adidas Basketball Crafts Four Sneakers for the McDonald’s All-American Game
Published
Since 2012, adidas has sponsored the McDonald’s All-American Game, a showcase of the top high school talent in basketball. With each event, The Three Stripes creates a series of performance basketball models, from signature to inline sneakers, specifically for athletes in the game. This year, adidas has cooked up four different sneakers: a Harden Vol. 9, Dame 9, DON Issue 6, and Adizero Select 3.0.
Hi-vis color palettes are applied to each of the four sneakers, with all but the Harden Vol. 9 featuring a split design. Starting with The Beard’s latest signature model, the sneaker features its two-piece upper, featuring an internal bootie construction reinforced with a single panel spanning the entire upper. Three Stripe cutouts on the midfoot reveal the black mesh and neoprene of the base layer, while the panel itself takes on a bright coral-red finish. Final details include star logos on the heel tab, McDonald’s All-American branding on the left heel, and a tonal pink rubber outsole.
Dame and Donovan’s sneakers are dipped in volt green and coral red shades, and Don’s features a volt green mesh base with red accents on the Three Stripes and medial eyelets. Damian Lillard’s pair also features these same split design details and colors, though the internal bootie has a black finish. Both pairs contain McDonald’s All-American logos on the tongue, Dame’s placing one on the right shoe, and Mitchell’s on both. Finally, the Adizero 3.0 comes in pink and blue, splitting the colors between the left and right, respectively, and McDonald’s logos on the heel.
All four pairs in adidas Basketball’s 2025 McDonald’s All-American Game Collection will be exclusive for select adidas athletes and those who participate in the game itself.
