Anthony Edwards: the A.E. line adidas

The player behind the line

Anthony Edwards is the star guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, known for his explosiveness and attacking style. Signed by adidas as soon as he entered the NBA, he has his own line named A.E., and his motto "Believe That" appears on several models.

The line reflects him: a strong look, designed for an athlete who attacks, jumps and finishes through contact.

What the shoe does on the court

The A.E. models on this page are built to withstand repeated jumps without losing agility. The A.E. 2 combines a soft, bouncy Boost foam with firmer Lightstrike that keeps the foot stable.

• A mid-top cut that wraps the ankle without restricting it.
• A textile and synthetic upper that securely grips the foot during direction changes.
• A rubber outsole designed for the court, featuring a pattern that grips in all directions.

What type of player is it for?

The A.E. line is aimed at the athletic guard or forward, the player who plays with their legs. Its cushioning protects during landings after a dunk or block, and its support provides confidence during off-balance finishes.

A very light guard looking for a low, ultra-responsive shoe might consider other lines. A heavier big man will appreciate the support but might want an even thicker heel.

Bulldawgs, Alphadawg, USA: colourways with stories

Several colourways tell the story of the player. The Bulldawgs versions recall his year at the University of Georgia, whose mascot is a bulldog, and the USA colourway refers to his games with the American national team. Others play with pure colour, like Blue Fusion or Black Lime Burst. The first models of the line, in low or mid-top versions, are also featured on the page.

The same pair in kids' size

Some models are available in kids' sizes, with the same colourways as the adults. It's the perfect pair for a young fan who wants to play like their player. Leave just a finger's space at the end of the shoe to keep the foot secure.

Frequently asked questions

Do Anthony Edwards shoes fit true to size?

Yes, most players stick to their usual size. The upper fits snugly on the foot: a wider foot will be more comfortable with a half size up, especially at the end of the game. Compare the length in centimetres with the size guide on the sheet.

Can you play outside with an A.E.?

It is designed for the court. On concrete, the rubber wears out faster and loses its grip. Keep it for the gym if you want it to last longer.

Is the A.E. line suitable for a beginner?

Yes, its support and cushioning are good for all levels. A beginner won't make full use of its technology but will benefit from a well-secured foot. For a tight budget, an older colourway is a good entry point.

What does "Believe That" mean on some models?

It's Anthony Edwards' signature expression, which has become part of his communication with adidas. The models featuring it are part of the same line and share the same construction.

How do you keep light colourways clean?

Brush gently and wipe with a damp cloth after each session, without using a washing machine. For translucent soles, regular cleaning helps prevent them from yellowing due to court dust.
