Matt Varga The championship hopes of the Timberwolves are squarer on Anthony Edwards’ shoulders than ever, as major off-season shakeups have the Georgia product launching a league-leading amount of threes in the opening quarter of the NBA calendar. Early season jitters and how radically different this roster is should be reason enough to still placing your hopes on Ant to carry the franchise — and the fact that he’s already doing it elsewhere. The breakout success of the adidas Anthony Edwards 1 has only been bolstered by its lifestyle-minded low cut, and a “Metal Grey” colorway that just hit the ‘net ensures it’ll creep towards another summer yet.
The tonal atmosphere established with multiple neutral shades hits on the stealthy home base that the silhouette has carved out so far. Look to the “Iron Sharpens Iron” for a comparison point, though the matte finish that permeates this design makes it a more low-key approach than some of the metallic executions that came before it. There’s also no ignoring the “Grey Wolf” vibe that this steely colorway achieves, perhaps a tacit nod to his Minnesota squad rather than an overt one. Finally, in case you don’t tend to dress reserved, a dose of 3M on the toe-box ensures that you and your kicks can still achieve the same flash that Ant does on a nightly basis.
The adidas Anthony Edwards 1 Low “Metal Grey” is projected to hit shelves in May 2025, retailing for $110 once it does. Our Sneaker Release Dates page has you covered for any late-breaking changes as we approach that window.
