Peak Andrew Wiggins AW3 — The Switch Series
The third chapter in Andrew Wiggins' signature line with Peak, the AW3 is built around a modular performance philosophy unlike anything else in basketball footwear. Released in late 2024, the series centers on the "Switch" system — a fully interchangeable drop-in midsole that lets players tune their shoe's performance to their specific playstyle, position, and court conditions.
