If you’re not familiar with Anthony Edwards by now, this promising young shooting guard plays on the Minnesota Timberwolves and continues to deliver great performances game after game.
He is also an Adidas athlete, so let’s take a look at the sneakers he’s worn in the 2021-2022 season and in previous years.
Anthony Edwards Adidas Crazy BYW x 2.0 Shoe
We’ve seen the Ant-Man in several different colorways of this basketball shoe from Adidas. By the way, the ‘BYW’ stands for ‘Boost You Wear’.
The shoe is a much less bulky version of its predecessor and features Adidas’ Boost foam in the soles for great cushioning. The sturdy uppers are made of mesh, for breathability and comfort.
Anthony Edwards Adidas Exhibit A Shoe
At first glance, these kicks don’t look like basketball shoes, but they are! The soles look like they’re made from Boost foam, but they’re actually made from Adidas’ newest cushioning technology called ‘Lightstrike’.
The stability clip at the back of the shoe locks the heel and ankle in to give the wearer a secure but comfortable fit.
Anthony Edwards Adidas Dame 7 Shoe
These cool kicks are part of Adidas’ Damian Lillard collection. One of the signature features of Dames is ‘D.O.L.L.A.’ printed usually on the back of the shoe. We’ve seen Edwards wear a few different colorways of this shoe, including the lit ‘Day of the Dead’ edition shown below.
Anthony Edwards Adidas Dame 7 – Day of the Dead Shoe
These special edition Dame 7 shoes were inspired by, you guessed it: the Day of the Dead holiday, or as it is called in Mexico, ‘Día de Muertos’.
We saw the Ant-Man wearing these bad boys in 2021, when he sent Yuta Watanabe of the Raptors to the floor with a deathly dunk. Damian Lillard saw Edwards’ impressive moves and tweeted “Must be the shoes”.
Adidas Harden Vol. 5 Futurenatural Shoe
These shoes look like Spring, or Bikini Bottom if you’ve watched SpongeBob SquarePants enough times.
The Harden Vol. 5 shoes come in a variety of fun, colorful patterns and combine Adidas’ Boost and Lightstrike foams for a ‘futurenatural’ playing experience.
These sneakers also have a seamless design that gives the wearer’s feet a locked-down fit and great stability.
Anthony Edwards Adidas Dame 6 Shoe
This is the predecessor of the Dame 7 and also features Adidas’ Lightstrike technology in the soles. It also has a mesh upper, protective heel area, and several eye-catching colorways.
This was the shoe that Anthony Edwards played in when he debuted in the NBA.
Will the Ant-Man have his own line of shoes with Adidas someday in the future? Only time will tell.
