Anthony Edwards Signs Signature Shoe Deal with Adidas

Adidas AE 1 Sneaker to Debut in "With Love" Colorway

$120 Sneakers to Launch on Adidas Website Thursday, April 4th

Anthony Edwards, the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, has signed a shoe endorsement deal with Adidas, sources tell The Athletic. The deal makes Edwards the latest young star to sign with the sportswear giant, joining the likes of Trae Young, Donovan Mitchell, and Zion Williamson.

As part of the deal, Edwards will have his own signature shoe, the Adidas AE 1. The sneaker will make its retail debut this weekend in a Georgia peach-flavored "With Love" colorway. The shoes will be available in adult sizes for $120 on Thursday, April 4th via the Adidas website.

Edwards is one of the most exciting young players in the NBA. He averaged 19.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game as a rookie for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was also named to the All-Rookie First Team.

Adidas is hoping that Edwards can help them regain their footing in the basketball market. The company has lost market share to Nike in recent years, but they are hoping that Edwards can help them turn things around.
