Anthony Edwards’ first China tour has only bolstered his reputation as one of the most likable dudes in the NBA. We’ve been enjoying a barrage of top-tier Ant content since the Timberwolves star touched down abroad, including link-ups with Yao Ming, vids of Ant on the Great Wall, and of course, a friendly “Ni hao what’s hannin?” when he first arrived. At the center of it all lies the adidas Anthony Edwards 2; one of the most heavily-anticipated sophomore signature basketball sneakers ever.
Following a slew of leaked images, including a quasi-official look that came from an adidas earning call, the Three Stripes earnestly unveiled the next Anthony Edwards shoes on Edwards’ “Believe That” China tour. With the AE2 floodgates now all the way open, we’re circling back with a mini-preview consisting of three key rollout colorways.
We begin with the colorway Ant and adidas chose to debut the sneaker in; the Anthony Edwards 2 “With Love.” Aligning well with the orange backdrop adidas uses for Anthony Edwards commercials, the sneaker pairs “Lucid Pink” mesh with bright orange hits on the cage/outsole.
Next up is a “Blue Fusion” look that breaks from the color blocking we’ve come to expect from Ant’s signature adidas line. A “Blue Fusion” mesh quarter is framed by a grey TPU cage, complemented by lime green placements on the toe and forefoot underlays. Rounding out this initial trio is a striking black and green look, complete with a black quarter and green hits on the cage/outsole. All three colorways play off the same general foundation, that being all-black fabric on the tongue, collar, and lining.
The adidas Anthony Edwards 2 debuts October 4th in the “With Love” colorway, followed by the “Blue Fusion” on October 25th. The black and lime green colorway doesn’t have a confirmed release date as of this writing. See detailed images of all three looks below and keep our Sneaker Release Dates page handy as we continue tracking upcoming colorways.
