Anthony Edwards' Top 5 Adidas AE 1 Sneakers | Nice Kicks

Anthony Edwards, the dynamic young talent from the Minnesota Timberwolves, has been creating headlines in the NBA since his debut season, and his most recent performance has only amplified his growing stature.

With personal bests in points, assists, and rebounds, along with the launch of his inaugural signature shoe with adidas, Edwards has firmly established himself as one of the league’s prominent figures.

Now, Anthony Edwards is stepping into the gaming realm with his participation in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 promotion. As part of the game’s advertising initiative, Edwards is humorously substituted by The Replacer, the mascot of Black Ops, who takes over the roles of various celebrities and athletes while they engage in Call of Duty.

In a break from gaming, AE took a moment to share his top 5 favorite colorways of his debut signature sneaker, the adidas AE 1. Take a look at Ant-Man’s adidas AE 1 rankings below.


5. adidas AE 1 PE “3SSB”

The adidas AE 1 “3SSB” PE, designed specifically for Anthony Edwards, links the Timberwolves star with adidas’ 3 Stripes Select Basketball (3SSB) program. This circuit provides a platform for elite high school talent, and the AE 1 “3SSB” PE not only reflects Edwards’ explosive style through its vivid color palette but also pays tribute to the grassroots competitions that serve as the breeding ground for future stars.

4. adidas AE 1 PE “Timberwolves”

During Minnesota’s final regular season match against the Phoenix Suns, Anthony Edwards donned the adidas AE 1 “Timberwolves” PE, which pays tribute to the team’s retro uniforms. The design features a striking blend of bright blue and neon green accents to align with the team’s visual identity.

3. adidas AE 1 “Chome”

After a standout 2023-24 season showcasing his signature adidas AE 1, Anthony Edwards introduced a new “Chrome” colorway during Timberwolves Media Day. The turquoise laces add a stylish detail that matches his logo on the tongue as well as the adidas branding on the heel. This is the first mentioned colorway that is not a player exclusive, with a tentative release planned for December 2024.

2. adidas AE 1 Low “Team USA”

Edwards made his Olympic debut at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris, where he sported three unique USA-themed colorways of his adidas AE 1, represented in red, white, and navy blue. The low-top versions were created to commemorate his position on Team USA, with the Navy Blue iteration emerging as a standout during the Gold Medal match against France—Edwards’ favorite from the set that completed his remarkable Olympic journey.

1. adidas AE 1 “Velocity Blue”

Claiming the top position in Anthony Edwards’ adidas AE 1 lineup is another Timberwolves-themed colorway. The adidas AE 1 “Velocity Blue” features a cutting-edge design infused with a striking blue reminiscent of the pre-2017 Timberwolves colors. The design includes subtle hints to the team’s identity through the “Aurora Green” accents, featuring the Three Stripes on the heel, an alternate lace set, and Edwards’ signature logo on the tongue, which artfully resembles a pine tree.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
