Anthony Edwards and adidas are Celebrating Lunar New Year with Year of the Horse AE 2

In the Chinese lunar calendar, 2025 was the Year of the Snake. As usual, sneaker brands took the Chinese New Year imagery and ran with it, especially in Beaverton, where the snake motif was an easy add to Kobe’s Mamba gear. The Three Stripes also got in on the serpent energy with a Year of the Snake colorway of Anthony Edwards’ AE 1, and with the Year of the Horse celebration starting in February, adidas is already prepping a Lunar New Year AE 2.

So far, we’ve only seen a few quick previews of the adidas AE 2 Year of the Horse, but with an upper in sleek silver, plush tan, and baby blue, it is already looking like one of the most off-court-friendly AE 2 colorways we’ve seen yet. Starting with silver on the toe that evolves to creamy tan as it moves up the lace panels, the silver continues across the mesh side panels and TPU vents. The internal bootie is light blue with a red AE logo on the tongue, and a gold horse head logo on the heel to represent the Chinese New Year holiday.
