Greetings, AND Juans!  One year and 100 blog articles ago, AND1 Philippines went online on this blogspot space (Flash: we posted our 1^st Facebook fanpage and Twitter update on August 5, 2011).  Thanks to all of your support, we have steadily grown to more than 1,300 Facebook fans, close to 100 Twitter followers and this blogsite has now reached 40K views!  Check out our very 1^st blogpost by clicking HERE. 

Looking back at the last 12 months, we’ve covered these key updates:

Oct 17, 2011     - And1 2012 footwear and product presentation (read: Sneak Previews!)

We’ve also managed to feature famous streetballers  such as Spyda, Helicopter, The Painted Face, Mr. Hangtime (Germany) and Scalia (Malaysia), including an exclusive coverage of the Germany’s Finest 2012 Philippine Tour headlined by Paul Gudde (founder), Lars Meyer, and Fabian Greiser among others.

The Painted Face aka Hollywizzle, Spyda, Helicopter, Mr. Hangtime, 

and Germany's Finest all got featured on AND1 Ph.

    

Aside from that, we were able to post shoe news both local and foreign, including spotlights and performance reviews on different models that are available locally, as well as those that are not easily accessible in local retail.  We acknowledge Relzbach Ventures Inc (shoutouts to Sir Bob and Dickie Bachmann and their tireless Sales and Marketing team) for the updates on local shoe drops thus making it easier for all of us AND1 Juans to track which pair/s to get in the AKT!V outlets.

Lastly, we’ve forged international ties with the AND1 brand teams and distributors from the USA (President Rob Purvy, big ups to Rod Keller, AJ Vanderwoude, Becky Cheng, & Frank Creative’s David Karstad, among others) Germany (s/o Laurent and Max), Taiwan (s/o Vivi), Africa (s/o Bibi & team), Malaysia (s/o Scalia), and Japan (s/o Joe)  as well as providing write ups for AND1-related events in Australia, Brazil, Chile, France, & Venezuela – truly imbibing the brand campaign “No Borders, No Boundaries.  All Ball.”

Shoutouts to some of our frequent collaborators:

USA, Germany, Taiwan, Malaysia & Japan.

Right now, we’re just excited for what the future would bring, especially with AND1’s 20^th anniversary coming up this 2013, new footwear, apparel and gear to be released, and a lot more surprises to come.
