Kyrie Irving’s injury absence has been a huge detriment to the Dallas Mavericks in the first half of the season, and Klay, AD, and Coop can’t wait for Kai to get back to full health. Still, the man with the league’s best handles has kept busy away from the court, including a consistent push on the lifestyle side of his ANTA sneaker line.
After bringing the Hélà Style Roots silhouette to the States earlier this year, Kyrie and ANTA are continuing the designer skate silhouette’s gradient ombre theme with a sunrise-inspired pink colorway. Finding its inspiration from the soft pink hues that rise over the skyline at dawn, the pink suede upper shifts to nearly white at the toe and blush pink towards the heel. Like the rest of the Hélà Style Roots line, the shoe features a multi-lace system similar to Lanvin sneakers. The pink ombre colorway comes complete with a mess of pink, blue, teal, grey, and white laces.
ANTA Hélà Style Roots Pink Ombre
Kyrie has been the face of ANTA since he joined the Chinese sneaker brand in 2023. In the two and a half years since, Irving has released two performance basketball sneakers with the Kai 1 and Kai 2, as well as a full line of lifestyle shoes inspired by his Native American heritage and love for skate shoes. After debuting as a China-exclusive silhouette, the Hélà Style Roots has been leading the Kyrie lifestyle line since it touched down in the US over the summer.
The ANTA Hélà Style Roots Pink Ombre will be released December 11, 2025 through ANTA and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $125. For all the latest Kyrie Irving sneaker news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
