As we start to close the book on 2024, the inaugural Anthony Edwards shoes are eliciting heavy discussion in year-end lists, but the Three Stripes is already moving on to 2025. They’re beginning to gear up for one of the first significant footwear Holidays on the docket, the annual celebration centered around the Chinese New Year and Zodiac calendar. After relying on the Harden and Donovan Mitchell lines for the “Dragon,” Ant enters the conversation with the adidas Anthony Edwards 1 Low “Year Of The Snake.”

Bucking what most might expect, the honeycomb siding of the Anthony Edwards 1 is free of any reptilian textiles, instead opting for a dousing of rainbow tonality (reminiscent of the 3SSB PE), further developed with a glossy, pearlescent finish. That leaves the fabric upper and attached bootie to execute the “Year Of The Snake” theme in earnest; camo-like scales are subtly infused onto those otherwise all-black sections. On top of presenting an arresting overall profile, this more experimental look elucidates Hamburg’s increasing willingness to depart from the two-tone home base for the model, an encouraging sign if you haven’t already gotten in on one of the defining models of 2024.

The adidas Anthony Edwards 1 Low “Year Of The Snake” will materialize for Spring 2025, likely landing in January/February. Retail is set at $120.
