- Who remembers And1? Streetball was finally going mainstream; hoopers in Rucker park went from making zero money to making thousands. In the early 2000s, And1 was literally everywhere. The baggy outfits, the trash talk tees, and the mixtapes, And1 was on top of the world. So what happened? Why did And1 fail? In this video we break it all down!

It’s crazy how and1 went from a brand that was rivaling nike to a Walmart brand
It is wild!
That why I stopped buying Jordans. Just buy the shoes I like 96 Grant Hills, White Reebok. Going the get a pair of E-Wing soon.
@@InsanefactionENJ Everything I want goes on sale. While everyone is buying dunks and AJ1s there's a whole 'nother world.... Pennys, Grant Hills, Questiona etx
@@InsanefactionENJthem 33's
to be fair though, it's the best quality show that Walmart sells 🤷♂️
The videos about the Nike and Adidas shoes are great and all but there’s nothing like hearing a good rise and fall story of a brand, it just has extra spice to it in my opinion.
Glad you think you so dude. More small brand love
The Professor still killin it, cold ass white boy ❄️
He got multi-millions of followers on Instagram.
He also popping on RUclips as well.
He just post videos of him playing Ball.
And he be absolutely killing it still to this day.
I remember My fave growing up was Hot Sauce though.
I even bought the Streetball DVD's.
And can't forgot bout the NBA Streetball videogame.
His channel is dope!
He’s a man, not a boy. Why the racial slur?
Those mixtapes held us hostage in the early 2000’s! Used to sit in foot locker just to watch them
Haha man I was hooked watching them back for this edit
I was in middle school!! You have no idea how obsessed I was 😂
Wild to me that And1 was actually a major brand at one point, because I've only ever known it as a department store brand. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's a bit of a downer to see a brand that was once a fairly big deal end up in that place, reminds me of Airwalk tbh.
if they stayed the course i think theyd do ok. with the amount of new shoe brands nowadays its actually easier for them to stay aflot now.
Its like champion but reversed
Airwalk was big in the 90s for skaters.
Born in 1996, grew up playing during the streetball craze. Knee length And1’s are still the only basketball shorts I will wear hahaha. Great video 👍
Oh yeah I'd imagine they're the most comfortable shorts to play in
I need this to be known that Shawn Kemp was not the "rain man" but in fact he was the "ReignMan". They hit differently
Correct
@NachoAverageFinds bro how you reply before I even finish the video??? Goat energy frfr
Because I appreciate you for real. Thanks for peeping the vids!@@skycapt01
Thank you so much for this video, Bryan! I remember this era of street ball fondly. My brother and I were probably the first kids wearing And 1 clothes back in high school. Those trash talk tees were amazing! I saw that Mitchell & Ness did a collab with And 1 and brought some of the tees back.
Man what kid didn’t have an And1 tee in the closet back then haha they made the best shirts
I had some And1 shoes as a kid back in like 2003 very similar to the thumbnail ones. My family was pretty frugal because money was tight, but they were cheap and I remember they lasted me a long time even as someone who was tough on their shoes.
Tom Austin the guy behind the footwear design team was obsessed with making a good product. Maybe that’s why they lasted so long for you! Thanks for sharing man
Y’all’s videos are fire. You guys are the, “Gods of Sneaker Knowledge” w/top quality production. One of the best channels on RUclips hands-down.
Thanks for saying that Dean!
My bros Bryan and Nacho with great content as always 💯🍻
This one took me back to the early 2000’s and on era, tai chis hold a place in time. Love u guys and your work
Your videos continually exceed expectations. Good work.
Thanks B
Finally ive been asking for this for 2 years lol love ya
Excellent video! God bless you and yours! Praying for you!
Thanks been waiting for this video!
