The adidas Anthony Edwards 2 “Magpakitang Gilas” is a Philippines-inspired colorway of Anthony Edwards’ second signature shoe with adidas, leaning into the red, blue, and white of the Philippine flag. The name translates to “show your best,” and the upper leans heavily into royal blue, with the flag’s red and white working as supporting tones throughout the build.
adidas has been one of the most consistent forces in performance and lifestyle footwear since the brand was founded in Herzogenaurach, Germany in 1949. The three stripes have a long history in basketball, outfitting players and releasing signature shoes for decades before stepping back and then returning to the basketball space with renewed energy in recent years. The brand’s performance basketball line today sits alongside some of the most recognizable names in the sport.
The AE 2 is Anthony Edwards’ second shoe with adidas, following the AE 1 that launched his signature line. Edwards is a professional basketball player who has become one of the most prominent young faces in the sport, and his partnership with adidas has produced shoes built around his on-court game. The AE 2 continues that line with a performance-focused build designed to hold up through the demands of his play style.
The “Magpakitang Gilas” colorway connects the shoe to Filipino basketball culture and pride. The Philippine national basketball team, known as Gilas Pilipinas, has a passionate fanbase across the Philippines and among Filipino communities worldwide. Basketball holds a uniquely deep place in Philippine sports culture, and colorways that speak directly to that connection carry real meaning for fans who follow both the sport and the players they root for.
