A First Look At the Adidas AE 2
Your favorite player has a new favorite shoe, as early leaks of the Adidas AE 2 have surfaced. Inking a multi-million dollar deal with the Three Stripes in 2024, reportedly worth eight figures annually, Edwards’ revolutionary signature line has heavily supplemented the brand’s surge. Beloved by hoopers worldwide and coined Complex’s Sneaker of the Year 2024, the AE collection merges the excellence and style of “Ant-Man,” birthing a movement reminiscent of his flourishing greatness.
760kix on Instagram previewed on-hand a predominantly white silhouette, showcasing a similar mid-top structure to its inaugural model—drawing comparisons to early 00’s Tracy McGrady models and the Jordan 14. The AE 2 introduces a slimline sole traction pattern tending to responsiveness and agility, as stability clips extend from the forefoot to the upper eyestay for support. According to House of Heat, “the heel counter echoes this forked motif, creating a cohesive and striking visual theme.”
In terms of materials, the pair converges “lightweight patterned mesh and glossy synthetic panelling.” Nylon textiles populate the upper, transitioning to a neoprene bootie underneath, drawing similarities from the brand’s iconic Yeezy models that blend performance with street aesthetics.
Sole Retriever shares that the Adidas AE 2 arrives in October 2025, with an estimated retail price of around ₱7,395.00 ($130).
