Red Empire.
Japan may no longer be an empire, but it’ll be the only regional location on the face of the Earth this holiday season to find a pair of the “Christmas” styled AND1 ME8 Empire.
Built for Monta Ellis, decked out in festive red, white and green, and positioned for a Christmas unwrapping on NBA hardwood before the Lockout, AND1 has created a grand total of 60 pairs in this limited edition and individually numbered signature shoe. While you may not be lucky enough to find this particular model under your tree at the end of December, you can buy the ME8 Empire Mid now in a slew of other colors and stuff your stockings early.
