Adidas AG’s sneaker line with basketball star Anthony Edwards has become a smash hit in its first six months on the market, according to footwear retailers.

The shoes are the fastest-growing signature franchise at Foot Locker Inc., the retailer said Thursday, as the 22-year-old Minnesota Timberwolves guard establishes himself as one of the National Basketball Association’s top talents.
