THE HÉLÀ CODE: A NEW STANDARD IN STYLE AND PERFORMANCE

The collection debuts in five unique colorways, each representing a distinct variation of the HÉLÀ Code.

Kairoglyphics—As leader of a new generation, Irving channels the regal grace of a pharaoh whose reign is rooted in love, vision, and power. This design reflects his role as athlete, creator, and cultural architect. Materials: Embossed tan Kairoglyphics on the upper, finished with gold trims and brown boot leather hits, merging heritage with durability.

Astral Eye—Guided by the third eye, Irving moves with vision beyond the physical. Each step channels clarity and transformation, turning the grind of daily life into an astral journey of flow and higher purpose. Materials: Cosmic sublimated prints and speckled paint across the upper evoke astral planes, while oversized retro laces symbolize cloaked focus and discipline.

Monotone Codes—Stone Craft, Ink of KAIro and Papyrus White. Three single-color variations showcase timeless versatility while honoring the strength of legacy and grounding. Materials: A mixture of suede and leather in clean white, deep brown, and warm tan. Each design incorporates the Irving Family Camo, a signature pattern representing Kyrie’s closest loved ones. Used as lining and print throughout the HÉLÀ collections, the Family Camo is placed nearest to the body as a shield of protection—a reminder of the strength and grounding that comes from family.

PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN DESIGN

The HÉLÀ Code reflects ANTA’s performance engineering paired with Irving’s skateboarding influences. Each detail balances functionality with storytelling: EVA midsole for comfort and energy return; Herringbone traction outsole ensuring multidirectional grip; Headdress-inspired embroidered upper combining suede, leather, and Kai Code hieroglyphic textures; Cushioned footbed and fit-to-foot tongue delivering breathable, all-day support; Bold board-inspired laces bridging skate culture and basketball heritage.
