I just got the word that the greatest shoe AND 1 has ever released is hitting shelves Nov. 11. The company that was once endorsed by former NBA player Latrell Spreewell (before he went a wall) has been in the trenches of the sneaker game since the AND 1 mixtape tour technically died in 2006 with the split of players either playing for Ball For Life or AND 1 (I hope they didn’t think James Jones and Steve Blake could sell sneakers.)

Earv Opong was unbelievable once upon a time. He may have had the fastest handle in NYC and maybe still does. I remember back in like 2005 he used to come and get his workout on at West 4th with us when Future, Speedy, Bodywide and a few other big names used to come down there. Read More »

The 5′11″ NC State commit got wiggles and then some, would be a good pick up for the upcoming Elite 24 on August 22nd at Rucker, don’t you think?
Jay “Boogie” Brantley and Adam Sandler.
Jay “Boogie” Brantley has played D1 college ball, tried out for NBA teams and had a more than successful run with AND 1. But Brantley is trying to be more than just a hardwood or asphalt talent.

Episode: Bouncin’ All Over the World
When I was younger, I loved dribbling on the streets of Upper Manhattan making
