adidas Anthony Edwards 2 Surfaces in Georgia Red Clay
adidas is revisiting the Georgia Red Clay theme that defined an early Anthony Edwards 1 colorway, this time applied to the Anthony Edwards 2. The upcoming iteration features salmon-colored TPU accents and a saturated coral palette that mirrors the mineral composition of Georgia's iconic red soil.

The Anthony Edwards line has proven adept at mining Ant's Atlanta roots for design inspiration—from his college days at Georgia to the street art saturating the city's neighborhoods. The new Anthony Edwards 2 in Georgia Red Clay continues this regional storytelling, echoing a particularly resonant AE1 colorway released during Edwards' breakout 2024 campaign, when the young guard threw down a posterizing dunk on John Collins that still ranks among the most memorable plays of his early tenure.
Design-wise, the Edwards 2 iteration tightens the original concept. Salmon-toned TPU "fangs"—the shoe's distinctive side paneling—provide contrast against a more saturated pink base throughout the upper. The palette pulls directly from Georgia's famous red clay, a geological phenomenon born from iron oxide weathering over millennia. It's a subtle nod that rewards close inspection, the kind of regional specificity that elevates sneaker design beyond surface-level storytelling.
