Anta launched the Anta Gordon Hayward GH4 - Kiwi fruit in summer 2023. Inspired by the Chinese kiwi fruit, the shoes are green and very fresh. The shoes are stylish and simple and comfortable to wear.
Anta Gordon Hayward GH4 - Kiwi fruit is inspired by one of the main cultivars of Chinese kiwifruit. The shoe's body color resembles the kiwi fruit's flesh, while the brown rubber outsole is based on the color of the skin, and the TPU spray color process simulates the "crunchy texture" of the kiwi flesh. In addition, the Hayward 4th generation Kiwi colorway comes with a special gift box design. The all-green gift box mimics the packaging style of kiwi fruit, and is adorned with the Hayward logo and "20" jersey elements to create an exclusive colorway for "Hayward Kiwifruit." The Hayward 4th generation has reduced the weight of the shoe upper by 22% compared to the 3rd generation, which improves the lightweight feel and wrapping performance. The lateral slip resistance and forefoot rebound ability have increased by 16% and 7%, respectively, providing stronger technical support for rapid changes of direction on the court.
In addition, the dual stability of lateral and heel protects the players on the court. The design details constantly echo the inspiration trajectory of Hayward's love for cars, including the engine cover on the heel of the shoe, the Hayward car window logo, honeycomb-like heat sink texture, and nitrogen technology one-click start. In addition, the design of the tape system, four-point hollowing, and four dots on the outsole all represent the "4th generation" label. Hayward's personal signature and logo are located on the inside of the heel of the left and right feet, respectively. The texture pattern at the bottom of the heel is designed by combining Hayward's hometown of Indiana with basketball. The "March 23, 1990" printed on the factory nameplate is Hayward's birthday.
