Inspired by nature's marvel—the intricate cocoon spun by silkworms—ANTA introduces its revolutionary XIAN Technology Instep. This innovation redefines a lightweight, resilient, and breathable wearing experience, much like being embraced by a cocoon.

Crafted using ANTA's patented XIAN Technology, the instep mirrors a cocoon structure. Departing from standard weaving and conventional knitting techniques, the fabric is precisely woven using a single core yarn, forming a customizable, personalized mesh that combines high strength and ultra-light weight. The intersections in the mesh create breathable holes, promoting uninhibited ventilation to keep feet cool and dry even during intense workouts.

Additionally, the production process utilizes AI-driven machinery to fine-tune each yarn strand, allowing for free yarn routing and parameterized precise partitioning. The result is an unparalleled level of personalization in fit and wearing comfort. Moreover, the yarn is coated with the TPU available in diverse colors and sizes, enabling the customization of patterns and textures. Beyond practicality, this design makes a personalized style statement that resonates with each user's aesthetic preferences.
