Anthony Edwards Debuts adidas AE 2 "Thunder & Lightning"

Anthony Edwards continues to make his presence felt on and off the court, this time debuting the adidas AE 2 in a striking “Thunder & Lightning” colorway. Spotted during warmups, the new look signals the next chapter in Edwards’ signature line with adidas, building on the momentum that made the AE 1 one of the most talked-about basketball shoes in recent memory.

The adidas AE 2 “Thunder & Lightning” leans into contrast and energy. A black-based upper sets the foundation, while sharp yellow accents cut through the silhouette, creating a visual jolt that lives up to the name. The color blocking feels intentional and aggressive, mirroring Edwards’ explosive playing style and his reputation as one of the league’s most fearless scorers. It’s a look that pops under arena lights without drifting into gimmick territory.

An official release date for the adidas AE 2 “Thunder & Lightning” has not yet been confirmed, but an on-court debut usually signals that more details aren’t far off. Expect adidas to roll out additional information as the season progresses and the AE 2 rotation expands.
