Anthony Edwards is assembling his own Avengers squad. Later this year, adidas Basketball will join forces with Marvel’s Avengers for a two-part collaboration centered around the Minnesota Timberwolves star’s third signature shoe, the adidas AE3.

Timed to coincide with the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie, the collaboration will feature two character-inspired colorways: Doctor Doom and Ant-Man. Sneaker News can confirm that both pairs are scheduled to release in December 2026.

The Doctor Doom colorway, which surfaced earlier this year, is an obvious choice given the Marvel villain’s central role in the upcoming film. The sneaker features a metallic green upper with silver and gold accents, drawing inspiration from the character’s signature armored appearance. Doom’s portrait appears on the insoles.

The second colorway takes inspiration from Ant-Man, and its inclusion is more than just a coincidence. “Ant-Man” has long been Anthony Edwards’ nickname, while Scott Lang’s story after the events of Avengers: Endgame has played an integral part in how the MCU evolved in the post-Iron Man era. The sneaker features a combination of dark navy, silver, and red, borrowing from the character’s recognizable superhero suit.

While the two colorways represent opposing sides of the Marvel universe, they also give adidas an opportunity to connect Edwards’ larger-than-life personality with one of entertainment’s biggest franchises.

Both the Doctor Doom and Ant-Man adidas AE3 colorways are confirmed by Sneaker News to release in December 2026. Specific launch dates, pricing, and distribution details have yet to be revealed.
