[Shoe News – 3.19.12] – Additional AND1 shoe models for 2012 Q1/Q2 now locally available!

Got word last Friday (March 16) that the AKT!V outlet in Glorietta 4 already received their stocks of additional 2012 footwear for the 1^st and 2^nd quarter of the year.  Three different colorways of a new shoe model are now available locally, the highly anticipated Elev8 Mid; plus a new colorway of the previously released Straight Cash Mid.

Personally, it appears that the Elev8 Mid gives out the Hyperfuse/Crazy Light vibe (from the swoosh and the three stripes, respectively) but has a different “streetball” air about it, which is distinguishably And1.  Initially available in three colorways (green/white,   white/black, and white/navy), a pair retails for Php 4995.

The new colorway of the Straight Cash Mid (grey/black) is now also ready for purchase at Php 3995 a pair.  Instead of leather/rubber finish, it has a suede feel which might need some care when using outdoors.

Please also do check out And1 Ph’s previous blog article about the initial shoe drops for 2012 last February 5 (click HERE to read the article).  It features the Total Assist Mid & Ultra Lyte Low for Men’s (adult size) and the Intensity Mid and Assault Mid in Kid’s sizes.

Thanks to Relzbach/AKT!V partners (S/O to Joe Hook Up of AKT!V Glorietta) for the update on these new arrivals including the price points.  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 appear on your newsfeeds.  Check out the new models for yourselves, And Juans!

Just a couple of days ago, I posted an article about And1 Japan’s new stocks of 2012 footwear (initially shared online via the And1 Fukuoka website) – please click HERE to read more about it.  With new colorways of the Empire Mids, plus a couple of new models (Reign Mid and Fort Mid), their collection surely got us amped about the upcoming products (since local releases have only yielded the Ultra Lyte Low and the Total Assist Mid) – blog article about the local releases can be read HERE.

But now, thanks to our And1 Taiwan partners (shoutouts to Vivi!), we’ve got more shoes to check out and new colorways to peep.  I’ve mirrored the images that And1 Taiwan has posted via their Facebook fanpage below and have included the price points for everyone’s reference:

• Assault Mid = (New Taiwan $) NT 1980 or roughly Php 2,835.20
• Cre8 Mid = (New Taiwan $) NT 2680 or roughly Php 3,837.54
• Elev8 Mid = (New Taiwan $) NT 2860 or roughly Php 4,095.29
• Empire Mid = (New Taiwan $) NT 3480 or roughly Php 4,983.08
• Fort Mid = (New Taiwan $) NT 2980 or roughly Php 4,267.12
• Reign Mid = (New Taiwan $) NT 2680 or roughly Php 3,837.54
• Release Mid = (New Taiwan $) NT 1980 or roughly Php 2,835.20
• Rocket 2.0 Mid = (New Taiwan $) NT 1860 or roughly Php 2,663.37
• Sabotage Mid = (New Taiwan $) NT 2680 or roughly Php 3,837.54
• Slasher Low = (New Taiwan $) NT 1860 or roughly Php 2,663.37
• Straight Cash Mid = (New Taiwan $) NT 2380 or roughly Php 3,407.97
• Total Assist Mid = (New Taiwan $) NT 2100 or roughly Php 3,007.03

Empire Mids

- Assault Mids (left) and Elev8 Mids (right).

- Fort Mids (left) and Reign Mids (right).

- Sabotage Mids (left) and Slasher Lows (right).

- Straight Cash Mids (left) and Total Assist Mids (right).

Just as I have noted in the And1 Japan 2012 article, the price range for the Reign Mids would retail for around Php 3500-4000, and the Fort Mids will fall under the Php 4500-5000 price range.  Moreover, the new models like the Cre8 Mid could be reasonably priced if it gets sold locally between Php 3500-4000, as with the never-released locally Sabotage Mids, which I’m assuming could be bought for the same price range too.  

Again, all of my estimates are just that…estimates.  As a comparison, I’ve listed below the current SRPs of shoe models that are available in And1 outlets and department stores locally:

• Release Mid – Php 3295
• Rocket 2.0 Mid – Php 1995
• Straight Cash – Php 3995
• Total Assist – Php 3495
