Official Images Reveal the adidas Anthony Edwards 3

The next chapter of Anthony Edwards' signature line has officially arrived. adidas has unveiled the first official images of the Anthony Edwards 3, offering an early look at the All-Star's third signature basketball shoe ahead of its September launch. While the initial photos showcase grade school sizing, they reveal the design direction adidas is taking as the AE franchise continues to evolve.

The Anthony Edwards 3 maintains the low-cut profile that defined its predecessors but introduces a noticeably more aggressive aesthetic. A breathable mesh upper serves as the foundation, while a redesigned external support cage wraps around the sides with sharp, forward-sweeping lines. Replacing the honeycomb structure of the AE 1 and the fang-inspired overlays of the AE 2, the new design gives the silhouette a faster, more streamlined appearance while preserving the bold identity of the franchise.

Performance also takes a step forward. Adult versions of the AE 3 are expected to debut with adidas' new Hyperboost cushioning, marking the technology's first appearance in a performance basketball shoe. The official grade school pairs do not feature Hyperboost branding, suggesting kids' sizing will utilize a different cushioning setup.

The first official rollout introduces four distinct colorways. The 'Ice Blue' edition features frosted blue gradients layered over a clean neutral base, while another pair blends vibrant pink and purple tones throughout the upper. The 'With Love' colorway stands out with a molten-inspired graphic flowing beneath the synthetic cage, and a fourth grey edition incorporates smoky textures that create depth beneath the outer support structure.

Since its debut, the Anthony Edwards signature line has quickly become one of adidas Basketball's biggest success stories, combining bold design with high-level performance. The AE 3 continues that momentum with a fresh visual identity while remaining instantly recognizable as part of Edwards' growing signature collection.

With official images now available, anticipation continues to build for what could become one of the most anticipated basketball releases of the fall season. The adidas Anthony Edwards 3 releases on September 15, 2026, through adidas.com and select retailers.
