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. The overall aesthetic is striking and sophisticated, perfect for making a statement on and off the court. 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 will release in December 2024 through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $150, a $30 increase from the standard $120.
