Overview
- Adidas released the Anthony Edwards AE 2 ad on Oct. 24 featuring Katt Williams in an NSFW monologue that quickly drew wide social-media attention.
- Williams mocks an unnamed “two-guard” and “them shoes,” a line widely interpreted as a dig at Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his Converse SHAI 001.
- The commercial is part of Adidas’ broader push for Edwards’ signature line, arriving as the AE 2 “Blue Burst” colorway goes on sale Saturday.
- The message adds off-court heat to a rivalry rooted in the 2025 Western Conference Finals, when Oklahoma City eliminated Minnesota.
- Attention now turns to their next meeting on Nov. 26 in Oklahoma City, with no reply from Gilgeous-Alexander or Converse reported to date.
