Andrew Wiggins is an anchor of the Timberwolves’ incredibly bright future as the first overall pick has showcased signs of brilliance thanks to his insane athletic ability and quick first step. It makes sense that the three stripes would give one of their latest basketball models a name like the adidas Crazy Explosive and gift Wiggins not one, but two player exclusives slated to arrive at retailers in limited quantities this Saturday, November 5th.

The adidas Crazy Explosive Andrew Wiggins PE was jarring upon first look. Initial reactions on the internet were a bit harsh (but you could say the same thing about James Harden’s latest model and that silhouette will do just fine once it hit retailers). After recontextualizing the Primeknit and Boost offering and seeing it on-feet, it’s clear that adidas Hoops continues to push the envelope and evolve on-court performance models more than ever. The high-arching construction is lightweight and breathable with a sleek ribbed midsole covering the Boost technology. Wiggins’ signature ‘AW’ logo sports the Canadian maple leaf in a nod to his home country while a Timberwolves theme features blue, grey, and vibrant green accents on both pairs.

Check out more detailed shots of both the “Home” and “Away” colorways of the adidas Crazy Explosive Andrew Wiggins PE and know that the duo will drop this Saturday, November 5th for $150 USD at adidas.com.
