The debut signature shoe for Anthony Edwards from adidas has had an impressive run, but it comes to a close in October with the launch of the AE2. This week, we have an official look at a new “Reverse Stormtrooper” style, coming later this year.

The AE1 from adidas is easily one of the best basketball shoes of the decade. The silhouette’s incredibly unique look made them stylish both on and off the court, and the simple, but loud color blocking used for many pairs made them hard to miss. With the AE2 recently, officially, unveiled, the Three Stripes is priming us for the next year of their remarkable storytelling with Ant, kicking things off with an homage to his home state of Georgia.

One of the most popular colors of the AE1 released back in March ’24, the black & white “Stormtrooper” look. For the second model, they are flipping this colorway to a black-based color palette for a reverse edition, though that will likely not be the official name. The pair features a blacked out upper for the new silhouette, applying a “Zero Metallic” shade of white for the forefoot and heel TPU overlays. Striking Lucid Red branding on the tongues and heels completes the look.
