For basketball players, the adidas AE 1 'Pure Ruby' features the signature colors of Anthony Edwards' alma mater. A black mesh upper is constructed with large TPU support wings, finished in a crimson hue, utilizing a warped honeycomb structure for improved breathability. Edwards' personal logo appears on the tongue tag, while the adidas three-bar trademark stands out in white on the external heel counter. The mid-top silhouette houses a caged midsole, packing Lightstrike foam with responsive Boost cushioning in the heel. The 'Pure Ruby' moniker reflects the vibrant red accents contrasting against the black and white elements.
