Founded in 1991, the sporting goods brand was successfully listed in Hong Kong in 2007 and has the country's first sports science laboratory. In the field of basketball, ANTA sponsored the CBA, a top basketball event in China from 2004~2012, and is now the official marketing partner of the NBA. ANTA basketball shoes are known for their super abrasion resistance, and when the upper is damaged and can no longer be worn, the sole still does not show a large area of wear. Anta's basketball shoes such as "Cement Killer" and "Domineering" have been regarded as classics for a while, and are very suitable for outdoor concrete court wear.
 
ANTA's top-of-the-line basketball shoes are the KT series, which is now in its second generation, launched for NBA star Klay Thompson. KT2 is made of a lightweight shoe body made of metal PP film and a breathable 3D three-dimensional fabric lining to combine the advantages of lightness, freshness and breathability. The heel memory foam with wrap-around TPU design provides good support and effectively protects the heel. The KT2 midsole is made of high-resilience TPU with embedded partitioned elastic foam, the forefoot is high-elastic to help with force, the rear foot cushions to protect the ankle, and the large-area TPU support plate of the arch can improve the overall stability of the shoe, which is very suitable for defenders with fast start-up speed. In addition, the KT2 is also available in a playoff version, with the upper changed to PP film combined with fly weaving technology to make the sneaker lighter, improve breathability and comfort, and otherwise the same as the regular version. However, the KT2 has average wear resistance compared to ANTA's previous sneakers, and the midsole is stiff at the beginning of the upper foot, so the comfort will be significantly improved after running-in. The official price of KT2 is 499 yuan, which is extremely cost-effective.
