Anthony Edwards' signature sneaker with adidas, the adidas AE 1, has taken the sneaker world by storm. Basketball players and sneakerheads alike have praised the model for its outstanding on-court performance and stylish design. Since its launch, the OG colorways have sold out rapidly, and the upcoming Ascent Pack, featuring both the standard AE 1 and the new AE 1 Low, has kept the momentum going strong. With adidas recently announcing a multi-year extension with Edwards, which secures the star player an eight-figure annual salary, anticipation for new colorways is higher than ever. Next up for the AE 1? A Silver Metallic makeover.
Like the viral custom pair that hit the internet, the adidas AE 1 Silver Metallic features a metallic silver hue prominently displayed on the generative support wing on the midfoot, giving the shoe a futuristic and bold look. This honeycomb-laden panel contrasts sharply with the black accents on the toe, Primeblue knit upper, neoprene tongue, and faux carbon fiber heel tab. Blue branding details break up the two-tone color scheme, including the Anthony Edwards logo on the tongue and the Three Stripes on the heel tab.
Underfoot, the AE 1 Silver Metallic boasts a full-length Jet Boost midsole, ensuring maximum comfort and responsiveness during gameplay. The black rubber outsole provides excellent traction, making this sneaker as functional as it is fashionable.
The adidas AE 1 Silver Metallic was originally slated to release in December 2024. However, the pair will now release on February 13, 2025, through Foot Locker in San Francisco and on February 27, 2025, through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. In men’s sizing, the retail price is $130. Keep it locked to the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
