While his game might not feature the balance that the Tai Chi’s original design language so stresses — the dude is a scorer — this smooth colorway of the brand’s most notable model, made just for Warriors combo-guard Monta Ellis, is fittingly under the radar.
In a mostly white base upper with a navy nubuck medial rand and navy accents throughout, the shoe, much like Monta, can go unnoticed at times while getting the job done. He dropped 42 on the Spurs and 37 on the Mavs most recently, with just a handful of teammates to help out. With just a subtle ‘ME8′ exclusive badging along the heel, this Tai Chi goes right alongside all of Monta’s kicks by being both clean and simple.

finally a Monta’s Tai Chi PE
pretty nice.
shoulda used another font for the sig tho…
nothing special, needs more PE details
They look fierce, I’m really feeling the understated details.
God, these bring back memories!
I would have put more grey on the side to bring out the colors more.
It looks kind of whatever. It should be like black and orange or somethin’.
