The Adidas AE 1 "Ascent Mid" Arrives July 20

Kanye West's creative footprint remains influential in the sneaker realm, with his pioneering "MX" motif making notable appearances across Adidas — and even Nike — lines. This signature pattern, synonymous with West's design ethos, is now spotlighted on Adidas with unveiling the AE1 "Ascent Mid," Anthony Edwards’ latest signature sneaker.

This latest colorway introduces a dynamic and visually captivating design to Edwards' growing sneaker line. The "Ascent Mid" showcases a complex blend of blacks and greys across its exterior shell. It draws inspiration from the muddy, multi-colored executions famously associated with Kanye West's Yeezy collections, despite the departure from West's direct involvement with Adidas.

The sneaker's base bootie retains a classic black, starkly contrasting the swirling, marbled patterns that envelop the shoe. This choice of design not only pays homage to West's creative contributions and pushes the boundaries of traditional sneaker aesthetics, offering a fresh perspective on the AE1 silhouette.

Slated for release on adidas.com on July 20, 2024, the "Ascent Mid" arrives amidst the offseason buzz, potentially seeing Edwards don the pair as part of Team USA's kit during the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Expect more details to emerge soon.
