Kyrie Irving and ANTA Announce “The Return” World Tour

Kyrie Irving is taking his next chapter back on the road.

The eight-time NBA All-Star and ANTA Basketball Chief Creative Officer has announced “The Return,” a multi-country world tour set to span China, Indonesia, and the United States this summer, with a final stop in Macau later this year. The tour begins June 22 in Shanghai before moving through Chengdu, Shenzhen, Jakarta, Las Vegas, New Jersey, and Macau.

For Irving, the tour arrives at a meaningful point in his career. As he continues working toward his return to NBA competition, the Dallas Mavericks guard is also continuing to build the global basketball community that has become central to his partnership with ANTA.

The tour will mark Irving’s third major ANTA trip through Asia, further strengthening a relationship that has grown well beyond footwear. Since joining the brand, Irving has taken on a larger creative role, helping shape ANTA Basketball through signature sneakers, storytelling, youth development, and community-focused activations.

“The Return” will include a range of basketball, culture, and fan experiences across each stop. Irving is expected to visit ANTA retail concepts such as ANTA Market and ANTA Arena, take part in livestream sessions tied to limited-edition product releases, engage with local cultural centers, and appear at activations including art fairs and Uncle Drew Circuit basketball camps.

ANTA will also bring ANTALAND into Uncle Drew Circuit events in Las Vegas and New Jersey, creating a more interactive environment around basketball, culture, innovation, and community.

While the tour carries a clear connection to Irving’s return from injury, it also reflects the broader role he continues to play off the court. Across China, Asia, and beyond, Irving’s influence has resonated with fans who connect with his message of individuality, creativity, and self-expression.

Rather than spending the offseason quietly, Irving is using the moment to reconnect with the communities that have supported him throughout his career.

The Kyrie Irving x ANTA “The Return” World Tour begins June 22 in Shanghai and continues through October.
