2 Fresh Drops From Kyrie x ANTA & Salomon Serve Boss Style & Epic Comfort
From Kyrie Irving's heritage-inspired ANTA collab to Salomon's street-meets-trail stunner, these kicks are made to turn heads on and off the court.
Kyrie Irving x ANTA Hélà Style 'Roots'
Kyrie Irving and ANTA are expanding their collaboration with the return of the Hélà Style 'Roots,' now available in two new colourways, 'Ombre Blue' and 'Ombre Black.'
First introduced as a China-exclusive, the sneaker blends skate-inspired styling with Irving's personal connection to heritage and spiritual identity.
The low-top silhouette is crafted from breathable split cow suede leather, enhanced with detailed embroidery, moccasin-inspired fringes and vibrant laces for a touch of individuality.
Functionality is built in through a durable rubber outsole that offers dependable traction and an EVA midsole that keeps the shoe lightweight and comfortable for daily wear.
One of the standout design features is the sneaker's outsole, divided into four symbolic 'plates.'
Each plate reflects a core aspect of Kyrie's worldview – family roots, court legacy, tribal lineage and cultural unity — turning the shoe into a piece that carries both style and storytelling.
With its balance of premium materials, thoughtful symbolism and versatile design, the Hélà Style 'Roots' is equally at home on the streets, on the court or as part of a collection.
It represents Irving's ongoing commitment to authenticity while offering a wearable expression of his values.
The Kyrie Irving x ANTA Hélà Style 'Roots' will be available on 16th August for US$125 (~RM530) at ANTA stores, online, and select global retailers.
Nike Air Max 95 QS YGO
Salomon is expanding its lifestyle-meets-performance lineup with the XT-WHISPER VOID, a unisex sneaker that blends technical innovation with expressive design.
Originally created for women athletes, the silhouette has evolved into a versatile staple that celebrates individuality while staying true to Salomon's trail-running DNA.
Set to drop in four distinctive colourways – 'Black/Black/Silver Metallic,' 'Liberty/Astral Aura/Dynasty Green,' 'Alloy/Castlerock/Ftw Silver,' and the much-anticipated 'Vanilla Ice/Vanilla Ice/Ftw Silver' – the XT-WHISPER VOID offers something for every style personality.
From sleek monochrome to vibrant, iridescent tones, each pair delivers a unique visual identity.
The launch campaign features Seoul-based street style icon Cheri in a surreal, dreamlike short film inspired by the sneaker's tagline Style whispers, personality echoes. More than just footwear, the XT-WHISPER VOID is a canvas for creative self-expression and it delivers on performance too.
It comes with Salomon's Sensifit™ system for a secure fit, Quicklace™ for fast adjustments, Agile Chassis™ for stability and lightweight breathable mesh for all-day comfort. The sculpted outsole provides reliable traction, making it ready for both city streets and outdoor paths.
The Salomon XT-WHISPER VOID will be available starting 20th August for US$160 (~RM680) at Salomon stores, online, and select global retailers.

Inspired By Divers & Runners, New Collabs From SOAR x Altra & Ama x Salomon Are Forces Of Nature!
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: collab drops are always among the most exciting products to get a hold of, not only for the exclusivity of having them, but also for their unconventional creativity and design. You never know what to expect when two great minds or companies join together – and these pairs exceed all expectations! SOAR x Altra Trail Gear Collection Altra and SOAR, two titans of the running world, recently came together to create a new collection. Thanks to SOAR's love of high-performance clothing and Altra's knowledge of footwear, the two have put together a comprehensive trail racing system that maximises performance capabilities. Reportedly 'engineered for speed, protection, comfort, and control,' this line was tested by top athletes and features race-day equipment that can withstand the heat, long distances, and rough terrain. The pair's interpretation of the Mont Blanc Carbon is the capsule's focal point. A sole unit that combines a full-length carbon plate for propulsion with a dual-density midsole and Vibram outsole is one of the many features that make these trail shoes race-ready. Its vibrant 'Prism' style complements the clothing by fusing white with a range of hues and acknowledging the two through co-branding. The Trail Race Top, a featherlight top with UPF 50 protection at the shoulders and upper arms, is the first piece of the rest of the racing system. Additionally, it has ultralight mesh at the torso and panels that are resistant to abrasion. The coordinating lightweight cap complements this. The pair's Trail Race Shorts, which are made using RHEON, a reactive superpolymer created using NASA technology, complete the collection. In response to running's impact, it stiffens to absorb energy and then relaxes for comfort. Integrated storage and a waistband-free design highlight comfort. SOAR x Altra's collab collection is available now via SOAR, Altra, and select specialty shops. The Mont Blanc Carbon trail shoes cost US$260 (~RM1,099), while the clothing ranges from the Printed Run Cap for US$65 (~RM274) to the Trail Race Top for US$200 (~RM846) and the Trail Race Shorts for US$285 (~RM1,205). Ama x Salomon XT-Whisper Void By consistently reinventing the silhouette and growing its universe through innovative new partnerships and colourways, Salomon's XT-Whisper continues to be a top choice for the footwear brand. In a collaboration with her creative agency, I Came Home Late Studios, British singer-songwriter Ama has joined forces with Salomon to offer the Ama x Salomon XT-Whisper Void. The redesigned Whisper comes in a whimsical colourway of Vanilla Ice, Fusion Coral, and Emberglow. Each colour design has a deeper meaning that is inspired by the sea and the bravery of Japanese 'Ama' divers, who have been plunging into the ocean for centuries to collect pearls. Seaweed green appropriately honours the greenery that resides beneath the undercurrents, coral orange symbolises 'a flash of life—vivid, raw, and the same shade that warms the gloves of the divers,' and white speaks to the 'treasure sought in silence.' In terms of functionality, the new collaborative Whisper Void has an Agile Chassis system that guarantees stability, support, and grip in addition to the traditional Sensifi™ and Quicklace precision fit. 'Number one (reason to wear Salomon) is functionality, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you're a fashion girl, there's nothing more annoying than having shoes that don't feel good,' Ama explained in a press statement. She further discussed her personal affinity for the brand, as it served as the core footing for the collaborative venture. The Ama x Salomon XT-Whisper Void is available now at Salomon's official and other websites. The pair is retailing for US$170 (~RM719).
