The adidas AE 3 "Bliss Blue" Releases September 2026

Anthony Edwards debuted the adidas AE 3 "Bliss Blue" during his "Believe That" Tour stop in Manila, giving fans an early look at one of the first colorways expected to hit shelves on his third signature shoe. The reveal drew immediate attention, and the colorway has since been confirmed for a wide release this fall.

The AE 3 upper is built primarily from mesh, with molded TPU overlays running along the sides for structure and support. Those overlays represent one of the more notable design shifts from the AE 2, giving the silhouette a sharper, more angular profile. Blue runs across the entire build in varying shades, with the mesh panels sitting in lighter tones and the molded pieces carrying a brighter, more saturated finish. Edwards' personal logo lands on the tongue, and adidas branding appears around the heel to round out the upper details. Underfoot, the AE 3 relies on Hyperboost cushioning paired with a midfoot plate for added court responsiveness. The outsole wraps up the build in a semi-translucent blue finish that ties the whole shoe together.

The adidas AE 3 "Bliss Blue" is set to release on September 15th, 2026 through adidas and adidas Basketball retailers for a retail price of $130. To stay informed on all things Adidas and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
