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.
