Fans React to Anthony Edwards Getting Adidas Cleats Before Noah Lyles
Fans React to Anthony Edwards Getting Adidas Cleats Before Noah Lyles originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Anthony Edwards continues to rise in popularity as one of the NBA's main attractions, thanks to his on-court performances. He and the Minnesota Timberwolves eliminated the Lakers and Warriors from the playoffs, with superstars LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Steph Curry, and Jimmy Butler forced to watch the other rounds from afar. Advertisement Edwards and his squad couldn't eliminate the Oklahoma City Thunder, but it seems that Minnesota will be a serious contender thanks to Ant-Man and his supporting cast members. And they could receive an upgrade by adding an impressive rookie via the NBA Draft or trading for Kevin Durant during the offseason.

He's got a signature basketball shoe with Adidas with the Anthony Edwards 1 Low, and it's set to expand into another sport. An interesting development recently arrived with Ant's sneaker, as news hit that he and the shoe brand are dropping AE 1 football cleats next year. Advertisement The Nice Kicks X account dropped an early look at the upcoming shoe for the gridiron, and for those wondering, Edwards excelled at youth football in Georgia before switching his focus to hoops. Fan reactions to the AE 1 cleats have seemed mostly positive without knowing how well these shoes will work for football. That said, many individuals couldn't help but mention a fellow USA Olympic athlete. "Noah is not going to like this," a popular comment on the X post said. "Noah Lyles fuming somewhere rn," another X commenter wrote. "Now do it for track and field. I wanna see something real quick," one commenter said. Advertisement "How a NBA player got the best football cleats lol," someone asked in an X comment. Both Edwards and Lyles achieved gold at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. Ant's came from Team USA basketball, while Lyles won his in the men's 100 metres event. He's touted himself as a "six-time world champion." Earlier this month, former NFL star Cam Newton asked Lyles about the perceived beef or quarrel between him and Edwards. Last year, a video from The Guardian features Lyles calling out Team USA basketball as "world champions of what?" While talking with Newton on his podcast, the track and field star explained his contract situation with Adidas and how he previously expressed interest to them in having a signature shoe like Edwards does. Lyles told Newton that he requires spikes for running and Adidas makes 'some of the best in the world" so he likely wouldn't go with another brand despite his frustration with them. However, the popular shoe company hasn't released a line of signature track and field cleats for him.

Anthony Edwards has one major exciting update amid his offseason break

Image via: David Berding/ Getty Images As Anthony Edwards enjoys an offseason breather following a strong playoff run with the Minnesota Timberwolves, the rising NBA star is making headlines off the court in the world of sports fashion. While many fans expected a quiet summer from the 22-year-old All-Star, a surprising announcement from adidas has set the stage for Edwards to break new ground with a product crossover. Anthony Edwards makes bold offseason move as Adidas unveils first-ever AE 1 football cleats Anthony Edwards' first signature shoe with adidas — the AE 1 — was an instant hit. Its sharp design and on-court performance made it one of the brand's most successful basketball launches in recent memory. Now, in an unprecedented move, Adidas is turning that hardwood success into a cleated version for the football field. Set to release in summer 2026, the AE 1 Low will be reimagined as a high-performance football cleat. The cleat features the same visual DNA as the original, including the signature TPU honeycomb wing, fanged toe cap, and breathable mesh upper. But Adidas has added the Freak Plate 20s outsole for field-ready grip, maintaining the sneaker's low-cut silhouette while enhancing stability and explosive mobility. Edwards, who was a former youth football player, seems the perfect face for this basketball-to-football transition. Long before dazzling NBA crowds, Edwards was lighting up youth football fields as a standout running back and quarterback. 'I could have been a professional football player,' Edwards recently admitted. 'I was really good. I was the No. 1 running back in the country at 9 or 10. I stopped playing because I seen my brothers playing basketball. I thought it looked more fun.' That fateful switch from football to basketball eventually led him to the University of Georgia, where he became one of the most electrifying players in the country before going No. 1 in the 2020 NBA Draft. Since entering the league, Edwards has lived up to the hype, earning All-NBA Second Team honors this season while averaging 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game. Also Read: 'He says dumb sh*t' — 14 years later, NBA fans condemned LeBron James after his infamous post-game briefing took a jab at critics resurfaced His crossover success isn't just limited to stats; Edwards is now the first Adidas basketball athlete to have a shoe adapted for football. It was a distinction previously reserved for Nike legends like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Michael Jordan. Even NFL players like Jordan Addison and Travis Hunter have pushed for this cleat version of Edwards' shoe, with Addison debuting a custom pair in an NFL game last year.
