And1 Tai Chi Shoe History...
Destined to forever be remembered as the shoe from perhaps the greatest performance in NBA Slam Dunk Contest history, the AND1 Tai Chi is set to make its return. This model from the 1999-2000 season represents the pinnacle of success for a brand who started with trash talking tees and grew to represent the streetball sensation that would grip the basketball world in the early 2000s. Vince Carter soaring in the Tai Chi was perfectly timed as one of AND1’s most aesthetically pleasing designs, and now we have some historical perspective with which to appreciate one of the few upstart brands who made an impact during that era. Three colorways make up the first delivery as you’ll see in more photos below and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for US release info.
The Tai Chi, from the upstart brand AND1, was suddenly vaulted onto the league’s largest platform in an instant, forever associated with one of the most iconic moments in the NBA’s All-Star Weekend history:
Vince Carter’s Dunk Contest.
Most years, the league’s annual Dunk Contest is a product placement dream featuring planned out, special edition footwear in custom colorways for some of the game’s highest flyers. What took place on that Saturday night in Oakland over seventeen years ago won’t ever be replicated again.
As retold now by then-VP of Footwear Ryan Drew in an exclusive interview with Nice Kicks, the monumental marketing success of Vince Carter’s Dunk Contest in the AND1 Tai Chi was pure, and completely unexpected, luck.
