ANTA Hélà Style “Ancestral Flame” and “Groundwork” Are Here

Two colors. Infinite meaning. The new ANTA Hélà Style has arrived, introducing “Ancestral Flame” and “Groundwork” bold, court-inspired designs that channel Kyrie Irving’s heritage, energy, and vision.

These shoes are the definition of a stunning story that you can both wear and tear up the court in. It’s visible and clearly painted across every stitch, every plate, every step.

 

A Canvas of Identity

Each pair is a surface where Kyrie’s worldview is expressed in bold colors and details. Inspired by tribal patterns and finished with top-grain leather, every single detail carries weight. The first feature is Kai’s shield: Premium craftsmanship meets durability, built to move as fast as Kyrie’s game. His code: Speed, Focus, Agility, and Strength are distilled into a single design philosophy. And last, but not least, is his signature. The mark of authenticity that makes the sneaker unmistakably his.

Four Plates. One Worldview.

Flip the shoe and the outsole tells the rest of the story. Divided into four symbolic plates, it becomes a map of Kyrie’s journey:

  1. Root Plate: A foundation of family, honoring his mother and father.

  2. Court Plate: The essence of his No. 11, locked in with elite herringbone grip.

  3. Tribal Plate: “Hélà Chief” etching is a direct nod to his Indigenous lineage.

  4. Cultural Plate: The fusion of Native and Eastern symbols, uniting protection, balance, and healing.

A Fiery Drop, Two Bold Statements

Which one will be the one for you? The fire of “Ancestral Flame”? An energy that refuses to be ignored. Fierce, passionate, and alive. Or perhaps the classic “Groundwork” is more up your alley. Sleek restraint with power underneath—calm on the surface, fire within. Together, they embody duality: light and dark, restraint and expression, tradition and innovation.

A Step Toward Sustainability

With insoles and midsoles crafted from recycled materials, this drop grounds forward-thinking performance in responsibility. Every move respects both the game and the planet.
