Looking for a new shoe to wear on the court and you’ve narrowed it down between the ANTA KT 10 and ANTA KT 11 from Klay Thompson’s signature line up of shoes from ANTA? Both models are great and built for serious court performance, but they each support a different style of player. So picking the right shoe comes more down to knowing what kind of player you are.

ANTA KT 10: For Shooters Who Play Under Control 

The ANTA KT 10 is built for players who are like unmovable rocks, calm and always in control, waiting for the other team to make a mistake for them to capitalize on. Players who like to stay balanced, set their feet, and make the right play without rushing. Such as shooters who work patiently for space, wings who expect contact, and players who rely on repeatable footwork from one possession to the next.

Its full-length NITROEDGE cushioning, carbon-fiber plate, nylon support cables, and TPU stabilizers work together to keep the shoe firm and controlled during stops, pivots, defensive slides, and jump shots. When you plant your foot, the shoe is designed to make you feel stable and secure in your position, unshakable, until you’re ready to make your play. This design is especially useful in plays where you are coming off a screen, stepping into a catch-and-shoot opportunity, or holding your ground through contact. The ANTA KT 10 is a shoe that supports players who want every movement to feel deliberate.

ANTA KT 11: For Shooters Who Create Space on the Move

Players who rarely stay in one spot and shooters who sprint around screens, relocate after a pass, attack a closeout, and pull up before the defense can recover will find that the ANTA KT 11 is perfect for them. Its NITRO 80+ cushioning is designed to respond through quick stops and changes of direction, while the 180° TPU heel support helps keep your foot secure as you move. A lightweight liquid-rubber outsole completes the setup, giving the shoe a quicker, more natural feel through fast possessions.

That makes the ANTA KT 11 a strong choice for guards and wings who create shots with movement. Whether you are curling into a jumper, cutting into open space, or turning a closeout into a drive, the shoe is built to stay responsive without making every step feel overly controlled.

The design also connects this chapter of the line to Klay Thompson’s history with ANTA. The eagle-feather heel pattern references the original ANTA KT 1, while details tied to his jersey number, career journey, and dog Recco gives the shoe a personal homage to Klay’s ongoing journey and legend.
