American basketball player Anthony Edwards and Adidas have come together for their first-ever shoe collaboration, Adidas AE1. His inaugural shoe design pays homage to his personal history and upbringing, giving birth to the Adidas AE1 ‘Georgia Red Clay’.
The vibrant colour of the shoe mirrors the iconic red soil found in Georgia, a unique shade caused by the presence of iron oxides resulting from long-term weather patterns. Similar to previous Adidas AE1 releases, this colourway also features a minimalist design with contrasting tones on the shoe’s cage and mesh upper. Contrastingly, the sneaker’s tongue and heel branding comes in a black hue.

Puma MB.03 ‘Spark’
Puma and LaMelo Ball are set to introduce their third signature sneaker, MB.03 Spark. The brand-new sneaker is a bright-hued sneaker that comes in a vibrant greenish-yellow upper with patterns of pale orange, resulting in a visually pleasing aesthetic.
The lines on the sneaker’s upper unveil a purple mesh underneath and the tongue features camouflage-coloured logos, complementing the overall aesthetic. Additionally, the green foam midsole comes with Puma’s famous Nitro Foam cushioning for optimal comfort and the design is completed with a purple outsole, enhancing the sneaker’s visual appeal.

Nike Dunk Low ‘Veneer’
Initially released in 2001 as a component of the Ugly Duckling Pack collection, the Nike Dunk Low is set to be re-released in 2024 Spring. Featuring high-quality suede upper in various shades of brown, green and purple, this revival will undoubtedly evoke nostalgia for those who missed the 2001 release, especially the Y2K style lovers. The detailing includes a mesh tongue, embroidered Nike branding on the heel and a white and purple sole, amplifying this iconic sneaker.
For the uninitiated, the Veneer colourway belongs to the sneaker collection which was released as a CO.JP exclusive and considered one of the best sportswear Dunk trios of all time.

To further pay homage to the game, the topmost eyelet of the shoes is designed in the shape of a hexagon, reminding fans of the grids used in gameplay. Additionally, subtle elements inspired by character sheets can be found behind the tongue. After the release of the footwear collection, Converse will also be releasing the Chuck 70 collection, apparel and Converse By You customisations.
