Seattle Storm guard Erica Wheeler turned heads when she debuted a stunning adidas Anthony Edwards 1 “Purple” PE on court. The pair surfaced after adidas previously announced the CLOT “Blue Flame” would mark the final AE 1 release.

Previewed by adidas Basketball’s Miles Jackson-Cartwright, Wheeler’s Player-
Exclusive features a bold iridescent purple finish wrapping the midsole and sides, balanced by clean white touches on the collar and tongue. The color choice connects directly to Overtime Select, a growing platform for female hoopers, making this PE both stylish and meaningful.

While it’s unlikely this edition will see an official release, fan reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. Many hope adidas carries this energy into the upcoming Anthony Edwards 2, potentially delivering a purple-themed retail model. That possibility could extend the AE 1’s legacy while giving fans a chance to wear a look inspired by Wheeler’s exclusive sneakers.

Erica Wheeler’s adidas Anthony Edwards 1 PE is not expected to release at retail. However, fans can shop current AE 1 colorways now on adidas.com and at select basketball retailers.
