The Tai Chi Returns to Foot Locker 11/12
There was a point in time when the Tai Chi Mid could be seen in nearly every NBA game. Popularity that stemmed from a legendary performance in the 2000 NBA Dunk Contest combined with its classic yin/yang design made the Tai Chi the ultimate expression of hoop duality – where street style and professional ball came together.
It’s now 10 years later, and the Tai Chi is back. After considering a complete design overhaul, And1 decided to bring back the clean lines of the original. It’s got a couple of performance enhancements, but otherwise, the 2009 Tai Chi is the same as it ever was – an And1 icon.
Enhancements include
-a compression-molded EVA midsole that envelops the foot, cushioning it from impact
-an Anodized TPU Shank for torsional flexibilty
-herringbone traction pads for stronger grip on the hardwood while the high-abrasion rubber still holds up on the blacktop (the original had high-abrasion outsole with rubber nodules for traction)

Jordan XX3 Update
For the last few weeks, all the chatter has been about the blk/red Jordan XX3 hitting stores in just five days, 23 pairs in 23 locations across the country, and 4 of those spots belong to Foot Locker. A few images have been circulating, but none as fresh as the ones below. Don’t forget to check the gallery for additional images as well…
Jordan 2.5 – Ray Allen
We’ve already seen several colorways of the Jordan 2.5, but here’s one dedicated to Ray Allen. Available 12/27, you can pick up a pair at any of the three House of Hoops locations (NY, CHI, or LA). Although the 2.5 isn’t a retro, one would say it’s a fusion of the Jordan II and III. The overall structure of the 2.5 is comparable to the Jordan II, while you’ll notice similar features taken from the Jordan III. One prominent feature is the elephant print, with its fame originating from the retro III. Additional Jordan III inspired features include the air bubble in the sole, lace holders, rubber on the upper heel, and location of the elephant print. You’ll also find patent reptile print on the toe box, running above the mid sole, along the side of the shoe. Check out more store shots below.
