The Era of the Anthony Edwards 2 Begins Friday

Anthony Edwards and adidas are embarking on the next chapter of his blossoming signature line.

For all intents and purposes, Edwards’ debut signature sneaker was an absolute hit. It not only performed well on the court for the rising star, but it was also able to achieve something difficult in the sneaker space in 2025. That is, the AE1 was able to cross over into the casual wear space- something not many performance basketball sneakers get to enjoy in this day and age.

Adidas and Anthony Edwards are carrying that momentum into Edwards’ second signature sneaker with the debut of the ‘ With Love’ colorway.

Much like the AE1, the debut colorway of Edward’s second signature sneaker follows this love letter moniker. The AE2 doubles down on Edwards’ dynamic style of play—blending speed, explosiveness, and confidence into a sneaker designed to evolve with the game.

The ‘With Love’ colorway draws from Edwards’ personal story, honoring his mother and grandmother with their favorite hues. The debut colorway acts as a personal tribute that underscores his authenticity and commitment to carrying family and community with him every time he steps on the court. With a streamlined silhouette and bold design cues, the sneaker reflects Edwards’ evolution as both an athlete and a cultural figure.

From a technical standpoint, the AE2 combines LIGHTBOOST x Lightstrike techonilogy combining rim and core construction with adidas’ leading cushioning platforms, offering superior comfort, responsiveness, and long-lasting freshness on and off the court. The sneaker’s propulsion plate provides support and energy return for quicker takeoffs and effortless elevation , all the while articulated fangs make sure players are locked and loaded on every explosive cut, drive and step.

The Anthony Edwards 2 makes its debut in the ‘With Love’ colorway tomorrow via the adidas CONFIRMED app. The sneaker will also be avialble via participating adidas retailers like Foot Locker.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
