The adidas Anthony Edwards 2 faced extraordinarily high expectations out of the gate, and while perhaps not as big a “moment” in the sneaker world as the Minnesota guard’s first signature, it’s fair to say the Three Stripes passed the assignment. Many on the sneaker internet had less than stellar things to say about the model when leaked images from an adidas earnings call surfaced, but with multiple styles already underway, many former haters have changed their tune.
Here we have an adidas AE2 “Lucid Orange” for NBA All-Star 2026. Ant is all but guaranteed to make the West squad as of this writing, averaging nearly 30 PPG on solid efficiency, including shooting 40% from the arc. The AE2 “Lucid Orange” aka “All-Star” introduces a new color combo to Ant’s signature portfolio, with the titular hue pairing with metallic silver on the outsole, toe, branded elements, and TPU frame. We’re getting some Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Total Orange” vibes, that shoe of course coinciding with WNBA All-Star weekend last year.
The adidas AE2 “Lucid Orange” aka “All-Star” releases February 12th, 2026 for $130 via adidas and select retailers, just ahead of NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles. See official images below and visit our Sneaker Release Dates page to browse more upcoming basketball shoes.
