Recently visited a SM Department Store shoe outlet (SM Manila to be exact) last weekend and was surprised to see a different colorway of the recently released Fortune Mid (1st two drops were white/white and black/white). This new colorway is navy blue with white sole, and in my honest opinion..it looks a whole lot better than its two other versions. Check out the images below.

Retail price is still at Php 4225 per pair, and do check my write-up last week for more in-depth information about the Fortune Mids (November 16 article, click HERE).

Curiously, the latest colorway was not yet available at the And1/AKT!V store in Glorietta 4 Ayala (Makati) when I visited last night (Tuesday). It would appear that SM got the new stocks before the main outlet/s offered those in retail. That, or the shipping was just delayed. Either way, this new CW of the Fortune Mid looks really good in that navy blue scheme and you guys might want to check a pair out soon.

Strap a pair of the Fortune Mids and feel free to do a shoe review. You can share it with us via email (and1pinas@gmail.com), and we just might be able to feature it here at the And1Ph blogsite. ONE!

The And1 Fortune Mid is now available locally.

Just got news over the weekend that local And1 retail outlets (department stores/athletic shops) have received their stocks of the latest And1 shoe, the Fortune Mid. This silhouette offers comfort and support via its leather and synthetic upper, and a padded mesh heel tab provides easy entry and (ankle) support. Combine that with a compressed EVA midsole to ensure cushioning from impact plus an engineered herringbone tread design to provide increased traction, and you’ve got yourself a wealth of support (get it? “wealth”, “fortune”, uhm…never mind).

Personally, I would recommend this shoe to players who man the small forward position. Its weight is considerably light, and will be a good compliment to wingmen who like a good amount of heel cushioning with decent traction. Since my natural position is that of a point guard, I’d prefer lower cut models (or those incorporating L2G tech, at least), and that somewhat elevated heel design is not really suitable for my taste. Power Forwards/Centers might want to check out this model too, as the cushioned heel is a huge plus for big men who man the paint.

This silhouette currently comes out in two colorways:

- Black/Black/White

- White/White/Black

The Fortune Mid is being sold at Php 4225 per pair. Props to And1/Akt!v G4 store (s/o to my man Joe Hook Up) for the heads up.
