Hey AND Juans,
I was doing the regular eBay search this past week and I stumbled upon this
very interesting auction – an unreleased AND1 Empire Mid Monta Ellis PE (player
edition / player exclusive). Posted by
eBay user ekhchan86, the description is as follows:
“You are
bidding on a RARE and 100% AUTHENTIC pair of AND 1 ME8 EMPIRE MONTA ELLIS
PLAYER SAMPLES IN SIZE 13!! These were
never released to the general public and made exclusively for MONTA while with
the GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS!
They have
his logo of ME8. These are in DEADSTOCK CONDITION and have NEVER BEEN WORN!!
These shoes have never graced the cement and are in perfect condition. The
colorway is quite unique and was the HOME colorway for the WARRIORS. You will
not find another pair of these anytime soon!
These are very rare and hard to come by.”
As the description says, it is an AND1 PE in
size 13’s, and I would fairly assume that is the same size as Monta’s. What’s also interesting to note is that it
bears the logo of the former AND1 endorser in the heel section, something that wasn’t even
available in his previous shoe models (Wonder Mid, Disciple Mid, ME8 Mid, &
the Sovereign Mid, to name a few).

actual eBay auction.
The ME8 logo.
Looks legit, size 13's.
It’s currently listed at a starting bid of $ 109.99,
with a Buy Now price of $ 129.99, or roughly Php 5500-6000 (you’ll have to add
about $23 for the shipping). That’s
pretty reasonable, considering the rarity of this pair.
