The adidas AE 1 is one of the more unique approaches to basketball shoes from any major sneaker brand that we've seen. At the end of 2023, we saw adidas partner up with NBA star, Anthony Edwards, and together they released his first ever signature shoe, the adidas AE 1. Since its debut back in December 2023, we've seen minimal colorways surface. Now following the release of the "Velocity Blue" colorway, this upcoming colorway is showcased in "Preloved Purple." Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months.
The adidas AE 1 “Preloved Purple” features a color palette including Core Black and Preloved Purple hues. We'll see the neoprene inner bootie, and a mix of mesh/rubber on the upper. The shoe features a classic two-toned design, the inner bootie, laces, and tongue will be found in Black. With the rest of the sneaker found in the Preloved Purple. The rear heel features a protruding carbon fiber piece with a colored adidas logo in a matching Purple. The JET BOOST midsole connects with the upper, and features a rubberized outsole with an arrow designed tread for the best grip on the court.
The adidas AE 1 “Preloved Purple” is expected to release sometime in 2024 via adidas.com and other select adidas retailers for a retail of $120. To stay informed on all things adidas Brand and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
