Kyrie Irving & Anta Unveil New Lifestyle Sneaker
The Kai Hela
Following the reveal of Kyrie Irving's Anta Kai Tribe sneaker earlier this year, it's clear that Anta has plans to expand its footwear lineup beyond basketball. Now, a sneak peek at Irving’s latest creation with the brand, the Anta Kai Hela, hints at a new direction in lifestyle footwear.
Recently shared images on Instagram by @Nicekicks, @Kyriecenter, and Irving himself give fans an early look at the Anta Kai Hela, showcasing multiple versions of the sneaker. The design features a low-cut upper with Anta branding placed on the toe, midfoot, and heel tab. Some variations of the shoe also introduce unique design elements, such as multiple shoelaces attached to the side panels, and a moccasin-inspired version adds an unexpected twist. The sneaker is completed with a chunky midsole, giving it a bold and modern look.
While fans now have an early glimpse of the Kai Hela, Anta has yet to announce official release details for the sneaker. Stay tuned for more updates as anticipation builds around Kyrie Irving’s expanding collaboration with Anta.
