First Impression: AND1 Tai Chi

The AND1 Tai Chi is back and they will get tested on-court. If you wanted my initial first impression of the shoe then take a look at the video below. If you wanted to bypass their upcoming performance review and grab a pair now then you can at AND1USA.com.

  1. Original traction pattern was some small ball-shaped things.
    I have always loved these shoes, one of my personal favorites.
    They perform really well on court in my opinion, even in today’s standard.

      1. @Joey I’m not hatin I’m literally asking NW if it’s at Walmart. And I’m jus informing him that he paid $130 for the tai chi’s

    1. Equivilant to what you just said:

      Someone: I just got galaxy foams for $300.

      Friend: I saw the astoids at footlocker for $250 so you got ripped off.

  2. Hey I just went on the and1 website and saw the Japanese empire mid. Is it possible if you could do a review on them please?

    1. It will be funny to see Nightwing don the Ninja Turtle outfit (or the character in his avatar) vs Professor in a spiderman outfit 😆

  3. They have theTai Chi’ at Wharehouse Shoe Sale for $125. I can cosign that these are 1/2 size small.

  4. My all time favorite, it fits my feet perfectly. Front to back transition is so fluent that feel a bit springy. Additional crash pad is definitely a nice update coz when the midsole flat out, it kind of lack of cushion in forefoot.

  5. We all rocked these back in the day because of vinsanity and spree, mostly because of spree really, who was everybody’s favorite growing up for whatever reason…I don’t remember liking them all that much to be honest, can’t exactly remember what they play like, even…I do remember the suede bleeding like hell when exposed to moisture, though, you’d have the dye staining the white parts of the shoe

    1. ^^^ the godfather of what NW and I do. Absolutely the reason I started writing these years ago. Been looking for that archive.

  6. I literally just saw these shoes at walmart…not just any and 1…this pair,the tai chi. 30 bucks ya’ll….and on a side note. Nightwing, being a kid from the 90’s (like myself) you should know that Batman the animated series was THE BEST cartoon EVER….like EEEEVVVVVEEEEER…I still watch that show. Got the complete boxset and everything. ANd yes batman is the best superhero of them all in my opinion.EVEN better than dick grayson…sory NW….bats is a badass.

  8. Tai Chis aren’t at Walmart. Folks should stophating and understand that the line at Walmart is specifically for Walmart. No shoes that appear on an NBA court are at Walmart.

  9. AND1 owes Lance Stephenson a crapload of money. I hadn’t seen even one pair of AND1 shoes on an NBA court in about a decade before he started rocking them. In fact, I actually thought they went out of business.
