A Weekend In Atlanta With Anthony Edwards And adidas Basketball

2023-09-25

Alongside the official unveiling of his first signature shoe, Anthony Edwards was welcomed back to his hometown of Oakland City, Georgia this weekend in Southern style. From the appearance of a custom Lamborghini to the adidas AE1, the 3-Stripes honored the Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star with a days-worth of commemorations to his deep-rooted ties to Atlanta.

The day started off at the Tracey Wyatt Recreation Center where Edward’s held his third annual AE5 basketball camp. Fostering encouragement and skill development within the next generation, Ant-Man trained with the youth in the same gym he grew up in. Boasting a magnetic charisma and a commitment to giving back to the community that instilled so much in him, Edwards then rewarded the camp’s attendees with the first official look at his signature silhouette, the adidas AE1.

Pulled out from a cream leather duffel bag, Edwards held the bright peach colorway in his hands as the group of kids gravitated toward the BOOST-cushioned silhouette to get a closer look. Encapsulated by a ventilated geometric TPU upper, the sample pair’s aerodynamic aesthetic was an instant hit as voices pipped up asking if they could fit into the size 9 that he held.
