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)
