Drawing inspiration from nature's marvel of the silkworm's intricate cocoon, ANTA introduces its revolutionary XIAN Technology Instep. This innovation redefines a lightweight, resilient, and breathable wearing experience, much like being embraced by a cocoon.

Harnessing ANTA's patented XIAN Technology, the instep is meticulously woven from a single core yarn, resulting in a unique mesh structure that combines high strength, ultra-light weight, and optimal elasticity for unparalleled comfort. The intersections in the mesh create breathable holes, promoting uninhibited ventilation to keep feet refreshingly dry even during intense workouts.

The innovation goes even further with integrated AI technology, taking the manufacturing process to new heights of personalization. This smart integration enables free yarn routing and parameterized precise partitioning. Additionally, the yarn is coated with the TPU material available in various colors and sizes. This technological advancement breaks traditional constraints in design, allowing for customizable patterns and textures. Beyond mere functionality, this design makes a personalized style statement that aligns with each user's aesthetic preferences.
