The "Ascent" colorway AE1 sneaker is designed with elegance and performance in mind, with a black mesh upper and beautiful marbled TPU side panels for ventilation. The tongue has a sewn tag, and the molded back heel is highlighted by the Adidas Three Stripe logo.

A TPU-encased Jet Boost midsole delivers top-tier performance and stability, while a full-length torsional plate and a durable herringbone-traction rubber outsole provide better court grip.

The Adidas AE1 has created a buzz since its debut earlier this season, perfectly aligning with Anthony Edwards' high-flying dunks and flashy play. Now, the "Ascent" colorway adds another exciting chapter to the story.
