The introduction of All-Star player Klay Thompson’s tenth signature shoe for the Anta brand—KT X—marks the beginning of his first season with the Dallas Mavericks.
Inspired by the Mavericks’ colors, Thompson is anticipated to wear these shoes with a Dallas theme as soon as the season begins. He inked a three-year contract in the offseason. Before moving to Dallas, he played for Golden State for the previous 13 seasons.
To help fans get a better idea of the latest shoe, pictures of the KT X “Dallas” were posted on social media on Wednesday.The Dallas blue accents on Klay Thompson’s most recent shoe, which contrasts with the silver and gray top, are undoubtedly a nod to the Mavericks. The four-time NBA All-Star’s autograph is located on the outsole.
It guarantees stability, appropriate absorption, and longevity, much like all ‘KT’ shoes, for improved performance on the court.
The tenth year of Thompson and Anta’s collaboration, which has seen the sale of 10 million pairs of KT shoes to far, will see the launching of the KT X in the fall.
Playing with fellow Anta ambassador Kyrie Irving excites Klay Thompson.
Klay Thompson remained silent when asked if his decision to join fellow brand ambassador Kyrie Irving with the Dallas Mavericks was influenced by his Anta contract. Nonetheless, he stated that he was eager to investigate the possibility of playing with the explosive guard.
‘KT’, a free agent, was reportedly there when the Mavericks proposed to him to join the team in Dallas. Irving and Thompson are two of the biggest names signed with the Chinese shoe brand.
Eventually, the four-time NBA champion consented to play for $50 million over three years.
When Klay Thompson first arrived in Dallas, he talked about his friendship with Irving and how happy he was to be playing together.
He declared:
“My buddy Kyrie and I get along well. We joined the league together in 2011, and I’ve always thought highly of Kai’s style of play. He was among the first to text me, expressing how appreciative he is to be here and how the city has welcomed them.It’s good to be on the receiving end of that for once and witness other defenders loosen up and get rocked by him because guarding him was a nightmare. It will be a pleasant sight to witness, he continued.
