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. 

Price point as follows :

Men’s

• Master Mid = Php 3,125
• White/Royal/Black
• White/Black/Varsity Red

• Entourage Mid = Php 4,995
• Black/Royal/White

• Backlash Low = Php 3,995
• Blue/Black/Imperial Blue
• Black/Navy Orange/White

• Guardian Mid = Php 5,495 (new colorway, previously released model)
• Orange/Shadow/White

• Orbit Mid = Php 4,595  (new colorways, previously released model)
• Black/Varsity Red/White
• White/Royal/Varsity Red

Kids’

• Master Mid = Php 2,695
• White/Royal/Black
• Black/Black/Silver

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.

Last Saturday (September 15), AKT!V outlets have already received their stocks of new 2012 footwear for the 3^rd and 4^th quarter of the year.  For adults, 3 new styles are now available – the Rocket 3.0 Mid (four different colorways), Guardian Mid, and the Thunder Mid.  There are also kid’s sizes of the Thunder Mid (two colorways) and Rocket 3.0 Mid.

Price point as follows, as shared in our previous blog post (click  HERE) :

Men’s

• Thunder Mid = Php 3,995
• BLACK/ROYAL/SILVER
• Rocket 3.0 Mid = Php 2,395
• WHITE/WHITE/ROYAL
• ASPHALT/ASPHALT/BLACK
• WHITE/WHITE/ BLACK
• BLACK/BLACK
• Guardian Mid = Php 5,495
• CRIMSON/ CRIMSON/BLACK

Kids’

• Thunder Mid = Php 2,295
• GOLD/GOLD TRUE PURPLE
• BLACK/VARSITY RED/BLACK
• Rocket 3.0 Mid = Php 1,995
• WHITE/WHITE/ROYAL

In my honest opinion, the Thunder Mid is a performance shoe that appears to be a combination of the Diamond Mid, Cornering Mid, and Assault Mid.  The Guardian Mid has already been previously featured in Sole Spotlight back in July (click HERE for the blog article) while the Rocket 3.o is definitely a worthy successor to the previous incarnations of Rocket (1.0 and 2.0).  Posted some reference pictures below.

Grooves on the Cornering Mid + AND1 text on the lateral quarter of the Diamond Mid + heel construction & outsole of the Assault Mid = Thunder Mid?

The Rocket 1.0 and Rocket Low, with the Rocket 2.0.

For the young ballers, the one pair that sticks out from the pack is the LA Lakers colorway of the Thunder Mid.  In true purple and gold fashion, this pair will definitely look good paired with a Laker jersey/shorts.  The Rocket 3.0 also comes out in white & blue, and it might be a good choice if the kiddo wants to match his dad who might have also bought the adult version with the same colorway.

Big thanks to Relzbach Ventures/AKT!V partners (s/o to Joe Hook Up of Gola Greenbelt) for the update on these new arrivals including the price point.  New models/colorways are due to arrive later this year, so standby if they do show up in shoe racks soon.  Follow us on Twitter for up-to-the-minute news (@and1ph) on shoe sightings, and please LIKE us on Facebook (facebook.com/and1ph) so that our posts appears on your newsfeeds.  Check out the new models for yourselves, And Juans!
