Following closely on the heels of James Harden’s recent sneaker debut with Willy Chavarria, Anthony Edwards introduced his own collaboration, teaming up with Hellstar. Edwards debuted the Hellstar x Adidas Anthony Edwards 2 during Monday night’s Minnesota Timberwolves game against the Atlanta Hawks, marking his first publicly available sneaker partnership.
Design Details Highlight Hellstar’s Signature Style
The sneaker features a desert camouflage mesh upper accented with silver and white horn-shaped overlays. Hellstar’s name is displayed below the lateral collar in a bright highlighter green that complements the matching laces and branding. The right tongue and heel showcase Hellstar’s distinctive flame logo, while a translucent rubber outsole includes the brand name printed underneath, adding a unique finishing touch.
Background of Hellstar and Its Partnership with Adidas
Founded five years ago in Los Angeles, where the upcoming NBA All-Star festivities will take place, Hellstar is recognized for its graphic-intensive designs inspired by punk and heavy metal culture. Adidas is Hellstar’s first official sneaker collaborator, revealed last year with an unreleased Superstar model. Their partnership also produced Superstar cleats ahead of the Super Bowl, establishing a growing relationship between the two.
What’s Next for Edwards and the Sneaker Release
While release information for the Hellstar x Adidas Anthony Edwards 2 has yet to be announced, it is expected to launch soon, coinciding with the NBA All-Star Weekend. Edwards had previously joined forces with Clot for a signature sneaker exclusive to friends and family, making this collaboration his first for the general market. Footwear News will continue to monitor and report updates on this eagerly anticipated release.
