adidas x Anthony Edwards AE 2 - Core Black

The padded collar makes these feel secure right out of the box, and the synthetic upper is surprisingly breathable for a black shoe. I've worn them for a few pickup games already, and the grip on the toe sides gives me real confidence cutting.

The anti-slip fangs on the toe sides really bite into the floor when I'm cutting hard, and the padded tongue keeps the laces from digging in. These feel locked-in but not stiff, exactly what I wanted for quick moves.

The padded collar and tongue make these feel almost broken-in right out of the box, and that anti-slip fang detail gives real traction when I'm cutting. I’ve worn them for two practice sessions and they’re snug without being tight.
