The most electrifying signature line in basketball is ready for its sophomore encore. Following the massive cultural impact of the AE 1, adidas Basketball has officially provided a first look at the Anthony Edwards 2 in “Lucid Blue,” slated for a May 2026 release. As Edwards continues to cement his status as the face of the league, his second silhouette leans even harder into the futuristic, high-performance aesthetic that redefined the “Ant-Man” brand.
The “Lucid Blue” colorway is a masterclass in monochromatic cooling. The sneaker features a monochromatic deep, electric blue hue that saturates the entire silhouette, from the breathable knit upper to the aggressive, generative-design TPU sidewalls. While the AE 1 was famous for its honeycomb structure, the AE 2 introduces a refined, more fluid cage system designed to handle Edwards’ explosive lateral movements while shedding weight. The sleek, low-profile collar and integrated bootie system return, offering that signature 1-to-1 fit that players and sneakerheads alike have praised.
Technically, the AE 2 is said to feature an upgraded cushioning stack, likely evolving the Lightboost and Lightstrike combination for maximum energy return. The “Lucid Blue” is an aesthetic representation of Edwards’ “cold-blooded” mentality on the court. With a launch window set right in the heat of the 2026 NBA Playoffs, adidas is clearly positioning the AE 2 to be the defining sneaker of the postseason.
