adidas has announced the upcoming release of the AE 1 Low “Year of the Snake”, a special edition sneaker celebrating the Lunar New Year in 2025. This latest addition to Anthony Edwards’ signature line features a bold design that pays tribute to the dynamic energy of the Year of the Snake.
The AE 1 Low departs from traditional reptilian motifs, opting instead for a vibrant rainbow-colored honeycomb siding with a lustrous pearlescent finish. This eye-catching detail sets the sneaker apart and offers a fresh take on festive footwear. Subtle camo-like scales are woven into the black fabric upper and attached bootie, adding depth and texture to the overall aesthetic.
Adidas’ willingness to experiment with more adventurous designs is evident in this release. The colorful approach marks a departure from the typical two-tone styles and signals a new direction for the brand’s basketball footwear. Sneaker enthusiasts and basketball fans alike will appreciate the blend of innovative design and cultural celebration.
Set for a spring 2025 release, the AE 1 Low “Year of the Snake” (Style code: JS0646) is expected to hit stores in January or February. Priced at $120, the sneaker will be available at select Adidas Basketball retailers and online at adidas.com.
