@@InsanefactionENJ Everything I want goes on sale. While everyone is buying dunks and AJ1s there's a whole 'nother world.... Pennys, Grant Hills, Questiona etx
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.
The Professor still killin it, cold ass white boy ❄️ He got multi-millions of followers on Instagram. He also popping on UA-cam as well. He just post videos of him playing Ball. And he be absolutely killing it still to this day. I remember My fave growing up was Hot Sauce though. I even bought the Streetball DVD's. And can't forgot bout the NBA Streetball videogame.
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.
Thank you so much for this video, Bryan! I remember this era of street ball fondly. My brother and I were probably the first kids wearing And 1 clothes back in high school. Those trash talk tees were amazing! I saw that Mitchell & Ness did a collab with And 1 and brought some of the tees back.
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.
Tom Austin the guy behind the footwear design team was obsessed with making a good product. Maybe that’s why they lasted so long for you! Thanks for sharing man
NBA Jam, SLAM Magazine, Shaq Fu… Man, this was about the time I began to lose interest in Bball and HipHop. “I Used To Love H.E.R.” I was with Common back then. I enjoyed the ride up, but everything became commercial and, therefore, homogenized. Road Running is going through this phenomenon now. It’s a good thing Track & Field isn’t as easy to pimp. Great upload. ✌🏽💙👟
I always remember And1 pretty fondly, back in highschool we were all pretty broke, so the shorts, socks, and some of the Jordan knockoffs were pretty popular. The shorts especially, they were cheap and held up good enough for football practice
I miss the days when sports/athletics companies would make proper advertising campaigns. The whole lil story they would put behind a product and the athlete endorsing it.
I remember watching my big sister's high school basketball game. And she's the only one who wore And1s while her teammates were wearing Nikes and Adidas
My bros Bryan and Nacho with great content as always 💯🍻 This one took me back to the early 2000’s and on era, tai chis hold a place in time. Love u guys and your work
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
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.
Hi. New subscriber here, in Canada. I really love your channel, YOU MAKE SUPERINTERESTING common craziness of loving sneakers into an art, and push it to the next level. This is awesome!!! Could you please do videos of Adidas Basketball Top Ten, Nike Marty McFly's sneakers and Puma GV Special??? Cheers!
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 tried to join and1 when they had auditions here in cleveland mid 90s ..shit was WILD YO.. you should have seen it,i met Allen inverson that year on that court💯💯💯💯Dope history!
I used to own two pairs of AND1s, there was a pair of grey-shaded patchwork slip-ons, that were lightweight but durable. I can't find the model colorway anywhere on the internet, sadly. And then there were a white-blue pair of AND1 Uprise, that became my favorite pair of basketball shoes I've ever owned. They lasted me a looong time through continuous use on different surfaces. Indoor, outdoor, wherever. I've always appreciated AND1's dedication to making an affordable, but durable and well-performing product. I've had two pair of budget Air and Zoom Nikes since, that served me okay but couldn't dethrone the AND1s. Now I have two pairs of Adidas Dame 3 and 8 EXTPLY respectively, and time will tell.
The show was so dope. I would spend all summer trying to master those moves. Anytime someone would ball with the AND1 shirts on we knew they could hoop!
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!
6:27 is not Hot Sauce, but Roberto Yong aka Exile, an opposing player on the and1 open runs, but yes they do look similair. also Hot Sauce was not discovered on an open run himself in Atlanta, as he was incarcerated when the tour came to Atlanta. They posted bail and flew him out to LA, and put him on the And1 Team directly because of his status directly.
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
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
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 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
Need to check out the and1 30 yr anniversary Marauder, came out this year. Very nice sneaker and they have rereleased a lot of old sneakers and have a new shirt out
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.
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.
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
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.
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‼️
The designs were really good and they are really affordable. The quality of these shoes was ahead of its time, surpassing that of Nike, Adidas, and Reebok. These major brands offered shoes with excellent adhesive properties, ensuring they lasted for many years. You could even wash your shoes, and the soles wouldn't detach for years. In contrast, AND1's quality was considerably poorer, causing them to wear out quickly. Now, Nike seems to be following a similar path. While their shoes maintain good overall performance and technology, the adhesive used in recent models doesn't endure as long as the sturdy construction they were known for in the 1990s and early 2000s.
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!
You made such entertaining and in depth videos about so many sneakers with big cultural impact but what about air max 90’s? In my opinion the air max line is one of the most recognizable shoe lines still relevant today and i would love to see you continue the air max series 🫶
Kids EVERYTHING he said in this was facts! I lived this and those times was amazing & will NEVER ve duplicated! And it was mixtapes and shht,a WHOLE vibe! surrounding it..Damn i miss that ish yo!!!
It’s crazy how and1 went from a brand that was rivaling nike to a Walmart brand
It is wild!
That why I stopped buying Jordans. Just buy the shoes I like 96 Grant Hills, White Reebok. Going the get a pair of E-Wing soon.