Now this is a great video bro, keep up the work
Appreciate you
We still have And1 in Walmart in Canada and I’m actually wearing And1 shorts right now 😂
Love your videos keep going
I always remember And1 pretty fondly, back in highschool we were all pretty broke, so the shorts, socks, and some of the Jordan knockoffs were pretty popular. The shorts especially, they were cheap and held up good enough for football practice
Isn’t and1 sold in Walmart now? Another great video!!
I believe so. Believe it our not I haven't stepped foot in a wal-mart for years haha
Rebook and AND1 were my dream shoes when I was a kid. All because of Allen Iverson, Hot Sauce, and the Professor
And here I am collecting And1's.
hahah Nothing wrong with it
Anyone Who was ever tight on money know and1 are Fire🔥💯💯
Hi. New subscriber here, in Canada. I really love your channel, YOU MAKE SUPERINTERESTING common craziness of loving sneakers into an art, and push it to the next level. This is awesome!!! Could you please do videos of Adidas Basketball Top Ten, Nike Marty McFly's sneakers and Puma GV Special??? Cheers!
And1 can make a comeback with the right marketing tools and player endorsement. And1 should start its comback by having top NBA players known for their impeccable ball handling skills endorse some newly designed kicks. Kyrie Irving would be a good start.
Thank you so much for the fucking awesome video bro, I really like the video
I miss the days when sports/athletics companies would make proper advertising campaigns. The whole lil story they would put behind a product and the athlete endorsing it.
I know it feels so stale nowadays. Totally agree!
what a time to be a young basketball fan !!! thank you for the memories !
🙏🙏
NBA Jam, SLAM Magazine, Shaq Fu… Man, this was about the time I began to lose interest in Bball and HipHop.
“I Used To Love H.E.R.” I was with Common back then.
I enjoyed the ride up, but everything became commercial and, therefore, homogenized. Road Running is going through this phenomenon now. It’s a good thing Track & Field isn’t as easy to pimp.
Great upload.
✌🏽💙👟
Bryan, I was just about to suggest to you in our FB group a video about And 1! Awesome!

What's up kuya
Great story on the history of AND1. Well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Marty O
Thanks Marty!
Those mix tapes were really popular back then. Even Dave Chappelle made a skit about them on the Chappelle show!
Man who didn’t want the and1 mixtape vhs leaving footlocker you felt like a king lol
Great video. I have the recent high end shoes and they're pretty good. I'd say they still have it in terms of performance and design.
It needs to be revived
They've tried many times
Based on the way, Steph Curry, James Harden, and Nicola jokic play, it’s screaming out for a comeback
Thai chi, Rebel, Asphalt...got them and still use them.
Respect!
Nice video.
Thanks man good to hear from you
I wldnt be mad if these vids was 30 min plus I’m just a old school sneaker head and truly dig the content 🤷🏿♂️
Appreciate that Scoob!
Nostalgia hitting hard rn
I would go on the court and try and mimic those and 1 moves!
Shout out the Escalade and helicopter
I remember and 1 and all the mix tapes. Awesome
Nice job
I loved NBA Jam session and Inside Stuff
The tai chi brings me back yo!!
Iconic pair of And1s man
I tried to join and1 when they had auditions here in cleveland mid 90s ..shit was WILD YO.. you should have seen it,i met Allen inverson that year on that court💯💯💯💯Dope history!
Man that's crazy haha how did the auditions go?
@@NachoAverageFindsnot good, at that moment I realized hot sauce n all them were on another level..lol my ball game wasn't on that kinda level
This Sunday in Coney Island, the and1 open run is back & the return of the mixtape.
and1 created signature models for Sprewell and Garnett in the early 2000s.
the first and1 shoe i was was a black/white Karat Mid. it was very comfortable to wear.
the and1 shoe i regret buying for myself was the Sprewell. it felt heavy. kept it in storage for some years until i completely forgot about it. and it strangely disappeared. don't remember if i gave it to someone.
it's sad to see no nba player wears and1 nowadays.
if there's a particular and1 model i want to have now, it's the Tochillin slip-ons
I’m sick that Full Size Run ending but I’m glad y’all still holding sneaker culture down
I’m positive they’ll start something dope next! Love those dudes
Great video
And1 was a thing of its own
Thanks dude! Hope all is well
@NachoAverageFinds Doing good thanks for asking 😁 Hope your staying cool in this heatwave 🥵
can't wear anything but slides with this heat 😄
Yeah it's wild! Can't wait for winter@@titodenino
Street ball is a really interesting subgenre of basketball! Really cool to learn about it and the history of the And 1 company! Great video as always!
