to be fair though, it's the best quality show that Walmart sells 🤷‍♂️

The videos about the Nike and Adidas shoes are great and all but there’s nothing like hearing a good rise and fall story of a brand, it just has extra spice to it in my opinion.

Wild to me that And1 was actually a major brand at one point, because I've only ever known it as a department store brand. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's a bit of a downer to see a brand that was once a fairly big deal end up in that place, reminds me of Airwalk tbh.

I had some And1 shoes as a kid back in like 2003 very similar to the thumbnail ones. My family was pretty frugal because money was tight, but they were cheap and I remember they lasted me a long time even as someone who was tough on their shoes.

Appreciate that Scoob!

and1 created signature models for Sprewell and Garnett in the early 2000s. the first and1 shoe i was was a black/white Karat Mid. it was very comfortable to wear. the and1 shoe i regret buying for myself was the Sprewell. it felt heavy. kept it in storage for some years until i completely forgot about it. and it strangely disappeared. don't remember if i gave it to someone. it's sad to see no nba player wears and1 nowadays. if there's a particular and1 model i want to have now, it's the Tochillin slip-ons

Nostalgia hitting hard rn I would go on the court and try and mimic those and 1 moves! Shout out the Escalade and helicopter

since y2k is getting more trendy i think and1 should make a combback

2:02 I gotta remember to look into Escalade.

4:00 I like how the out of all the clips you could have chosen you picked one where a foul wasn't called when someone yelled "And 1"

I had a pair back in 2004, I should've bought two. These shoes felt like they hugged your feet, miss these gems.

I rocked the blue and white ti chi shoes for basketball my junior year in high school. They were comfortable and light.

Dayum.. I remember the days I wore And1 when I was in junior high school.. It was great bball shoes I wore in many tournaments at that time

And1 came out when I was in middle school and loved basketball. And1 was in my AOL username and email , not just becasue of the brand but because and1 was a basketball term. I remember really loving the Tshirts that talked crap on the back and I remember at basketball camp everyone having different ones.

And1 can make a comeback with the right marketing tools and player endorsement. And1 should start its comback by having top NBA players known for their impeccable ball handling skills endorse some newly designed kicks. Kyrie Irving would be a good start.

Dude this is crazy! So I'm from South Africa and we had And1 fever we used to watch all the mixtapes (my older bro and i ) and we'd play in our yard everyday we lived and breathed Streetball and And1

Dang yo this is sad...😢 I remember how HUGE the And1 Streetball scene was as a kid in the early 2000s it was the whole reason why games like NBA Street existed!

You guys are a fucking college course in athletic history!! I’ll never laugh at the And-1 products at Burlington & Ross ever again!! You guys should do other histories in different sports!! You guys should do some history of soccer/futbol‼️

This is pretty dope cuz I was too young to understand the impact at the time. I was born when the company was founded & didn’t fall in love with Basketball until the company was bought out around 06 lol. So it’s pretty crazy how quick things changed in a 10 yrs

I remember those and1 tai chis where always in the NBA live games. this was before EA signed with all the shoe companies but they had them as a generic shoes in the game but everyone knew what they were

My grandfather used to play for the ABA basketball league. I remember seeing his legacy storied in a night stand when I was a child.

Thats incredible

I bought the original Tai Chi lows on sale but was a Nike lifer. I was shocked how well the Tai Chis were. I instantly became an And 1 fanboi. Wish they stayed around in original form.

I remember every college hooper I knew in the 90's was rocking And1 gear. The shirts, the shorts, and if they weren't rocking Nikes on their feet, they were rocking And1s. Recently, out of curiosity, I bought a pair of And1s, and for a budget brand, they're still pretty good.

I was on the all Marine corps basketball team and we played them in 2014 in Japan. I had no idea they still toured until they told us!!

I remember being at my brothers friend's house watching the And 1 VHS tapes.

I remember 05/06 my high school classmate was crazy about the mixtape, follow the dress and style in playing and etc... too bad saw AND1 fall...

I remember all of this like it was yesterday! I was a huge sneaker kid! I literally got the 1st ever Sneakers, those Blue Steph Marbury's, the exact pair in the video! I still have a school picture where I have them on😂! I was also the only person I knew with them!

Street ball is a really interesting subgenre of basketball! Really cool to learn about it and the history of the And 1 company! Great video as always!

and1 mixtape vol. 3 with hot sauce hit different back in the day no cap a real gamechanger

Growing up And1 really got my attention. It what got me into playing basketball, i don’t know why but their peak was during 04 to 07 exactly when NBA finals is somewhat boring. No disrespect to Pistons and Spurs but their style is somewhat boring for me as a child. So I turned to and1 instead

@NachoAverageFinds

They were taking over

And1 started off wanting to complete with Adidas and Nike in the shoe maker NOT with clothes. They shifted to street ware after the first NBA player they sponsored jacked up his ankle on his first game. That when they targeted the street ballers and to have an edge and gritty appeal they created the iconic tshirts.

So you just did a condensed version of the netflix doc. Ok

Man, the days of And 1 and also the Dada's

Another reason they fell off was because some of the star players like Main Event wouldn't come off the bus during the Open Runs on the blacktop. They began to act like they were above everyone else once they started making that arena money. Hot Sauce didn't though, he was humble and down to earth. But one player by the name of Exile exposed the And 1 camp when he was hated off the tour bus because he was on the skill level of Hot Sauce. His team even dropped a mixtape of their own featuring all the top street ballers from the west coast, also Exile shook the hell outta Hot Sauce in that Streetball legends game back in 2003

Can't mention Mark Jackson and Escalade without mentioning that they're brothers... obscure basketball fact

Man I STILL want a pair of the red/white Tai Chi's lmao

You forgot some things. Set Free (And1 DJ) was very intricate in getting the mixtape around the industry, hell you hear him screaming on all the tapes. And the tour itself wasn't And1s idea, that was some of the players, read it in a SLAM magazine.
