Anta released its East Bay Times x Anta Klay Thompson KT4 "Return" Men's Basketball Shoes in summer 2019. The shoe was inspired by Thompson's pregame newspaper reading habit, as well as his role as the face of East Bay Times, to create the new newspaper-inspired kt4, called Return.
East Bay Times x Anta Klay Thompson KT4 "Return" Men's Basketball Shoes features unique newspaper elements and impeccable attention to detail, making it highly valuable for collectors. The KT4's design is typical of basketball shoes, with a flat forefoot and a hard plastic stability plate on the side, providing anti-rollover support along the slanted midsole. The ANTA logo is cleverly incorporated on the side. The toe cap is upturned to protect the toes, and the shoe collar uses the popular sock-like design, adding to its style and convenience. The design pays tribute to Klay Thompson's habit of reading newspapers before games and his role as an ambassador for the East Bay Times. It is a testament to Thompson's influence and impact. The colorway is dominated by newspaper-inspired elements throughout the shoe, with white printed laces adding a touch of elegance. The transfer-printed leather upper provides excellent support and wrap. The shoe's midsole also features ANTA's A-FLASHFOAM technology, as seen in the KT4.
