AND1

Since there are more and more people playing basketball in the gym regularly these day, it's time to get a pair of proper basketball shoes. Being the only representative from the Malaysia I have to look better if not play better.

I saw this pair of AND1 Open Run Mid in two sports shops at Oxford Street but all running out of my size. I didn't give up and finally found the last pair at Lilywhites Picadilly Circus at 50% discount, for only £27. After long consideration I choose the AND1 over the Adidas A3 Artillery (with a high tech look sole for a very good bargain price too at £30) because it feels really comfy and lightweight. The Adidas feels a bit clumsy to me.

Unlike other brands, AND1 is specialising in basketball shoes and apparel and actively promoting street basketball.


A video on AND1 Mixtape tour. Anyway it seems that the rules deviate from the standard one which players are allowed to carry the ball above the shoulder and there's no traveling and double dribbling violation??
