The popular comic features a superhero who's capable of shifting shapes and shrinking to the size of an ant. While the Minnesota Timberwolves guard certainly isn't a small player by any means, he plays with strength beyond his frame and moves fast enough to be mistaken for the real Ant-Man. The shoes will feature a black/red/dark silver colorway, based on Ant-Man's suit. The shoe has a solid rubber midsole, perfect for impact upon landing and traction on the court. The hallmark detail of the sneakers will feature removable and replaceable patches featuring the Ant-Man logo, a Marvel logo, and Anthony Edwards' signature logo.

Edwards first debuted the sneakers at All-Star weekend where they drew a ton of attention from sneakerheads. Edwards has worn the model of shoe for the majority of this season. The former No. 1 overall pick is having a stellar sophomore season, averaging 24.6 PPG, 5.8 RPG, and 4.4 APG. The Timberwolves will square off against the Los Angeles Lakers on April 11 for the play-in tournament and the right to face the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs. Can Edwards channel his inner Ant-Man and lead the Timberwolves to a heroic run?
