The ANTA Hélà Style "Chief Hélà" sneakers are the latest rendition that the ANTA brand has to offer sneakerheads this month. According to the ANTA brand, the newest iteration of the "Chief Hélà" sneakers will be released on January 25, 2025. This pair of kicks is labeled with a selling price of $100 and can be copped via ANTA and other affiliated retailers.
This isn't the first time that Kyrie Irving has collaborated with the Chinese brand. His first collaboration with ANTA produced the 2024 ANTA KAI 1, which was released in October. And now, the "Chief Hélà" design is coming back in the Hélà Style model.
More details on the ANTA Hélà Style "Chief Hélà" sneakers
The Chinese sportswear brand describes its latest Chief Hélà model as follows:
"Named after Kyrie Irving's gifted Lakota name meaning "Little Mountain," the Chief Hélà colorway reflects his connection to his Lakota heritage and the spirit of the land, as well as the strength and wisdom he draws from his tribe."
Kyrie Irving's Indigenous native roots inspire the design of the ANTA Hélà Style "Chief Hélà" sneakers, and the name of the sneakers pays homage to his Lakota name, 'Hela.' The sneakers mimic the colorway of their 2024 counterpart, the ANTA KAI 1. They come in an earthy brown color-blocking scheme and feature uppers crafted from shaggy suede with fringe embellishments around the collar.
The American basketball star describes the ANTA Hélà Style "Chief Hélà" sneakers as follows:
"Every step I take in my journey honors my ancestors and the strength they've passed down to me. The 'Chief Hélà' shoe is more than just a design; it's a tribute to where I come from and a symbol of unity and progress."
This lifestyle pair of kicks features removable vibrant beads on the vamp and collar that showcase a unique blend of personal meaning with cultural heritage and increase its appeal as a street fashion staple. The sneakers also feature an emboldened tribal pattern and accents around the shoes, and Kyrie's unique logo can be spotted on the tongue.
Brand detailing includes a bold white 'Hela Chief' print embossed on the heels. A quick peek into the sneakers reveals the multicolored sock liner, which features an arresting geometric pattern that matches the vibrant beads on the collar. The shoes have a cream-colored midsole that contrasts with the earthy-toned upper and a tough outsole that provides adequate traction.
Interested individuals should mark their calendars and stay tuned to the ANTA official website, as these limited-edition shoes will be available starting at 11 AM CT.
