The latest adidas and Anthony Edwards collaboration takes inspiration from Minnesota’s cultural heritage. Introducing the “Light Purple” colorway for the AE 1, this release honors legendary musician Prince. Known for his love of purple, Prince’s influence on music and fashion shines in this design.

The adidas AE 1 “Light Purple” features a sparkly pinkish-purple TPU Generative Support Wing. This vibrant element adds stability while paying homage to Prince’s iconic style. It wraps around the shoe, enhancing both looks and functionality. Additionally, the translucent outsole comes with a herringbone pattern, ensuring excellent traction during gameplay. A reflective purple toe box adds extra flair, catching light just like Prince’s stage presence.

Comfort and performance are central to this design. The black inner bootie delivers a snug and secure fit, promoting natural movement. This combination makes the AE 1 both visually striking and ideal for high-level play.
