Fans react to Anthony Edwards' Adidas AE 2 first look

Adidas released the first look of the second installment of Anthony Edwards' signature shoe. Last week, @KicksFinder posted a leaked image of the Adidas AE 2, which was taken during an earnings call by Adidas.

Since the success of AE1, the fans have been eagerly waiting for the next installment, and unfortunately, the reviews weren't all positive on the internet. Hundreds of sneaker fans reacted to the post, and some didn't seem very impressed.

"They look like a bad pair of Hardens," the fan wrote.

"adidas fumbled so hard, AE1 to the AE1 Low then these bullsh**s??? aight," another fan wrote.

One of the fans claimed that after AE 1, AE 2 was a step backward for the company.

"Damn….major step backwards," the fan wrote.

However, not all reviews were bad. Some fans even claimed that it was better than AE 1.

"These look better than the 1s imo the ones was overrated," the fan wrote.

"Ppl talking crazy bout these, but as soon as these drop they gon be all over them. These is not bad at all," another fan wrote.

A fan took a shot at Anthony Edwards, alluding to his ongoing paternity suit.

Meanwhile, one fan wanted to hold his review and wanted to see it in feet and in different colors.

"Need to see on feet and a different colorway," the fan wrote.

According to Sneaker News, the Adidas AE 2 is scheduled for release in October later this year.
