Anthony Edwards unveils his new signature shoe the AE1 🐜 @Anthony Edwards #fyp #overtime #basketball #adidas #sneakers #fashion

The shoe itself is extremely beautiful and that peach colorway is a perfect homage to Ant Mans hometown Atlanta roots 🍑

A lot of people are saying this is the best signature shoe to drop in years, and frankly I agree with them. Anthony and adidas did an amazing job giving back to the community with a youth basketball camp and sick concert from Lil Baby (who performed in adidas AE 1s) and Anthony’s brother B Different 🎧

Of course Lil Baby absolutely burned it down and was looking every part the hometown hero, rapping to an audience of young kids who knew literally every word to every one of his songs, but B Different crushed it as well. Watching him Anthony and their family on stage together was extremely touching 🙏

When it was announced that August 5th would from this point forward be known as Anthony Edwards day in the city of Atlanta, the forever smooth and confident Edwards looked to the sky with a look of gratitude and humble disbelief, a truly beautiful moment within an unforgettable weekend. Shoutout adidas and Ant Man, best dunker in the league 🐜

Today In Rap

If there’s one rapper who’s mastered the art of building hype, it’s Travis Scott. He’s reportedly moving into the next phase of his relationship with Jordan and getting his very own silhouette. He’s teased variations at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and in his “K-Pop” music video.

Early rumors called the silhouette “Cut The Check,” but the shoe is still unnamed, according to Jordan Brand VP. Before its alleged release in the coming months, revisit some of Travis’ best Jordan sneakers in the Hype Index.
