Anthony Edwards has been basking in the glory of his signature sneaker with adidas, the adidas AE 1, as sneakerheads and sneaker media outlets have it pegged as one of, if not the best, sneaker of 2024. While we will have to wait a bit before the sophomore release from Ant-Man’s line, The Three Stripes has prepped plenty of low-top AE 1s, including the PE to Retail, Year of the Snake, and Best of Adi 2.0. A new Metal Grey colorway is added to 2025’s AE 1 Low releases.
Unlike many other adidas AE 1 releases and colorways, this pair utilizes a non-black Primeblue knit base, joining pairs like PE to Retail, the McDonald’s All-American, Team USA, and the Multi-Color. The knit here has a tonal grey finish, shaded slightly differently than the neoprene tongue, lace set, and sockliner. Along the midfoot, the honeycomb generative support wing has a darker grey finish that matches the faux carbon fiber on the heel tab.
