Los Angeles is already humming with All-Star energy, and Anthony Edwards just added another layer to the noise. Revealed through Ant-man’s burner account @believethatjack on Instagram, the Timberwolves guard offered the clearest look yet at the Hellstar x adidas Anthony Edwards 2, a collaboration that leans hard into the gritty, desert-adjacent aesthetic the L.A. label has made its signature.
A sand-toned camouflage pattern wraps the engineered upper and continues into the liner, giving the silhouette a uniform, almost tactical feel. Each tongue tells a different story: Hellstar’s burning-face emblem appears on one shoe, while Edwards’ apex mark lands on the other, creating a deliberate balance between brand and athlete. Subtle neon green hits echo those logos, cutting through the muted palette without overpowering it.
From a construction standpoint, the familiar AE 2 shape remains intact—structured overlays, breathable zones, and a sculpted midsole—suggesting this is more about visual identity than performance overhaul. That restraint hints at a broader strategy from adidas Basketball: let collaborators reframe the look while keeping the court-ready foundation steady.
No official launch has been confirmed, but the timing aligns cleanly with NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, where limited activations typically surface.
The Hellstar x adidas Anthony Edwards 2 is expected around All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles. Stay tuned for updates.
