adidas Basketball and Anthony Edwards unveil the Anthony Edwards 2

The second signature shoe from Anthony Edwards – built for explosive speed, fearless play, and self-belief without limits

adidas Basketball and Anthony Edwards proudly unveil the Anthony Edwards 2, the second signature shoe marking the next chapter in Anthony Edwards’ unstoppable rise.

An evolution of his debut signature model, the Anthony Edwards 2 reflects Edwards’ explosive game and unwavering confidence, engineered in close collaboration with Ant himself to deliver a shoe designed for hoopers who embody fearless self-belief on and off the court.

Just like I challenge myself every game, this shoe is built to help players outdo themselves every time they step on the court. I was part of every step of the process, from ideas to sketches, and it feels incredible to see it come to life.

The Anthony Edwards 2 builds on the foundation of Edwards’ first signature with new design breakthroughs engineered for explosive speed, dynamic movement, and all-day comfort:

• Propulsion Plate – Provides torsional support and energy return for quicker takeoffs and effortless elevation.
• Articulated Fangs – Delivers lockdown and containment, keeping players secure through every cut, drive, and first step.
• LIGHTBOOST + Lightstrike – Combines rim and core construction with adidas’ leading cushioning platforms, offering superior comfort, responsiveness, and long-lasting freshness on and off the court.

The shoe launches in the “With Love” colorway, honoring Edwards’ mother and grandmother with their favorite hues. A deeply personal tribute, the debut colorway underscores Ant’s authenticity and commitment to carrying family and community with him every time he steps on the court. The “With Love” release is just the beginning, as adidas and Edwards will introduce a full range of new colorways and exclusives over the course of the season, reflecting Ant’s journey, inspirations, and global impact.

“adidas basketball has a simple vision, be the next generation brand of basketball. No one represents that vision better for both the brand and the game than Ant himself. His unapologetic confidence, charisma, and success both on and off the court are all embodied in his latest signature offering and continue to make him the face of the next generation.” – Max Staiger, General Manager of Basketball, adidas

The unveiling follows Edwards’ first-ever China Tour, where he connected with fans across Shanghai, Chengdu and Beijing. The trip cemented Edwards’ growing international presence and set the stage for his second signature debut, further proof of Ant’s evolution from rising star to global icon.

The Anthony Edwards 2 “With Love” retails for $130 and will be available for purchase starting October 4th on adidas.com and at select adidas retail locations worldwide.

The Anthony Edwards 2 is designed to empower the next generation of hoopers, encouraging them to embrace Ant’s mantra: Believe That.
