Athletes these days are simply built different. From Jayson Tatum’s Wolverine-like recovery time to Joel Embiid playing MVP-caliber ball just weeks after getting his appendix removed, there are seemingly no limits to the limits of modern medicine combined with unstoppable willpower. As the Minnesota Timberwolves get set to start a second-round playoff series against the Spurs tonight, Anthony Edwards is joining the list of unbelievable recoveries, coming back to practice after a bone bruise and hyperextended knee. Safe to say Ant-Man is tough enough.

And while he’s not lining up on the edge anytime soon, the adidas AE 1 Low Cleat brings Edwards’ unstoppable toughness off the basketball court and onto the football field, transforming his incredibly popular first signature silhouette into a gridiron-ready football cleat. Following months of previews and an on-field debut by Travis Hunter last NFL season, the AE 1 cleats are finally dropping this week.

Arriving in three colorways, Edwards’ spikes are dropping in the white and black color that Hunter wore, a red and black two-tone, and monochrome Timberwolves blue with subtle green accents on the branding. All three pairs mimic original adidas AE 1 colorways that released: the Best of Adi, Bulldawg, and Velocity Blue.

The adidas AE 1 Low Cleat will be released May 7, 2026 through adidas and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $160. For all the latest signature sneaker multi-sport crossover news, download the Sole Retriever App.
