2000 – Vince Carter
Shoe: And 1 Tai Chi White/Red
Vince Carter almost single-handedly put And 1 on the map. Though the brand was previously notable for its basketball-centric apparel, the Tai Chi was “that sneaker,” when VC wore it in one of the most memorable dunk contests ever. He’d later switch to Nike, but Vince put on an amazing show in this pair of white and red shoes. Whether it was the effortless between-the-legs dunk, or the extremely impressive 360 windmill that you remember most, it will forever be near-impossible to live up to Vince’s performance in 2000.
