As the NBA's conference finals lurk just around the corner, Adidas has released a fresh version of Anthony Edwards' signature shoe — the AE 1 Low in "Metallic Grey." The drop not only showcases Edwards' increasing star power but also indicates Adidas' dedication to releasing new, top-shelf performance footwear during the peak basketball season.

The AE 1 Low comes in a sleek Dover Grey colorway, combining style with substance. The upper is made from a breathable mesh construction, with a metallic TPU cage encircling the shoe for extra stability and a clean, cutting-edge look. Glow-in-the-dark details at the toe add a hint of flash, and a white heel logo adds visual interest to break up the grey hues for a well-rounded finish.

Underneath, business is in full swing. Lightstrike cushioning is light and responsive, perfect for fast moves and explosive bursts. Strategically positioned Boost pods in the heel and forefoot to absorb landings and increase agility. The outsole is constructed with a herringbone traction pattern that digs into the floor, providing players with confidence at both ends of the court.

Scheduled to release Saturday, the AE 1 Low "Metallic Grey" is available in men's sizing at $110 and grade school sizing at $90. Supporters can purchase them through adidas.com or select retailers.

As far as Edwards’ NBA campaign is concerned, he has led the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Western Conference finals. Game 1 is scheduled for Tuesday with Minnesota facing off against the winner of Sunday's Game 7 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets.
