Posted earlier today in the And1 Fukuoka webpage were images of upcoming And1 footwear for Fall 2012 (Q3 and Q4 of this year).  I’ve uploaded some screenshots of that news update and have mirrored the images for everyone’s review.

According to the article in their site, there are a lot of NEW models plus “rich in color variation” (obviously pertaining to shoe colorways).  However, the name of the upcoming silhouettes were not included, since it’s still too early to announce.

  

Speaking of sneak previews, you can check out my October 2011 article about the 2012 product presentation and sneak preview during the And1 Sales Conference last year by clicking HERE.

Available ONLY in Japan as an exclusive (limited to 60 pairs worldwide), the Christmas colorway (red/green) of the And1  Empire Mids will go on sale today – December 20, 2011. This will be sold via three stores, namely: AND1 FUKUOKA (more info here: http://and1.jp/fukuoka/about.html), GALLARY2 SHIBUYA, and SLAM TAMAKAWA-GAKUEN.

Check out my November article about the Empire Mid in Christmas colors by clicking HERE. According to Joe Kawai of And1 Japan, only one pair/person is allowed, and these exclusive joints are going to be sold for US $ 185 or JPN YEN 14,800 (roughly Php 7500 - 8000). He adds, “it’s basically the same price as with other colorways of the Empire Mid.”

Some pairs will also be up for auction via the And1 Japan online store/website (www.and1.jp) between 8AM of December 22 – 12MN of December 26. Part of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to devastated areas in Japan. Now if you ask me, that sure is a very noble way of spreading good cheer thru the holidays. Try to bid on a pair and upon winning it, you are able to help out the disaster-stricken citizens of Japan thru your purchase.

Just in case you need more convincing about the performance and look of the And1 Empire Mids, you can check out Sandy Dover’s shoe review (click HERE for the And1 Ph article).
