- The adidas AE 1 has become the most talked about and sought after signature basketball sneaker. With a buzz that we haven't seen in such a long time for a performance basketball sneaker, can we see these worn casually as well?

I published a story about adidas Basketball a few weeks ago. The heat up really began last year.
I feel like the design-engineers avoided stuff that looks too derivative by simply approaching each new signature model with the athlete in mind while utilizing the variety of ‘90s and ‘00s EQT as “ground zero”.
It’s so smart because the end of EQT was pretty much the point that adidas Bball lost its way. Going back to “the lab” in this way is paying dividends.
The off-court wearability was proven with the former YZY range. They regularly mined EQT, and it worked. So it’s good to see adidas take that lesson - The Archives Are King - and build upon it. The energy is undeniable.
Nothing is priced over $160 unless it’s adidas Bball lifestyle. Outstanding.

I copped the first 4 cws. Ive never done that and ive been copping kicks since the 90s. Not even with jordans.
I agree! I came out of sneaker retirement for these. Thats saying a lot. I feel like Nike's basketball shoe designers are getting their @ss kicked right now. Lebron should be screaming at his team right now.
I understand so as i put them on foot I said these are special and I may need another pair....the one love color is on my list
I agree. I bought two pairs or each colour way so far. Absolute 🔥
Those puppies are so fabulous, and they look great on Antman, too...😅
Love the review, thank you!
Thanks for watching!!
- I managed to limit myself to just the first and ASG colorways, but it's been tempting to get them all.
- The shoe designers confirmed to WearTesters that the midsole is full length jetboost. There is no lightstrike. The Harden 8 is also full length jetboost. (But the 7 wasn't.)
- Size is TTS, even for wide footers (although maybe not 4E). They run a little long.
- The laces issue is a weird one. The original pair came with extra laces, and some people say the blue pairs came with them as well, but others say they didn't. I'd love to be able to get the neon green ones for these. The nice box and extra laces were one of the big draws of the model to me. Which other brand gives you this kind of package for $120? I don't think there is one outside of China.
Has anyone broken a pair of these in? Does the material on the upper break in any. I love the shoe. It has plenty of cushion. But the upper towards the toe box is quite snug. Almost feels like biker jacket material. Its no give. Similar to kevlar. Other than that the shoe is perfect. Almost wish they would have went with a neoprene or something. Just my observation after a few try ons of the shoe.
@@mario-ck3es the creasing on the top won't change
My favorite basketball sneakers are made by Brandblack... both the Pro Am and the Rare Metal 2 are top of the list right now. Not discounting any others...
I ordered this sneaker to support Ant-Man and hes living up to the hype his game is on point.
I have it****❤ COLORWAYS TO COME WILL BE OUTRAGEOUS
Decided to pay 220…ICONIC ANYWHERE I BELIEVE
They should have provided the lime laces, period. But, I bought these too, and they did not. Either way, I do appreciate these shoes and agree that they will go down as a classic. We'll see how they follow these, whenever the AE2 comes.
Book 1 is also great on court and for casual use.
foot doctor zack is good for the cutting open does it with all his shoes reviews
I copped today on a FTL restock. Im sad that the lime laces are not provided. I wonder where I can get them.
amazon
I just picked up the storm trooper
You have to wear these with chinos..etc,no med wash jeans 👖
Adidas basketball shoes today have more substance while Nike is only generic.
I still need harden 7's and 8's
They don't look to dope with dad jeans on tho
You can get the laces on slickies laces.
Thanks!
harden 8 better but addidas doing it right
Ill personally never get over how hideous these are... i hope the second shoes are nicer to look at.
