AE 1 'Stormtrooper'

The adidas AE 1 Best of adi Stormtrooper is part of Anthony Edwards’ signature partnership with adidas, blending performance innovation with bold visual storytelling.

This edition takes cues from the adidas Crazy 1 Stormtrooper, a silhouette famously linked to Kobe Bryant and inspired by the armored look of Imperial Stormtroopers from Star Wars. The AE 1 interprets that influence through an off-white TPU side panel that resembles protective body armor. Stretching from heel to toe, the molded panel features a honeycomb texture that adapts to the foot’s shape while forming a sharp, arrow-like design that enhances the shoe’s futuristic identity.

The remainder of the upper is constructed from lightweight textile that wraps securely around the ankle, paired with a reliable lace-up system for a locked-in fit. Performance and design merge seamlessly, resulting in a sneaker that feels both technical and statement-driven.

Released on March 1, 2024, the adidas AE 1 Best of adi Stormtrooper originally retailed for $120.
