Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves has been having a superhero-like season.
The shooting guard just finished his third regular season with the T-Wolves and averaged career highs of 24.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.4 on 45.9% from the field and 36.9% from the three-point line.
A superhero player deserves superhero shoes.
That is why Adidas and Marvel have collaborated to create special Ant-Man sneakers in honor of Edwards and the iconic comic book character who shares his nickname.
AdidasHoops showed off the new shoes on Twitter, via NBACentral, and they are already generating a lot of hype online.

The shoes are now available on Adidas’ website but they will surely sell out fast.
That’s not just because they are from one of the biggest shoe companies in the world, it’s also because they revolve around one of the most promising and impressive stars in the league.
Fans online quickly commented on the product, with many loving them but some critiquing their style.
“A real life superhero,” Per Sources said about the kicks.

Others weren’t so convinced, commenting that they looked like something made for kids.
The collabs a good idea, the execution is kind of childish. That’s probably the target audience so I guess it’s a W

Edwards has become consistently better each season.
However, the Timberwolves haven’t improved as much as fans were hoping.
They are now about to enter their second play-in tournament in as many seasons.
Edwards and his short-handed Timberwolves will have their work cut out for them on Tuesday as they face off against the Los Angeles Lakers.
He will fight hard and is hoping he has a night that is as Marvel-ous as these shoes.
