Like the other Adidas AE1s, the MX Charcoal has a TPU overlay across its sides with ventilated holes. Adidas said the new AE1 colorway will be released in August with an introductory price of $120.
The popularity of the AE1 is fast growing among the sneaker community as the Minnesota Timberwolves have risen to an elite level in the NBA, and they continue to battle the best teams in the NBA Western Conference for the best record come playoff time.
The success of the Timberwolves is much credited to Edwards' elevated gameplay. He is averaging 26.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.3 steals per game this season.
