocks you can’t get anywhere else.

I'd say its the same as the website. I didn't notice any prices on the items themselves. I got the time capsules for 104. I think thats how much kt10s are on antasports.com

Value to price ratio is insane on these. I had the cny’s in my rotation and finally got these out. Traction was A1 out the box, and they got a really good fit. N2 foam gets better the more your wear it
