The Adidas AE 1 "McDonald's All-American" Releases March 29

Adidas is set to celebrate one of high school basketball's most prestigious events with a special edition of Anthony Edwards' signature sneaker, the Adidas AE 1 “McDonald’s All-American.” This release honors the annual showcase highlighting the nation’s top high school talent. In this event, Edwards himself once shined as a former McDonald’s All-American and current NBA superstar. Scheduled for an exclusive release through Foot Locker before the end of March, this sneaker is a vibrant homage to the iconic all-star game.

The Adidas AE 1 “McDonald’s All-American” sports a visually striking mismatched color scheme that nods to the game’s logo, featuring one shoe in red and the other in blue. This bold aesthetic is grounded by a white Primeknit base, allowing the vibrant TPU wings and carbon fiber heel counter in each shoe's primary color to stand out. A translucent outsole unifies the design, while a yellow Adidas logo on the heel—mirroring the McDonald’s logo positioned directly above—serves as a direct tribute to the long-standing partnership between Adidas and the McDonald’s All-American Game.

Traditionally, Adidas has crafted exclusive colorways for game participants, brand friends, and family. However, releasing the AE 1 “McDonald’s All-American” to the general public marks a unique opportunity for fans and sneaker enthusiasts to own a piece of basketball history, further highlighting the success and popularity of Edwards' debut signature model.

Since its launch in December, the AE 1 has rapidly become one of the NBA's most talked-about sneakers, alongside the in-demand Harden Vol. 8, heralding a significant resurgence for Adidas Basketball.

The Adidas AE 1 “McDonald’s All-American” will be available exclusively at Foot Locker on March 29 for $120.
