Since last week, AKT!V outlets have already received their stocks of the latest AND1 footwear for the 1^st and 2^nd quarter of 2013.  For adults, three (3) new styles are now out – the Master Mid (two colorways), Entourage Mid, and the Backlash Low (two colorways).  The previously released Guardian Mid comes out with another colorway, as well as the Orbit Mid (two more versions).  For kids, two colorways of the Master Mid are now also available.

In my honest opinion, the Entourage Mid is the star of this latest drop.  A performance shoe that combines comfort and weight reduction, this latest AND1 model has the Hybrid Low-Sew tech and internal mesh to help cool the feet.  Its unique L2G philosophy improves reflex, quickens reaction, and amplifies performance while herringbone tread outsole provides solid grip.  The Entourage Mid has already been previously featured in Shoe News back in October 2012 (click HERE for the blog article), with the upcoming 5 Elements Pack.

The Backlash Low on the other hand seems to be another postgame shoe that offers a breathable seamless upper design and mesh tongue that increase coolness, while molded collar and asymmetrical toe design add comfort and support.  Don’t sleep on the Master Mid though – its synthetic leather upper combined with quarter molding and mesh tongue offers lightweight support and breathability.  It also offers high quality sockliner and airbag with internal web design in the heel to add increased comfort, support, and shock absorption while multi-directional herringbone tread outsole enables 360° movement.

Backlash Low's two colorways.

For the young ballers, the one pair that sticks out is the all-black colorway of the Master Mid.  Just in time for shopping in preparation for the new school year, this pair will look with any pair of PE shorts or jogging pants.  Bonus points for the Master Mid as it also comes out in white/royal blue/black – a perfect choice for the young baller who wants to match his dad’s Master Mid in the same colorway.
