These adidas shoes showcase a distinct and sleek mid-cut silhouette with a cool honeycomb-like ventilated panel on the upper, which gives it breathability.

The debut colorway, named “With Love,” features vibrant “Acid Orange” and “Acid Pink” hues that pay homage to Edwards’ mother and grandmother’s favorite colors. This adidas shoe reflects Edwards’ unique character both on and off the court. At first glance, these shoes are out of this world. Designed by Patrick Zempolich, they have a futuristic aesthetic and feature a geometric pattern.

In addition to the “With Love” colorway, Edwards has also been seen wearing the “New Wave” colorway during NBA games.

Unique Construction 

Unlike other basketball shoes with split constructions, the AE1 integrates the upper and sole unit for a unified look.

These adidas basketball shoes also incorporate a Jet Boost cushioning system, which enhances energy return and responsiveness. The cushioning is housed within a TPU casing, and the shoe still aims to have great flexibility.

Its Lightstrike innovation in the midsole enhances energy return and comfort, making it suitable for both on-court performance and casual wear.

The signature logo is a reflection of Edwards’ energy and playing style. It depicts his “AE” initials with five ridges and angular blades that symbolize his jersey number and the dynamics in the game. 

AE1 Options

Whether you’re an adult sneakerhead or a young basketball fan, the adidas AE1 is available in full-family sizing. Basketball players and non-basketball players of all ages can don Edwards’ signature style with AE1 versions in women’s adidas shoes and men’s adidas shoes.

These adidas shoes are not just for basketball. They are versatile enough as a lifestyle sneaker and a stylish add-on to any wardrobe. And since these sneakers combine performance and style, many are coveting future releases, variations, and colorways to come.
