Lance Stephenson isn’t the typical player, so it is no wonder that his sneaker endorsement is thru another unconventional basketball in And1 Basketball. The sneaker he has been wearing in the NBA Playoffs with the Indiana Pacers is the AND1 Empire 2.0 which became a literal as this pair looks to have had yellow paint from a paintbrush flung on it.
In 2012 it seemed as if more sneakers than ever had a speckled midsole, and it wasn’t too long ago that a brand called Miskeen put a brand behind having clothes with paint splattered on it. Either way this looks better than if this was a design that came painted on from the factory, and that is because this wasn’t made to look like there was paint that splashed in sneakers, paint actually was so every line is where it is suppose to be.
If you were on the hunt for a pair of the AND1 Empire 2.0 you could pick up a pair for exactly $42.49 from the Sears webstore here in several different colorways and paint yourself a pair too!
