Kyrie Irving’s next destination in Southeast Asia has been confirmed.
The NBA champion will head to Jakarta for his second visit in this region, ANTA Philippines announced through its official social media channels.
Dubbed ‘The Return,’ Irving is headed to the Indonesian capital on June 30, and the Chinese brand’s local arm is giving Filipino fans a chance to be part of it.
ANTA Philippines launched a raffle on June 5, where five lucky winners will receive an exclusive ticket each to see the global hoops icon in person.
Those who wish to partake are given two options to try their luck: first, by purchasing any ANTA KAI 3 pair at any ANTA store for one raffle entry.
Another is by purchasing a pair of the ANTA KAI Team 2 plus an ANTA KAI apparel item at any ANTA store, which merits one raffle entry as well.
The draw to select the five raffle winners will be on June 21. The winners will be announced through ANTA Philippines’ Facebook and Instagram pages.
The raffle prize covers event access only, ANTA Philippines clarified. Travel and accommodation expenses will be shouldered by the winners.
Irving’s ‘The Return’ tour with ANTA is looking to sustain–or perhaps surpass–the success of his first visit in Southeast Asia back in September of 2024.
He flew to Bangkok, Thailand, following a massive five-day trip to China for the launch of the ANTA KAI Speed as the brand’s Chief Creative Officer.
Two years later, Jakarta will be lucky to be graced by the presence of the former FIBA Basketball World Cup MVP, who joined the sporting giant in 2023.
With this, Filipino fans may have to wait a little longer before seeing Irving in Manila, with ANTA Philippines among those hoping he visits soon.
Yet there should be no denying that even his supporters based in the Philippines have grown excited with the development, based on reactions online.
Many have been waiting for Irving to visit, as local basketball fans have become enamored with the KAI series since its launch in 2024.
And ANTA Philippines itself has played a crucial role in it, as it has been aggressive in promoting and selling the signature line over the years.
