The AND1 Empire 2.0 Mids - Flash PE (performance)

[Sole Spotlight – 9.30.13] – The AND1 Empire 2.0 Mids - Flash PE (performance)

Inks and Images: FLASH aka g_sk1lls 

Hey AND Juans, just wanted to share some images of the AND1 Empire 2.0 Mids Flash PE (player edition / player exclusive).  This pair will not be released commercially, and stands as likely one of the very few PEs made for a Filipino baller (regardless if amateur or professional basketball player).

One to rock and one to stock.

This AND1 PE is in size 9.5’s, and prominently showcases the colors of the Philippine flag (dominant white with blue and red, with a few touches of yellow especially the laces).  More than that, it also has the text “FLASH” on the tongue, plus the Flash GA8 logo on the heel section.  Designed with the help of the AND1 USA team (shoutouts to Rob Purvy, AJ Vander Woude, Jordan Bradley, Becky & David), this pair has these standard AND1 Empire 2.0 Mid features (more pics below):

• Stitch-less, no-sew construction for comfort
• Asymmetrical toe increases support
• Mesh panels reduce weight and increase ventilation
• Full-length airbag reduces impact

From concept to production.

"FLASH" text on shoe tongue.

The heel section displays the GA8 logo (G.A. initials + jersey number).

Gameplay-wise, this pair holds its own quite well.  Despite being lightweight, it does not sacrifice support, and its traction is consistent with that of the original Empire 1.0 Mids, Guardian Mids, and Entourage Mids.  That means regardless of surface, the Empire 2.0 Mids is able to provide superior traction, allowing guards and wing players to shift directions at will and being able to stop on a dime.

The Empire 1.0 Mids (Japan Edition, released locally) and 

the Empire 2.0 Mids Flash PE (Pilipinas CW) - both share the same outsole.

The Empire 2.0 Mids perform extremely well, regardless of court surface.
