Anta’s Smart Control Waterless Dyeing Shoe Upper Technology revolutionizes footwear upper design, offering consumers a premium, stylish, and personalized solution.

The technology employs jacquard weaving equipment paired with a digital color palette and a waterless yarn dyeing technique to create monochromatic or polychromatic uppers, contributing to more colorful and creative footwear design. It boasts multiple significant advantages. Firstly, the technology, performed through computerized precision control and specialized machinery, simultaneously colors over 10,000 strands of yarn without the use of water, and enables rapid, even dyeing to effectively eliminate undyed spots. Secondly, it perfectly blends exceptional efficiency with high color fastness: rivaling traditional water-based dyeing methods in color fastness, it maintains vibrant colors over time, freeing consumers from worrying about fading due to friction or washing. Thirdly, the technology breaks the limitations of traditional woven fabrics by achieving infinite colors within a single-layer fabric, not only meeting diverse chromatic demands but also ensuring lightweight and thin characteristics for enhanced wearing comfort. Fourthly, it excels in regular or irregular gradient and ombre effects, satisfying personalized aesthetic needs, with seamless color transitions improving visual layering and exuding artistic elegance.

In addition, Anta’s Smart Control Waterless Dyeing Shoe Upper Technology demonstrates outstanding eco-friendly performance. In producing uppers for every 10,000 pairs of shoes, it saves 8.64 tons of water and reduces 0.23 tons of carbon emissions. At a time when the world is advocating for green development, this innovation reflects the brand’s commitment to social responsibility as an industry leader.
