Anthony Edwards’ electrifying Playoff run, though ultimately cut short, cemented his repute as the upcoming face of the league. His dazzling displays of athleticism were bolstered by a key piece of equipment: his signature adidas AE 1.

Launched in December last year, the AE 1 quickly carved a niche as a top performer, propelling its popularity and securing a loyal following. This success has led to a revised release schedule for its successor.

Originally slated for December 2024, the AE 2’s debut has been pushed back to early 2025 to capitalize on the momentum of the AE 1 and its upcoming low-top releases.

A recent leak has offered a tantalizing glimpse of what’s to come with the AE 2. This early iteration showcases a mid-cut silhouette that prioritizes both cutting-edge design and functionality.

The shoe boasts a dynamic aesthetic with a prominent TPU panel on the midfoot. Like its predecessor, this element features perforations with a unique design, bordering on the industrial with a resemblance to a grater or AC duct. Rubber from the outsole wraps around the sidewalls, heel, and toe. Anthony Edwards’ logo adorns the tongue tag. All of which sit atop a Boost cushioning system.

The adidas AE 2 is expected to debut in 2025 through adidas and select retailers, in men’s sizing, priced at US$130. A variety of colorways are anticipated, including the previously revealed “Impact Orange” version.
