Andrew Rizzo The continued rise of basketball in the Philippines has been well documented and well capitalized on by sneaker brands and their top athletes. While Nike leans on Dylan Harper to front a trio of Titan 22 collaborations, adidas is giving Anthony Edwards’ line a pair of country-exclusive drops centered around Filipino pride.
Joining the Anthony Edwards 2 “Magpakitang Gilas” is this red and yellow gradient take on the Believe That 1, Ant’s debut takedown model. The same local touches return, including patterned insoles and a basketball logo on the tongue. The Filipino national team, known as Gilas Pilipinas, officially switched outfitters from Nike to adidas last year, a sizable get for the Three Stripes on the FIBA front. Expect plenty more matching sneakers in the years ahead.
The adidas Anthony Edwards Believe That 1 “Philippines” drops exclusively in the Philippines soon, retailing for roughly $100. See detailed pics below if you’re set on copping.
