Adidas AE3 Cold Blooded Opens Anthony Edwards' Third Signature Line

adidas officially unveils the AE3, Anthony Edwards' third signature shoe, launching with an opening colorway called "Cold Blooded." After two previous signature lines helped establish Edwards among the basketball athletes adidas invests in most heavily, the AE3 marks the line's most significant technological shift to date, opening a new chapter for the signature series.

Unlike its two predecessors, the AE3 is the first Anthony Edwards signature shoe to use Hyperboost cushioning, which adidas positions as offering greater comfort and energy return than the traditional foam used in the earlier two lines. The silhouette is also cut lower than previous versions, giving the shoe more agility for the fast-paced style of play Edwards has built his career around.

The "Cold Blooded" colorway leans on cool tones as its base, referencing Edwards' well-known on-court nickname for a decisive, high-contrast look throughout the shoe. It serves as the signature colorway opening the AE3 line, typically the version a brand chooses to introduce new technology before expanding into additional colorways through the season.

Another notable point is the AE3's price, which sits below the going rate for many basketball signature shoes currently hovering at $150 or higher. This suggests adidas is pursuing a broader approach to reach younger buyers rather than focusing solely on the premium segment the way some competitors do. The adidas AE3 "Cold Blooded" releases on September 15, 2026 for $130.