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

Glad you think you so dude. More small brand love
The Professor still killin it, cold ass white boy ❄️
He got multi-millions of followers on Instagram.
He also popping on UA-cam as well.
He just post videos of him playing Ball.
And he be absolutely killing it still to this day.
I remember My fave growing up was Hot Sauce though.
I even bought the Streetball DVD's.
And can't forgot bout the NBA Streetball videogame.
His channel is dope!
He’s a man, not a boy. Why the racial slur?
Its crazy cuz back then he wasnt shit you had alimoe hot sauce the pharmacist bone collector he was last pic he still is in my opinion
Those mixtapes held us hostage in the early 2000’s! Used to sit in foot locker just to watch them
Haha man I was hooked watching them back for this edit
I was in middle school!! You have no idea how obsessed I was 😂
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.
if they stayed the course i think theyd do ok. with the amount of new shoe brands nowadays its actually easier for them to stay aflot now.
Its like champion but reversed
Airwalk was big in the 90s for skaters.
Thank you so much for this video, Bryan! I remember this era of street ball fondly. My brother and I were probably the first kids wearing And 1 clothes back in high school. Those trash talk tees were amazing! I saw that Mitchell & Ness did a collab with And 1 and brought some of the tees back.
Man what kid didn’t have an And1 tee in the closet back then haha they made the best shirts
Born in 1996, grew up playing during the streetball craze. Knee length And1’s are still the only basketball shorts I will wear hahaha. Great video 👍
Oh yeah I'd imagine they're the most comfortable shorts to play in
I need this to be known that Shawn Kemp was not the "rain man" but in fact he was the "ReignMan". They hit differently
Correct
@NachoAverageFinds bro how you reply before I even finish the video??? Goat energy frfr
Because I appreciate you for real. Thanks for peeping the vids!@@skycapt01
We still have And1 in Walmart in Canada and I’m actually wearing And1 shorts right now 😂
And1 shorts are legendary! I swear they are indestructible. I've had a couple pairs for almost 10 years that I keep around for the court.
@@notgray88 yup had this since I was 16 years old I’m 37 this year 😂
Y’all’s videos are fire. You guys are the, “Gods of Sneaker Knowledge” w/top quality production. One of the best channels on UA-cam hands-down.
Thanks for saying that Dean!
As someone from the middle east And1 made me love basketball as a child, i'll never forget that!
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.

Rebook and AND1 were my dream shoes when I was a kid. All because of Allen Iverson, Hot Sauce, and the Professor
I miss the days when sports/athletics companies would make proper advertising campaigns. The whole lil story they would put behind a product and the athlete endorsing it.
I know it feels so stale nowadays. Totally agree!
Yep. I mean, ads today are bland.
Your videos continually exceed expectations. Good work.
Thanks B
Man who didn’t want the and1 mixtape vhs leaving footlocker you felt like a king lol
Anyone Who was ever tight on money know and1 are Fire🔥💯💯
And here I am collecting And1's.
hahah Nothing wrong with it
Those mix tapes were really popular back then. Even Dave Chappelle made a skit about them on the Chappelle show!
Bryan, I was just about to suggest to you in our FB group a video about And 1! Awesome!
- Jhon
What's up kuya
Isn’t and1 sold in Walmart now? Another great video!!
I believe so. Believe it our not I haven't stepped foot in a wal-mart for years haha
what a time to be a young basketball fan !!! thank you for the memories !
🙏🙏
Now this is a great video bro, keep up the work
Appreciate you
What a time to be alive, growing up as a kid in that time.
Great story on the history of AND1. Well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Marty O
Thanks Marty!
I remember watching my big sister's high school basketball game. And she's the only one who wore And1s while her teammates were wearing Nikes and Adidas
Great video. I have the recent high end shoes and they're pretty good. I'd say they still have it in terms of performance and design.
Finally ive been asking for this for 2 years lol love ya
It needs to be revived
They've tried many times
Based on the way, Steph Curry, James Harden, and Nicola jokic play, it’s screaming out for a comeback
My bros Bryan and Nacho with great content as always 💯🍻
This one took me back to the early 2000’s and on era, tai chis hold a place in time. Love u guys and your work

I wldnt be mad if these vids was 30 min plus I’m just a old school sneaker head and truly dig the content 🤷🏿♂️
Appreciate that Scoob!
Thai chi, Rebel, Asphalt...got them and still use them.
Respect!

