AND1

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is the home of AND1. Started as a graduate school project by three students, the brand’s bold and audacious slogans like "Pass. Save Yourself The Embarrassment.” became synonymous with street basketball. In the mid-90s and early-2000s, the brand marketed itself with AND1 Mix Tapes that were given out with any purchase. Co-signs by Stephon Marbury and Vince Carter, who won the 2000 Slam Dunk contest, further boosted the brand profile.  Today, AND1’s most recognizable products include the Tai Chi, Rise, Tochillin and Chosen One.
