Updated May 16th, 2024: Anthony Edwards will be wearing this adidas AE1 Low “Ascent” during Game 6 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals series between the Timberwolves and Nuggets. Given the elimination nature of this game, this could be the last time we see Anthony Edwards on an NBA court until next season. As of this update, a release date has yet to be revealed.

Anthony Edwards caught sneakerheads by surprise when he debuted the adidas AE1 Low just before the NBA playoffs, and if this pair is any indication, newly surfaced colorways will most definitely spark extreme hype.
The AE1 Low follows the same formula as the Mid, only with less mesh up top to produce the lower height. The cage and heel structures appear untouched, and the first few colorways have stuck to the same split top/bottom color blocking that’s been consistent on nearly all Mids to date. These modifications amount to a price reduction down to $110.
Far and away the most notable feature of this pair is the “MX Grey” pattern that adorns the cage, often seen in Kanye West’s Yeezy Slide and Yeezy Foam Runner designs. Naturally, this begs a number of questions: Will adidas keep this theme going with more “MX” colorways as we’ve seen in other AE1s and adidas product in general?
There’s lots to be excited about and even more to speculate on, but for now, it’ll take more time for the dust to settle around the new cut’s landing. No release date for this “MX Grey” colorway has been set at the time of this writing, but this model alone with be regularly cycled throughout Summer and Fall.
