AdidasAE 1

Verdict

The Adidas AE 1 is a high-performing option in its class — a performance low-top scoring 86/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 370g, it is on the heavier side for a performance low-top. The 27mm heel stack — a moderate stack — delivers a medium-firm ride at 33 HC, returning 68% of impact energy and feeling exceptionally bouncy underfoot. Geometrically, the AE 1 runs on a near-zero 0mm drop built for natural gait and forefoot-first runners, with a 27mm forefoot stack that creates a naturally ground-hugging feel. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 106mm — extra-wide, suited to broad or bunion-prone feet — and the upper comes in a standard width. True to size. Generous toe box. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for guards, all-around play, style-conscious players, and performs less well for centers who need max ankle support.
