Each week, Footwear News will update this list to keep you abreast of all the best upcoming sneaker releases from Adidas.
The brand is already sneakerheads reasons to look forward to February and March, as it continues to release new colorways for the hit AE 1, Anthony Edwards’ first signature model, and prepares for the debut of James Harden’s newest sneaker. There’s also the small matter of the NBA All-Star Game midway through the month, which will bring both retros and dedicated colorways for Adidas‘ flagship athletes playing in the game.
Take a look at all the best Adidas releases on the way below, which have been arranged in descending order.
Adidas AE 1 “Velocity Blue”
Release Date: March 8
Price: $120
Adidas will look to continue its sellout streak for Anthony Edwards’ first signature shoe in its third (below) and fourth colorways. This colorway deviates from the two-tone look of its predecessors, as Edwards’ favorite color consumes the sneaker.

Adidas AE 1 “Best of Adi”
Release Date: March 1
Price: $120
Sneakerheads have been calling this upcoming AE 1 colorway, “Stormtrooper,” while Adidas has officially christened it, “Best of Adi,” because of the brand’s historical use of black and white. Whatever you want to call it, it should be yet another hit for Anthony Edwards and Adidas.
Adidas Harden Vol. 8 “Sculpted”

Adidas AE 1 “Arctic Fusion”
Release Date: Jan. 25
