Kyrie Irving is healthy, and that might be a problem for the Western Conference. Amidst a heavy offseason full of superstar team switches and owner suspensions, Irving’s return to the court alongside budding superstar Cooper Flagg will completely shift how the Mavericks operate. We still have to wait and see how much Kyrie has in the tank as he ages through injury rehab, but knowing his skills, we’re expecting a little alchemy from one of the best ball handlers in league history.
The ANTA Kai 3 Alchemist is the latest Kai 3 colorway set for pre-season release, following a Magnetic Energy pair that dropped last month. Celebrating Kyrie’s ability to turn nothing into something on the court, the Alchemy colorway covers Irving’s third ANTA signature in waves of green with yellow and teal accents.

Featuring a forest green base across the upper, the support panels add teal to the mix with a faint plaid print. The zig-zagging side panel stabilizer shines in metallic gold to match the neon yellow and matte gold on the outsole and midsole. Last but not least, a gold tree of life emblem chain hangs from the top lace.
The ANTA Kai 3 Alchemist will be released September 12, 2026, through ANTA and select retailers, including Scheels and Dick's Sporting Goods. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $135. For all the latest Kyrie ANTA news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
