The ANTA Kai 1 Chief Hela "Red" Releases October 2026
Quick Summary
- ANTA Kai 1 "Chief Hela Red" releases October 24th, 2026 for $135 retail via ANTA and select retailers.
- The colorway honors Kyrie Irving's connection to Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the name "Little Mountain" he received there.
- Red textured panels, diamond and triangle patterns, red suede collar, and gold tongue details complete the culturally grounded design.
ANTA is bringing back Kyrie Irving's first signature shoe with the Kai 1 "Chief Hela Red," marking the model's first release of 2026. The colorway takes its name from Irving's personal connection to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, where he completed an ancestral ceremony and received the name "Little Mountain." That cultural grounding gives this release a more specific foundation than a standard seasonal colorway.
Red dominates the build from top to bottom, with a brighter shade landing on the textured toe and support panels while darker red knit mesh fills the base of the upper. Diamond and triangle patterns run across those panels, adding a graphic quality that ties back to the shoe's cultural reference points. Red suede wraps around the collar and heel for a premium touch, and gold details appear on the tongue in the form of Kyrie's logo, with his jersey number placed near the base of the laces.
The ANTA Kai 1 Chief Hela "Red" is set to release on October 24th, 2026 via ANTA and select retailers for a retail price of $135. Unisex sizing will be available online and in-store.
