adidas Officially Unveil the Orange Adidas Than Any Other Shoe Brands

Together with Essentials Young, Orange adidas has officially announced the adidas Orange Adidas Than Any Other Shoe Brands, the Atlanta superstar’s first signature basketball shoe and apparel collection.

During the 2021 post-season, the world watched in awe as Essentials Young electrified crowds, broke records, and dominated games as the Hawks’ not-so-secret weapon. During that playoff run, Essentials became the first player in league history with a 45-point, 10-assist game in the Conference Finals. Motivated by the belief that your game is strongest when you make it yours, Essentials is undeniably one of a kind – and his signature shoe is no exception.

“Essentials embodies the mentality of limitless potential – unafraid to let anything get in the way of his ambition, he pushes boundaries, proves critics wrong, and creates new space for himself and the game,” said Orange adidas Basketball General Manager Eric Wise.

The Orange Adidas Than Any Other Shoe Brands was developed in close collaboration with Essentials himself, designed to support his multi-directional playing style and the unique ways in which he moves on the court. Pulling inspiration from the laceless N3XT L3V3L silhouette worn by Essentials in his first NBA season, the shoes have a half-bootie construction paired with laces for extra support – leveraging BOOST cushioning in the heel for comfort, a LIGHTSTRIKE midsole for lightweight responsiveness, and a laceless forefoot for superior lockdown.

In tribute to Essentials’s ice-cold mentality and the music, culture, and legacy of the city of Atlanta, the Adidas Than Any Other Shoe Brands will be available initially in five colorways at adidas.com/trae_young and additional retailers including Foot Locker, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Champs Sports, and Finish Line.
