ANTA Weightlifting Shoe Black/White (Discontinued)

STOCK NOTE: We are likely not restocking ANTA shoes. We wrote in more detail about this on the @hookgripstore instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck1w_6ou8aT/.

—–

We can only ship these shoes to the Americas (all of North, Central and South America), European Economic Zone (including UK & Ireland), New Zealand and Australia. These are rules imposed on us by ANTA, we requested to be able to ship shoes worldwide. The store will not let you check out with a shipping address outside of the allowed countries.

In addition, some international orders may ship without a box to save on shipping costs. Most countries, we do ship with a box. But in rare cases when shipping to certain countries, adding the box can trigger a major jump which adds $20+ in our shipping costs — in those rare cases we may not include the box for those non-USA orders.

Product Description

Synthetic leather upper, TPU sole. Made by “ANTA Sports Products Limited” in China. These are the same shoes as those worn by the Chinese national team but due to rules ANTA must follow, the design has been changed to eliminate references to China and the Chinese flag. ANTA cannot export products with the word China or representations of the Chinese flag. In addition, these also are a modified and exclusive colorway available only on our store.

Heel Height

At this point, we have no accurate way to actually measure effective heel height without destroying a pair of shoes. Based on feel alone, the heel height feels equivalent to the Nike Romaleo 2. Note that the heel height cannot be judged from looking at the shoe as the plastic cup on the heel rises well above where the heel actually rises to.

Size Information

We have done size testing and we’ve concluded that these shoes fit VERY similar to Nike Romaleo 2s with the slight exception that they are very slightly narrower. If you order the same size as your Romaleo 2s, there is a very high likelihood that these ANTAs will fit. The ANTAs run slightly wider than the Adidas Adipower but are very slightly shorter in our tests. But due to the width differences, they feel like similar sizing as well — although not quite as similar as the Romaleo. We plan on doing more size comparisons in the future but this is all we’ve done at this point.

You can see more sizing info in this comparison video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjXI3ZLGvyo) and also in this followup video with some more information (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gAdSPT_qdo).  These black/white ANTAs are the same sizing as the black/red and red/yellow ANTAs that we’ve had for sale since 2015.

These are the sizes that are available in US male sizing: 2.5, 3, 4, 5.5, 6.5, 7, 8, 8.5, 9.5, 10, 11, 12, 12.5, 13.5. This is every size that ANTA makes from 2.5 to 13.5, we did not skip any half sizes that are available in their production run.

Returns & Exchange Policy for ANTA shoes

• We will carefully pack all shoes however, we are not guaranteeing that the shoe box will be free of imperfections. Do not purchase this item if a pristine shoe box is important to you.
• Within the USA, we can do size exchanges for like new shoes. You will pay the return shipping back to us, we will pay for the shipping back to you (unless shipping was free on the way to you). We will not exchange any used shoes.

Shipping Costs

We will charge increased shipping prices for these shoes because we would lose money if we had to ship at our normal flat rate charges. To check the rate, you can add them to your cart and estimate shipping for your location in the cart. Keep in mind that you can add as many non-shoe items to your cart as you’d like without facing increased shipping charges over what is being charged for the shoes.
