And1 is celebrating the anniversary of last years And 1 Rise Mid, the hottest basketball shoe of 2003, with the Uprise. Already being worn by the Puerto Rican National Team, as well as the Olympic team from Serbia & Montenegro, the Uprise will be worn by many elite high schools, universities (including the University of Pennsylvania and University of the Pacific), as well as NBA stars Ricky Davis, Jason Williams, Bobby Jackson, Carlos Arroyo (also of the Puerto Rican National Team) and Rafer "Skip To My Lou" Alston. Just like its predecessor the Rise, the Uprise is for true ballers only! Please don't sleep on these.get yours now!

HoopsVibe review:

The Uprise is a great addition to the And1 products line. These shoes are a smart evolution of the And1 Quest which happens to be to date the favorite pair of And1 sneakers I have ever played with. The Quest (see picture below) was one of the first pair And1 made with an apparent air cushion.  

Well the Uprise benefit from a similar (and improved) technology but also has a nicer and fresher look which could be compared to the Rise - And1's last summers success.

 

Who says And1 is only good at producing streetball sneakers designed for the outdoor game? Try the Uprise indoor and tell me if you believe this pair is not competitive when playing indoor.

They are lighter than most of the previous And1 sneakers but still hold your ankle. The advantage of the Uprise is that it could be wear no matter what position you play at. This is not the case of a Nike Huarache type of sneaker…
