Available ONLY in Japan as an exclusive (limited to 60 pairs worldwide), the Christmas colorway (red/green) of the And1  Empire Mids will go on sale today – December 20, 2011. This will be sold via three stores, namely: AND1 FUKUOKA (more info here: http://and1.jp/fukuoka/about.html), GALLARY2 SHIBUYA, and SLAM TAMAKAWA-GAKUEN.

Check out my November article about the Empire Mid in Christmas colors by clicking HERE. According to Joe Kawai of And1 Japan, only one pair/person is allowed, and these exclusive joints are going to be sold for US $ 185 or JPN YEN 14,800 (roughly Php 7500 - 8000). He adds, “it’s basically the same price as with other colorways of the Empire Mid.”

Some pairs will also be up for auction via the And1 Japan online store/website (www.and1.jp) between 8AM of December 22 – 12MN of December 26. Part of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to devastated areas in Japan. Now if you ask me, that sure is a very noble way of spreading good cheer thru the holidays. Try to bid on a pair and upon winning it, you are able to help out the disaster-stricken citizens of Japan thru your purchase.
