Although the Three Stripes shared that the final Adidas Anthony Edwards 1 release would be its "Blue Flame" collaboration with Edison Chen's CLOT, netizens have taken to social media to beg for the brand to reconsider following Erica Wheeler's Overtime Select-backed Player-Exclusive (PE).
Teased online by Adidas Basketball's Global Brand Marketing Manager, Miles Jackson-Cartwright, the pair of hoops sneakers hit the hardwood in a close win against the Atlanta Dream. Wheeler's AE 1 boasts an iridescent purple makeover across the bulk of the lower-half, with panels around the tongue and collar opting for a clean white finish.
The WNBA guard's shoe seems to have been developed in partnership with the Overtime Select platform, a burgeoning sports league aimed at showcasing promising high school female basketball players. The purple hits on the Anthony Edwards 1 PE matches the logo of Overtime's new league.
It's unlikely the latest Player-Exclusive style releases via Adidas.com at some point, but the impending Anthony Edwards 2 may receive a similar purple makeover due to positive public reception.
