Most Americans probably aren’t familiar with Anta Sports, but the China-based concern is the third biggest sportswear company in the world (behind Nike and Adidas). It counts NBA players like Klay Thompson and Kyrie Irving among its sponsored athletes, and it seems there’s no combination of colors and patterns too wild for the brand. Case in point, this super fun black, green, purple, blue, and yellow pair of basketball shoes that’s discounted by nearly $40 right now.
Anta Kai 1 Speed “Electric Horizon” Basketball Shoes are just $88 at Anta Sports right now, a 30% discount off of their normal $125 price tag. They’ve received 15 five-star ratings out of 17 total, and customers call these sneakers “extremely comfortable” with “incredible traction and support” and a “really cool colorway.” They’re available in half sizes from 8 to 12 and then whole sizes all the way up to 15.

The “Electric Horizon” colorway is a visual cacophony of retro college basketball team colors on a black base. There’s embroidery, glow-in-the-dark soles and outsoles, and lots of different textures, shapes, and materials. Beneath the maximalist look, there’s a mesh upper, anti-slip rubber outsole, padded mesh heel counter, lateral TPU support, and full-palm nitrogen technology that ensures it attracts fans for its performance as well as its aesthetics.
One reviewer wrote that these “dope shoes feel phenomenal, have a great design, and arrived super fast.” They look so good that “my 10-year-old son is stalking my closet trying to get his hands on my new Kai 1…he can't fit them and he doesn't care...enough said!” Father and son agree that “this flavor is a classic,” and it’s hard to argue with them.
Another new Anta fan wrote that they “love the fit and feel” of these shoes. “I’ve worn them multiple times to work where I’m mostly on my feet,” and they’ve performed well. Other reviewers called out the “sick colorway,” “crazy” glow-in-the-dark soles, and “comfortable yet supportive” feel.
You’ve probably never worn shoes quite like the Anta Kai 1 Speed “Electric Horizon” Basketball Shoes, so this sale is a good chance to try them out for less. This discount is part of the brand’s Back to School sale, which ends on Aug. 11, though we should warn you that other styles are already sold out in certain sizes.
