The anticipation among basketball enthusiasts has been mounting ever since the launch of the adidas AE1 in late 2023. People have been eagerly waiting to see what Anthony Edwards and the German sportswear brand have in store for them next. While many of the initial colorway concepts have been linked to his hometown in Atlanta, Georgia, or to his Minnesota Timberwolves, we are finally getting a design that pays homage to the history of the hoops division over at adidas.
Although it is not an official designation, the all-white molded exterior and black interior of the latest design reminds us of the iconic "Stormtrooper" colorway that originated with the legendary Superstar. This Star Wars-inspired moniker was later applied to modern styles such as the adidas Crazy 1 and Crazy IIIFINITY, so it is only fitting that it is applied here. The only difference is that there is a touch of green on the adidas Performance logo at the heel, as well as Anthony Edwards's personal logo on the tongue.
Regardless of its "Stormtrooper" connection, this adidas AE1 is sure to pique the interest of the growing community of Ant-Man fans. The shoe's sleek design and striking colorway make it a must-have for anyone who wants to stand out on the court.
While a release date for the new design is currently unknown, the full range of Anthony Edwards shoes is set to drop in the spring and summer of 2024, with an MSRP of $120. Whether you are a die-hard basketball fan or simply someone who appreciates stylish and comfortable footwear, the adidas AE1 is an excellent choice that is sure to impress. So keep your eyes peeled and get ready to add this shoe to your collection!
