This just in! Just got an email from And1 that Japan will be releasing an exclusive Christmas colorway of the And1  Empire Mids this week, and it will be so limited, there will only be 60 pairs available!

Quick background, Monta Ellis rocked a Christmas version of the ME8 Sovereign Mids (when the Golden State Warriors played the final game on Christmas day – a 109-102 win at home over the visiting Portland Trailblazers). During last year’s game, Monta dropped 39 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and a block (stats courtesy of ESPN – click HERE for more).

As And1 Executive Director Rob Purvy puts it, this is “..an already proven and very critical/effective way to spread the brand message.”

I will get more info about the retail price and ordering details (I’m pretty much assuming some of these would make it to the And1 Japan online shop – click HERE, or you just might have to visit the And1 Fukuoka store – find them HERE or follow them on Twitter @and1fukuoka). For now, check out the images below for that exclusive pair.

Dang I wish I could be in Japan right now. Those pairs are sooo sick, and I want to cop a pair ASAP!
