words by Nick DePaula
After sticking with the AND1 Onslaught and Wonder all season long, speedy Golden State Warriors guard Monta Ellis will start next season out in the Mosaic, seen here in his home uniform colors. Just like his two previous shoes, the Mosaic features a full-length TPU spring plate that sits lower to the ground and also works to propel Monta in the open-court.
While AND1 is certainly undergoing a shift in its overall brand structure and positioning, look for Ellis (along with Rafer Alston) to remain their main man in the NBA. Inspired by shapes like polygons and triangles, the Mosaic’s midfoot support panel features geometric artwork. The Mosaic will be releasing later this fall as the season begins, and while there’s no word yet on which retailers will carry the shoe, you can most likely find them on Zappos.com or And1.com.

Absolutely LOVE this joint. If they perform, I could see myself grabbing several pairs….
But Nick, could you please show us some other angles?
Thanks-
