Check Out a First Look at the adidas AE 3

There’s been a lot of talk about LeBron and Giannis this offseason thanks to their new teams, but in Minnesota, Anthony Edwards is also ready for a new-look squad next season, with noted interior decorator LaMelo Ball fresh off a U-Haul from Charlotte. To kick off a fresh season with a fresh running mate, Edwards is getting ready to drop his latest adidas signature model, the AE 3.

Ant is Back for Thirds

After getting word about the aesthetic details of the adidas AE 3 late last year, followed by a selection of leaked mock-ups and images, we’ve got our hands on complete image sets for four pairs of grade school colorways. The adult pairs will come slightly different, with Boost cushioning for extra support and better materials, but the general look will remain the same.

Starting with two never-before-seen pairs, the new previews show off details of the Snow Camo and With Love colorways, as well as two pairs we’ve seen before in Bliss Blue and Lucid Pink. On all four pairs, the mesh upper is accented by arrows rising up from the midsole pointing towards the two on both side panels. A heel bumper adds more stabilization, and the same AE logo from Ant’s past signature pairs pops on the tongue.

adidas AE 3 Release Details

The adidas AE 3 will be released in various colorways throughout the latter half of 2026 and throughout 2027. Expect retail to be $130 for adult sizes, while the GS and PS prices are set at $100 and $90, respectively.
