Noah Lyles Speaks Out About Anthony Edwards And Adidas Controversy

Noah Lyles has been in the news over the last couple of days for his so-called expressions toward Anthony Edwards and Adidas.

Lyles reportedly received an invitation to Edwards sneaker release and was distraught by the idea that he was receiving a sneaker when he hasn't won anything in the NBA , while he still waits for a sneaker line even though he's a world champion.

Well, Lyles cleared the air Monday morning via X.

“There is a rumor going around that I did not go to @theantedwards_ shoe release because he didn’t deserve it. That is not the case; he definitely deserves his shoes. He is an amazing player. The problem was finding time based on my prior engagements. Congratulations on becoming an Olympic champion!” Lyles said.

Lyles has been faced with a lot of controversial topics in the past; however, he remains one of the best Olympians in the world, and his opinion carries a lot of weight.

Clearing the air on something that drew a lot of attention was a class-act move from an elite competitor.
