    The 2025-26 NBA season's mid-year break is inching closer. Countless fans, brands, and other participants are finalizing their plans for their visit to the greater Los Angeles area in celebration of basketball. adidas, the sponsor of several of All-Star Weekend's chosen talent, has just unveiled some of what it has planned in the "City of Angels" between Thursday, Feb. 12, and Sunday, Feb. 15.

    A focal point of the Three Stripes' efforts are rooted in a commitment to the next generation of hoopers, cultural taste-makers, and creatives. On the professional front, adidas Basketball's partnership with Anthony Edwards has served as a masterclass in empowering the youth. Other athletes rocking with the Three Stripes during the Weekend include: Donovan Mitchell, VJ Edgecombe, Jeremiah Fears, and Collin Murray-Boyles.

    “The next generation of basketball lives at the intersection of culture and performance," shared Max Staiger, Global General Manager of adidas Basketball. "NBA All-Star Weekend is the ultimate expression of that energy. In Los Angeles, we’re bringing the vision of adidas Basketball to life – immersing fans in the culture that defines the game and our journey to be the brand for the next generation."

    During All-Star Weekend, fans will be able to participate in the sportswear juggernaut's plans by way of festive programming.

    An ambitious series of new product drops kick off the brand's community-oriented initiatives. ASW-inspired takes on signature franchises—Harden Vol. 10, Dame X, D.O.N. ISSUE # 7, AE 2—are amongst dozens of items built for and rooted in basketball.

    Check out the pairs ahead, followed by a schedule of events you can attend from Feb. 12-15.
