Before he makes his long-awaited return to the Golden State Warriors starting lineup, Klay Thompson is dropping a new pair of kicks. With his new set of signature shoes, the Warriors three-time All-Star will be honoring a martial arts legend.
According to ESPN’s Nick DePaula, Thompson is releasing a new pair of his Anta KT6 signature shoe with a Bruce Lee theme. The new pair of kicks are primarily yellow with black accents — a perfect match for the Golden State Warriors uniforms.
Along with the Lee themed colorway, there’s a quote from the famous martial arts movie star striped on one side of the shoe. The KT6 “Dragon” reads, “water can flow or crash, be water my friends.”

Thompson isn’t the first NBA star to don a Lee themed basketball shoes. Both Kobe Bryant and Kyrie Irving have released a Lee centric colorway for their Nike signatures shoes.
During the Los Angeles Lakers run to an NBA title inside the Orlando Bubble, Kentucky Wildcats product Anthony Davis donned Bryant’s version of the “Bruce Lee” Nike shoes.
