The adidas Anthony Edwards 2 “Georgia Red Clay” is a coral-soaked colorway of Anthony Edwards’ second signature shoe, washing the entire silhouette in the rust-pink tone of his home state’s famous soil. It is set to release in June 2026.
Edwards keeps mining his Georgia roots for his adidas line, and the “Georgia Red Clay” is one of the more personal pulls. The color story nods to the iron-rich red dirt that blankets much of the state, the same earthy tone that gives Georgia clay its identity. It is also a callback: the original Anthony Edwards AE1 wore a near-identical “Georgia Red Clay” finish back in 2024, the pair Ant had on for his viral poster dunk over John Collins. That highlight remains one of the loudest moments of his young career, and the AE2 revives the look with a slightly more saturated pink across the build.
The “Georgia Red Clay” Design
The upper runs a tonal coral mesh from toe to heel, broken up only by the salmon-colored TPU “fangs” that wrap the midfoot and forefoot for lockdown. That two-tone coral palette carries into the gum-tinted midsole, while the translucent outsole hides a black AE fang logo at the pivot point. Black branding shows up sparingly, on the tongue badge and the heel, so the Three Stripes mark stays subtle against all that pink. The result reads as a near-monochrome study in Georgia clay, with just enough contrast in the support cage to keep the lines sharp.

Anthony Edwards and His Georgia Roots
The Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star guard Anthony Edwards grew up in Atlanta and played his lone college season for the Georgia Bulldogs, and his signature line leans hard into that backstory. Past colorways have referenced his alma mater, his youth football team, and the murals that color his hometown. The Anthony Edwards 2 Georgia Red Clay slots neatly into that lineage, this time built around the literal ground he came up on. Anyone tracking the AE2 release date for this one knows it lands as one of the most on-brand entries in the series.
