The long-awaited AE2 colorway will arrive at the end of the Timberwolves’ regular season.
Anthony Edwards will make one last push to secure their spot in the Western Conference Playoffs on Sunday, and adidas Basketball is celebrating the Superstar’s final home game in style.
The “Glow Green” colorway is a long time coming. Previously released in Asia, the sneaker has been sought after by ballers and sneakerheads alike. In November, Anthony Edwards sported the Glow Green AE2s, swapping the laces to match the glowing green accents.
Now, that special colorway will finally launch at retailers. Edwards, who is averaging a respectable 29 points a game this season, will lead the Timberwolves in their final regular-season match-up on April 12th.
The Wolves, who as of this writing have a three-game cushion over the 7th seed Suns, will likely end the season comfortably in that sixth seed spot. Which would, of course, mean the team would advance directly into the playoffs and avoid the play-in game.
The AE2 line has built its success on its predecessor, the AE1, which disrupted the performance basketball market last season. The AE2 faced the challenge of competing with its predecessor, and it has succeeded with great colorways and another strong season from Edwards on the court.
This Glow Green colorway feels symbolic on many fronts. Not only will it be the last colorway to launch during the regular season, but it will propel Edwards and the Timberwolves into their fifth postseason appearance since he was drafted. The flashes of green feel representative of Edwards’ style of play on the court and the spark Edwards has brought to the league.
The “Glow Green” AE2 launches on Sunday, April 12th, via Foot Locker and participating adidas Basketball retailers.
