Bologna, April 10 –
As a proud adidas partner, Virtus Bologna celebrates the continued evolution of one of the brand’s most exciting signature lines. adidas and Anthony Edwards, All‑Star guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, have announced two major additions to the Anthony Edwards 2 lineup with the releases of the “Antlanta Day” and “Glow” basketball shoe colourways.
Building on the momentum of Edwards’ second signature silhouette—first introduced in September—the new drops showcase the athlete’s signature intensity, hometown pride, and on‑court explosiveness through bold design executions and next‑generation performance technology.
Designed to support Edwards’ dynamic playing style, the Anthony Edwards 2 evolves the foundation set by his first signature shoe with innovations engineered for explosive speed, dynamic movement, and all‑day comfort. Each new colorway features the full suite of performance benefits, including:
- Propulsion Plate for torsional support and energy return, enabling quicker takeoffs and effortless elevation.
- Articulated Fangs for superior lockdown and containment through every cut, drive, and first step.
- LIGHTBOOST + Lightstrike cushioning that combines rim and core construction for comfort, responsiveness, and long‑lasting freshness on and off the court.
A TRIBUTE TO ATLANTA: ANTHONY EDWARDS 2 “ANTLANTA DAY”
Released on April 4th in celebration of 404 Day, the “Antlanta Day” colorway pays homage to the city that raised Edwards. As distinctive as Atlanta itself, the design draws inspiration from the summer of ’96 with a green and black upper, elevated by gold accents and a gold sole. The result is a tribute rooted in heritage, energy, and Edwards’ unmistakable hometown pride.
A COLORWAY THAT SHINES BEYOND THE COURT: ANTHONY EDWARDS 2 “GLOW”
Next, adidas and Edwards introduce the global release of the “Glow” colorway, arriving April 12th. Featuring a sleek black upper contrasted by vivid neon green accents along the shoe’s signature lines, the design stands out both in motion and in low light. Its defining feature: glow‑in‑the‑dark detailing that illuminates when the lights go out, ensuring the shoe makes an impact around the clock.
The Anthony Edwards 2 “Antlanta Day” and “Glow” colorways are available online, via the adidas app and in select retail stores.
