PIC: Kyrie Irving drops 3rd brand new colorway of 'Hélà' signature ANTA sneakers on China tour
Dallas Mavericks star point guard Kyrie Irving is spending time in China as part of his commitment to ANTA. Irving has been seen interacting with fans and in one instance, was even parading a Kobe Bryant jersey while adoring fans mobbed him and chanted his name.
During his time in China, it appears he is also giving the fans a glimpse of his upcoming shoe. Irving was spotted wearing a purple variant of his Hélà Style shoes.
Unlike the previous sneakers that Kyrie Irving has released with ANTA since partnering with the brand, the Hélà Style shoes do not look like they're meant for the court.
Instead, this series of suede kicks will cater more to lifestyle enthusiasts and will be more suitable for casual outfits.
At the time of writing, no release date has been given for the purple suede Hela Style shoes. Additionally, there is no price tag for them just yet.
The shoes do not seem to be posted on the ANTA website yet.
In the meantime, fans who want to grab themselves a pair of Irving's signature sneakers can browse the different colorways available for the ANTA Kai 1.

ANTA KAI 1 "KAI-leidoscope" are latest to drop in Kyrie Irving's 'KAI 1' series
Kyrie Irving and ANTA have been releasing different colorways for the ANTA KAI 1 throughout 2024.
This started with the 'Artists On Court' colorway which was released in March. The 'Enlightened Warrior' colorway followed about a month after releasing on April 12. This colorway featured a vibrant combination of colors dominated by a black-and-white scheme along with shades of pink, purple and orange.
This was followed by the 'Playoffs' colorway, which dropped only several days later. The first release of the 'Playoffs' featured two different styles, one in navy and another in white. A third variant of this colorway was released in June called the 'Playoffs Energy.'
The month of June saw another 'KAI 1' colorway release known as the 'Green Grails.' The next drop came in July which featured the 'Garden State' colorway.
After that, ANTA and Kyrie Irving released the KAI-leidoscope which became available on Aug. 31. Aside from the standard variant, this also came with a version for kids.
Another colorway of the 'KAI 1' was teased and this pays homage to Irving's college, Duke. This sneaker features the colors of the Duke Blue Devils, which Irving played for in 2010-11 before he was drafted into the NBA. This particular colorway was also shown while Irving was in China but no details regarding its release date or price tag have been made available.
There are several colorways for fans to choose from while they wait for the Hélà Lifestyle Shoes to drop. Additionally, it looks like there are a few more designs for the 'KAI 1' for fans to look forward to.
