A full-circle moment unfolded as Klay Thompson marked 12 years with ANTA, highlighted by a special presentation from CEO Samuel Tsui. The spotlight landed on a silver KT11, symbolizing longevity and the steady evolution of his signature line. Wearing a custom “Klay For Life” jacket, the moment reflected a partnership that has grown into a global force in basketball footwear.
That growth shows in the numbers. The Klay Thompson ANTA line has surpassed 10 million pairs sold, reinforcing its place in the performance category. The consistency of this run points to a rare alignment between athlete and brand, with each phase of his career mirrored through the model’s progression.
“ANTA was taking a chance on me, and I was taking a chance on them. It was a match made in heaven,” Klay Thompson told Samuel Tsui after a decade with the brand. “When I started wearing ANTA, my career just took off. I was able to break some records, win some championships, play in All-Star Games and Olympic gold medal games.
“I’m so grateful for their backing, and it’s inspired me to keep going,” continued Klay. “My time in Asia, the Philippines, and all over the world has been so special. To grow the game and see the fans is something I don’t take for granted and will cherish for the rest of my life.”
The KT11 and the broader Klay Thompson ANTA partnership continue to carry that global impact forward, with future releases expected to build on this foundation.