Dude this is crazy! So I'm from South Africa and we had And1 fever we used to watch all the mixtapes (my older bro and i ) and we'd play in our yard everyday we lived and breathed Streetball and And1
I used to own two pairs of AND1s, there was a pair of grey-shaded patchwork slip-ons, that were lightweight but durable. I can't find the model colorway anywhere on the internet, sadly. And then there were a white-blue pair of AND1 Uprise, that became my favorite pair of basketball shoes I've ever owned. They lasted me a looong time through continuous use on different surfaces. Indoor, outdoor, wherever. I've always appreciated AND1's dedication to making an affordable, but durable and well-performing product. I've had two pair of budget Air and Zoom Nikes since, that served me okay but couldn't dethrone the AND1s. Now I have two pairs of Adidas Dame 3 and 8 EXTPLY respectively, and time will tell.
Dayum.. I remember the days I wore And1 when I was in junior high school.. It was great bball shoes I wore in many tournaments at that time
Need to check out the and1 30 yr anniversary Marauder, came out this year. Very nice sneaker and they have rereleased a lot of old sneakers and have a new shirt out
They just did a colab with Mitchell and ness & the open run is Sunday in Coney Island.
The show was so dope. I would spend all summer trying to master those moves. Anytime someone would ball with the AND1 shirts on we knew they could hoop!
I had a pair back in 2004, I should've bought two. These shoes felt like they hugged your feet, miss these gems.
since y2k is getting more trendy i think and1 should make a combback
Maybe it could happen
And1 came out when I was in middle school and loved basketball. And1 was in my AOL username and email , not just becasue of the brand but because and1 was a basketball term. I remember really loving the Tshirts that talked crap on the back and I remember at basketball camp everyone having different ones.
I rocked the blue and white ti chi shoes for basketball my junior year in high school. They were comfortable and light.
4:00 I like how the out of all the clips you could have chosen you picked one where a foul wasn't called when someone yelled "And 1"
Rolando Velasco be like, "QUACK! QUACK!" 😆 🤣 😂
Those classic trash talk tees take me back. I wonder if i can find some.
Check out Mitchell and ness. They just did a colab. Also the mixtape tour is going to be in Coney Island on Sunday.
Kids EVERYTHING he said in this was facts! I lived this and those times was amazing & will NEVER ve duplicated! And it was mixtapes and shht,a WHOLE vibe! surrounding it..Damn i miss that ish yo!!!
The nostalgia hits heavy!
Dang yo this is sad...😢 I remember how HUGE the And1 Streetball scene was as a kid in the early 2000s it was the whole reason why games like NBA Street existed!
I remember those and1 tai chis where always in the NBA live games. this was before EA signed with all the shoe companies but they had them as a generic shoes in the game but everyone knew what they were
2:02 I gotta remember to look into Escalade.
This is pretty dope cuz I was too young to understand the impact at the time. I was born when the company was founded & didn’t fall in love with Basketball until the company was bought out around 06 lol. So it’s pretty crazy how quick things changed in a 10 yrs
I bought the original Tai Chi lows on sale but was a Nike lifer. I was shocked how well the Tai Chis were. I instantly became an And 1 fanboi. Wish they stayed around in original form.
You guys are a fucking college course in athletic history!! I’ll never laugh at the And-1 products at Burlington & Ross ever again!! You guys should do other histories in different sports!! You guys should do some history of soccer/futbol‼️
Thanks for the kind words Martin! Appreciate it dude
The KG and Spree shoes were so dope. And Carter aced that dunk contest in the Tai Chi’s. But Postgame shoes are the true legacy.
