    Mavs FIRST LOOK: Kyrie Irving's Anta Kai 1 'USA' Pack Revealed

    By Dalton Trigg,

    Although Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving was snubbed from having the opportunity to compete with Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics this summer, that hasn't stopped him from showing his patriotism with the latest version of his signature shoe.

    As seen in the post below, the Anta Kai 1 "USA" pack has the looks of what could be a quick sellout for Irving, that is, if the shoes are even made available to the public. Those details have yet to be made known.

    Irving's "USA" shoes might not be available to purchase, but they've already been seen on the feet of a handful of Team USA 3x3 basketball players in Paris.

    In hindsight, Irving being left off the Team USA roster was a blessing in disguise, as he has been able to get in a full summer of rest following the Mavs' run to the NBA Finals last season. Irving also had to have surgery on his hand during the offseason as well, but it appears to be recovering well, as he was seen teaching basketball to youngsters in Greece last weekend with no cast or brace on the hand.

    "I wish my brothers well. I just didn't fit into this team," Irving told reporters earlier this year when he found out he didn't make the Team USA roster cut.

    "The deliberation process was a tough one. But again, I have nothing but respect for those guys over at USA Basketball. At this point in my career, I think my focus should be on winning a championship, and in the summertime, I'm just going to support those guys when I get a chance."

    Team USA's quest for gold continues on Tuesday as they take on Brazil in the quarterfinals at 2:30 p.m. CT. The game can be watched on USA or Peacock.
