The adidas AE 1 Best of adi Stormtrooper is part of NBA player Anthony Edwards’ signature collaboration with adidas. This sneaker draws inspiration from Kobe Bryant’s adidas Crazy 1 Stormtrooper, incorporating elements from Star Wars’ iconic Imperial soldiers. The AE 1 Best of adi Stormtrooper features an off-white TPU panel resembling Stormtrooper body armor. The white panels cover the area from heel to toe on the sides and boast a honeycomb pattern that conforms to the shape of the foot, forming an arrow-like pattern that enhances the sneaker's futuristic appeal. The upper is made of lightweight textile that wraps around the ankle and features an ultra-secure front lace closure. The name ‘Best of adi’ pays tribute to adidas’ impact on sports history and performance. The adidas AE 1 Best of adi Stormtrooper was released on March 1st, 2024, and retailed at $120.
