Following up on a major hit is always a struggle; no matter what industry you’re referring to, just ask Anthony Edwards and adidas. The duo hoped to find the same success they had with Ant’s first signature model, the adidas AE 1, though the sneaker community's response has been subar to say the least. Following a few different releases to kick off the sneaker, adidas is dipping the model in bright orange for NBA All-Star Weekend.
The mid-top silhouette is coated primarily in an orange color scheme, with metallic silver pops throughout the design. Starting down at the toe, we see a white toecap similar to the design of the AE 1 surrounded by two TPU louvres, which provide stability and breathability. These louvres are rendered in orange to match the mesh paneling across the upper, but they are surrounded by a more rigid TPU in metallic silver.
