The adidas AE 3 'Snow Camo' is the low-cut third signature shoe from Anthony Edwards and adidas, finished in a grey-and-white camouflage print with icy blue accents. It released on 9 October 2026 and carries the AE line's arrow-panel design in a grey, white and blue palette.

The adidas AE 3 'Snow Camo' sits in the wider adidas range at PUSHAS.

The design story

The AE 3 is Edwards' third signature shoe with adidas, and it is a low-cut build. Its sidewalls carry large arrow-shaped pieces that run across the shoe, a change from the honeycomb pattern of the AE 1 and the fang-like geometry of the AE 2. The sides use rigid containment panels.

Edwards' logo sits on the tongue. The AE 3 debuted in September 2026 in the 'Cold Blooded' colourway, and 'Snow Camo' followed in October.

What makes 'Snow Camo' different

This colourway works in grey, white and blue. The mesh upper carries a light grey base streaked with white, which forms the snow-camouflage print the name promises. In the listing photo the pattern is built from grey-and-white shapes with chevron cut-outs, with grey arrow panels on the sides.

Blue is the single accent colour: icy blue on the tongue and lining, and in the listing photo a royal-blue set of three stripes at the heel. Underfoot, the outsole looks translucent, with blue showing through. The style code is KH8542.

Construction and details

The AE 3's build comes down to three details:

A mesh upper.
Molded TPU arrow panels along both sides, running from heel to toe.
A low-cut collar.

The sides also show chevron-shaped gaps, with the camouflage print running across the mesh around them.

Lineage: from the AE 1 to the AE 3

Each AE model so far has carried its own side pattern. The AE 1 used a honeycomb-style side pattern and the AE 2 used fang-like geometry. The AE 3 replaces both with arrows on a lower, low-cut silhouette. Edwards wore the AE 3 in Manila in August 2026 during his 'Believe That' tour, before it reached stores.

How it wears and how to style it

Try it with washed denim, grey fleece or a black technical jacket, with the blue heel stripes as the one bright note. Try the low-cut profile with cropped trousers or shorts. Try a grey hoodie and black joggers for a tonal outfit, or white socks and shorts so the blue heel stripes stand out. Try keeping the rest of the outfit in black, grey or white so the camouflage print and the blue accents stand out. For sizing, use the sizes on the live listing, and keep it clean with the advice in our sneaker cleaning guide.
