And1 Tai Chi White/Black
The Professor: ?These were sick to me because when AND1 first came out, I?m talking prior to the tour, the Tai Chi was the shoe you?d buy to get the mixtape on VHS. I just liked hooping in them because they were so light. At the time, AND1 was one of the only companies that were really focusing on making footwear really light for their players. I just thought that was dope, I really liked the look of them, and I fell in love with them early. Honestly, looking back now that I?m older and have a bigger perspective I see what an awesome movement it was. At the time of the tour I was only 18 years old. I was a part of that movement but I didn?t actually realize how big it was. Come to later think of it, it was dope; it was a heavy movement. At one point, 75 to 85% of the league was wearing AND1. Not saying that they were all endorsers, but a lot of people just wanted to get the gear because they were fans of the streetball stuff. Looking back, that was awesome.?
