Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is slowly taking over the league and has revealed his first signature shoe, the AE1. The new Adidas commercial slightly took inspiration from the famous Michael Jordan "Banned" commercial but had a little twist to highlight the personality of Ant-Man.
Fans are excited to see Edwards' signature shoe and the NBA star is, too. In the promo video, his bravado helps him to introduce himself the way he wants to. Complete with a plethora of other nicknames, the Wolves star shines in the new Adidas promo video.
Watch below to see the new kicks.
"They said I got a little buzz going, most of y'all still don't know who I am. I'm Anthony Edwards, AKA Ant Man. AKA Young Black King. AKA aren't you a quarterback? AKA we on my time now. AKA I don't believe in anything but myself and you should, too. AKA I'm about to drop your favorite hooper's, favorite hoop shoe.
"Best in the world. Believe That."
The AE1 is scheduled for release in December 2023. Edwards has already rocked the pair during the team's media day. The pair that he wore was a unique teal/black colorway, which follows the Wolves' team colors.
The advertisement is somewhat inspired by the commercial that Nike used to promote the Jordan 1s. Watch the video below to see and compare the two promotional videos.