Fuck I rememeber watching And1 on ESPN and then hitting the court at night! So many memories of playing ball all over LA during my younger years.
I remember all of this like it was yesterday! I was a huge sneaker kid! I literally got the 1st ever Sneakers, those Blue Steph Marbury's, the exact pair in the video! I still have a school picture where I have them on😂! I was also the only person I knew with them!
I am from Germany and i still have an And 1 Jersey that i bought in 2004 as a teenager
I remember being at my brothers friend's house watching the And 1 VHS tapes.
I must've been sleeping when And 1 released sneakers.
I don't remember them at all.😂
They had a huge impact in the US
@@NachoAverageFinds I'm in Britain. That's probably why I don't remember them.👍
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks bro
I was on the all Marine corps basketball team and we played them in 2014 in Japan. I had no idea they still toured until they told us!!
I remember 05/06 my high school classmate was crazy about the mixtape, follow the dress and style in playing and etc... too bad saw AND1 fall...
My grandfather used to play for the ABA basketball league. I remember seeing his legacy storied in a night stand when I was a child.
Thats incredible
And1 had the best shorts in the beginning.
I had a pair of and1 shoes
Found them well made hard wearing n comfy x
I remember every college hooper I knew in the 90's was rocking And1 gear. The shirts, the shorts, and if they weren't rocking Nikes on their feet, they were rocking And1s. Recently, out of curiosity, I bought a pair of And1s, and for a budget brand, they're still pretty good.
You made such entertaining and in depth videos about so many sneakers with big cultural impact but what about air max 90’s? In my opinion the air max line is one of the most recognizable shoe lines still relevant today and i would love to see you continue the air max series 🫶
Will do an hour long video on the entire air max line soon
Growing up And1 really got my attention. It what got me into playing basketball, i don’t know why but their peak was during 04 to 07 exactly when NBA finals is somewhat boring. No disrespect to Pistons and Spurs but their style is somewhat boring for me as a child. So I turned to and1 instead
They were taking over
7 yrs! I did not realize basketballs inception was that friggin fast.
Another reason they fell off was because some of the star players like Main Event wouldn't come off the bus during the Open Runs on the blacktop. They began to act like they were above everyone else once they started making that arena money. Hot Sauce didn't though, he was humble and down to earth. But one player by the name of Exile exposed the And 1 camp when he was hated off the tour bus because he was on the skill level of Hot Sauce. His team even dropped a mixtape of their own featuring all the top street ballers from the west coast, also Exile shook the hell outta Hot Sauce in that Streetball legends game back in 2003
Just got a pair of And1s and they are pretty nice for the price
I always rocked the clothes
and1 mixtape vol. 3 with hot sauce hit different back in the day no cap a real gamechanger
And1 streetball was so fun to watch back in the day with my main man hot sauce!
Can't mention Mark Jackson and Escalade without mentioning that they're brothers... obscure basketball fact
Man, the days of And 1 and also the Dada's
Skip got a ring in Miami too
my hoop dreams back in 03
Everyones
And1 had so much hype some guy in my neighborhood got the tattoo on his leg 😂
Man feel bad for Kidd😅
haha why
@@NachoAverageFinds How you did him durty by showing GP cross him up lol
And1 started off wanting to complete with Adidas and Nike in the shoe maker NOT with clothes. They shifted to street ware after the first NBA player they sponsored
jacked up his ankle on his first game. That when they targeted the street ballers and to have an edge and gritty appeal they created the iconic tshirts.
great video, the audio sounds awful though. Change your mic maybe?
Noted! Will work on that
Honestly I feel like those trash talk shirts should make a comeback.
Man I STILL want a pair of the red/white Tai Chi's lmao
Tai chi's were a great on court shoe above all else, that's what makes them legendary.
AND 1 is making a come back. Support them 👍🏽
