Several shoes are up on eBay right now, even an incredible pair of KG7 high tops that never released due to his retirement. These were intended for KG.

KT2 and several samples that were never sold in the US, only in China.
Anta update - Anta decided to take their sales in house and are using a distribution center in Columbus, OH now. They've done a nice job with their Amazon listings (run by Hynes Eagle?), but their social media and website have been pretty static since the transition took place.
We will be...
@Kaz109 - I know there was a run of the outdoor shoes that was produced, but not shipped to the US, that included sizes up to 14. At some point they have to be releasing these, but the numbers were fairly limited in availability (size 14's at least). Once antaamerica.com is back up and...
@Mooby Anta took things back in house and switched warehouses in the process (from LA to Ohio). They are still working through some logistics issues, which is unfortunate. Size 12s are in short supply in several colorways and sold out in many cases. Hopefully, they'll have things...
@ocdg- I would add that the PE has actual ventilation in the forefoot, even with the extra layer, whereas the Chinese version has it partially printed, no actual perforations.
As an aside, The Finals Sale 30% off will end by 9am PDT. Last Call!
There is one PE model that can be found in China. We had it stripped down from it's original version, which would likely have prompted a multi-million dollar suit by Disney. Now, it's a simple olive green nubuck KT2 available in very limited editions at select Anta stores. They can do what...
@thapointguy, the box may be nicer, but the shoes aren't. I mean, they're not bad, but they're not the PE. The PE midsoles have more cushion and the upper materials & quality are what Klay actually wears.
@edmunddantes2, if you can find a freight forwarder, I'd go with the PE. From the materials to the construction and where it's constructed are all totally different. Even the last used to construct the shoes is different. Some of these aspects where previously covered, including cutaways from...
The warehouse used by Anta America is slower than all get out! I believe this may be the situation with many 3PLs (third party logistics). Hopefully, they come soon.
If you weren't aware, antaamerica.com had a huge sale over Memorial Day weekend. Due to it's tremendous success, we've extended the sale through June 3rd. We recognize that we did have issues with an earlier sale and the ability to use the DUB30 discount. Well, here's what you've been waiting...
The reason they look better is that these are very different from the hibasketballshoes or famujisneakers stuff you're typically seeing. They do look especially nice on the leather background though! You just can't do that for online sales though.
Shoe Palace is our primary retail partner, however, they forgot to follow the calendar. They didn't do a formal drop with these. No announced apparel plans at this point.
The Chase - Home and Away were dropped early by Shoe Palace. I will say no more. If you are worried about the discount code, if the 20% gets used up there is also the 15% that doesn't have a quota and can be used on the sale shoes too.
I'll give you notice on our drop date of The Chase, at...
One 7.5 Fadeaway left @antaamerica, check @shoepalace - unfortunately they don't have omnichannel, so a store could have it, but not their eComm site, you can call Shoe Palace. No reorders. With the Warriors on to the Western Finals, Code Red, Bahama are on sale, Tribute will go on sale soon...
The difference in the detail between the In-market shoe and the Player's Edition is remarkable. The Chase Home, as we refer to it will be released soon. We currently are selling the Post Home and Post Away shoes, that are called the Blazing3, though we didn't pick up the bright yellow w/...
@scurrythrees the KT2 Players Edition were the first run of shoes specifically made for the American market and they were produced in the same factory (line) as Klay's shoes and based on his favorite last, which is similar to the older Hyperdunk. Klay has a long narrower foot. The limited...
Alright, we'll add another 5 uses, just for @initialblue - here's the code ntanta2nd05. 5 additional uses of the discount code.
Of course, the Post Home and the Post Away are our current top sellers. Since launching ANTA America with the KT2 Player's Edition - exclusively available in the...
antaamerica.com is the only place to find Post Home and Post Away. Shoe Palace won't be picking them up until the end of the month and only at select stores.
@Kaz109 - I thought I mentioned that the KT2 Player's Edition wouldn't feature size 11.5. However, I believe you'll find the 12 fits if you are a typical 11.5. We do have plans to expand the line in Q4 to include 11.5s. Size 14 will be out in our Q3 summer court shoes. Q4 should also...
