Those were comfortable to ball in. My team had the all black ones.i remember every single damn kid who played basketball had these in middle school, it was ridiculous
glad even as a youngin i still still a nike for life type dude, i thought of And1 as trash back then too
backsame here bruh, same here :x
Streetball and StreetLife go hand in hand, you just gotta make smarter decisions and clearly these guys did not. You can't treat it like a 9 to 5. You gotta treat it like an investment. Sad to see such talented guys scavenging for gigs.I remember AND1 in SLAM mag in tha mid to late 90s
Tha first guy to push AND1 wasnt Marbury or Rafer it was actually Larry Johnson
Tha OG shorts heavy mesh with tha simple 2/3 colour block design n faceless guy were crack even for a nike only guy like me and as mentioned tha trash talk ts but again they got weak tha longer they ran with them
Tha first 6 shirts were dope them and a company called Get Paid were really tha first to do trash talk or slogan ts hood style in the mid 90s
Tha one shoe nobody has mentioned was tha 99 playoff shoe heavily rocked by Webber and of course Spree it laced on the inside diagonaly was 2 tone similar to tha tai chis and the inside of the sole was cut out like tha Reebok pump furys I have no idea of the name though can anybody name them?
And to chime in on these guys not getting paid alot I ran into and talked to Future at West 4th in NY last summer Im from England he was shocked I knew who he was hes literaly scrapeing by he was wearing gear from rucker and had a 2way pager completely beat up.He told me Alimoe can hardly play now due to his diabetes and him Shane an Main travel around putting on shows.
These guys had all that exposure but are still dead broke n in tha hood n Future had Nike money for a minute probably blew it all
Peace

True, but they were getting raped. The people over the tour were making millions off of them, they were getting like 60 thou. Again, they're still making money off of them by collecting royalties off allowing And 1 Live to use the nameStreetball and StreetLife go hand in hand, you just gotta make smarter decisions and clearly these guys did not. You can't treat it like a 9 to 5. You gotta treat it like an investment. Sad to see such talented guys scavenging for gigs.