This Sunday in Coney Island, the and1 open run is back & the return of the mixtape.
Thanks been waiting for this video!
The tai chi brings me back yo!!
Iconic pair of And1s man
I had a pair back in 2004, I should've bought two. These shoes felt like they hugged your feet, miss these gems.
I used to own two pairs of AND1s, there was a pair of grey-shaded patchwork slip-ons, that were lightweight but durable. I can't find the model colorway anywhere on the internet, sadly.

Nostalgia hitting hard rn
I would go on the court and try and mimic those and 1 moves!
Shout out the Escalade and helicopter
The show was so dope. I would spend all summer trying to master those moves. Anytime someone would ball with the AND1 shirts on we knew they could hoop!
Fuck I rememeber watching And1 on ESPN and then hitting the court at night! So many memories of playing ball all over LA during my younger years.
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!
And1 had the best shorts in the beginning.
I’m sick that Full Size Run ending but I’m glad y’all still holding sneaker culture down
I’m positive they’ll start something dope next! Love those dudes
Thank you so much for the fucking awesome video bro, I really like the video
The KG and Spree shoes were so dope. And Carter aced that dunk contest in the Tai Chi’s. But Postgame shoes are the true legacy.
6:27 is not Hot Sauce, but Roberto Yong aka Exile, an opposing player on the and1 open runs, but yes they do look similair. also Hot Sauce was not discovered on an open run himself in Atlanta, as he was incarcerated when the tour came to Atlanta.

Those classic trash talk tees take me back. I wonder if i can find some.
Check out Mitchell and ness. They just did a colab. Also the mixtape tour is going to be in Coney Island on Sunday.
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
I must've been sleeping when And 1 released sneakers.
I don't remember them at all.😂
They had a huge impact in the US
@@NachoAverageFinds I'm in Britain. That's probably why I don't remember them.👍
Great video
And1 was a thing of its own
Thanks dude! Hope all is well
@NachoAverageFinds Doing good thanks for asking 😁 Hope your staying cool in this heatwave 🥵
can't wear anything but slides with this heat 😄
Yeah it's wild! Can't wait for winter@@titodenino
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
Love your videos keep going
Nice video.
Thanks man good to hear from you
I am from Germany and i still have an And 1 Jersey that i bought in 2004 as a teenager
2:02 I gotta remember to look into Escalade.
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

I loved NBA Jam session and Inside Stuff
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.
since y2k is getting more trendy i think and1 should make a combback
Maybe it could happen
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
I rocked the blue and white ti chi shoes for basketball my junior year in high school. They were comfortable and light.

They were taking over
Can't mention Mark Jackson and Escalade without mentioning that they're brothers... obscure basketball fact
Football will never be better than basketball
and1 mixtape vol. 3 with hot sauce hit different back in the day no cap a real gamechanger
Rolando Velasco be like, "QUACK! QUACK!" 😆 🤣 😂
i still got a And 1 muscle shirt lol
That’s fire
@@NachoAverageFinds only play ball in it. it was jn my closet since 2002.. older than some of these Gen Z wimps
I remember being at my brothers friend's house watching the And 1 VHS tapes.
7 yrs! I did not realize basketballs inception was that friggin fast.
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.
great video, the audio sounds awful though. Change your mic maybe?
Noted! Will work on that
AND 1 is making a come back. Support them 👍🏽
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‼️
Thanks for the kind words Martin! Appreciate it dude
Here in France,And one was also during 2000 almost bigger than Nike in Basketball shoes 😊
That was crazy a that Time !!!
Honestly I feel like those trash talk shirts should make a comeback.
And1 streetball was so fun to watch back in the day with my main man hot sauce!
The designs were really good and they are really affordable.
The quality of these shoes was ahead of its time, surpassing that of Nike, Adidas, and Reebok. These major brands offered shoes with excellent adhesive properties, ensuring they lasted for many years. You could even wash your shoes, and the soles wouldn't detach for years.

While their shoes maintain good overall performance and technology, the adhesive used in recent models doesn't endure as long as the sturdy construction they were known for in the 1990s and early 2000s.
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 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!!
Nice job
I remembered i had those red & white sides like vince carter in 2003,I use to wear them with my tommy Hilfiger fit
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!
Its crazy when you realize that 3 on 3 basketball is today an Olympic Sport
You made such entertaining and in depth videos about so many sneakers with big cultural impact but what about air max 90’s? In my opinion the air max line is one of the most recognizable shoe lines still relevant today and i would love to see you continue the air max series 🫶
Will do an hour long video on the entire air max line soon
Tai chi's were a great on court shoe above all else, that's what makes them legendary.
Kids EVERYTHING he said in this was facts! I lived this and those times was amazing & will NEVER ve duplicated! And it was mixtapes and shht,a WHOLE vibe! surrounding it..Damn i miss that ish yo!!!
