Did you know almost every district in the country has at least one
basketball court? Everyone knows how crazy Filipinos are for basketball.
It’s been the most played and celebrated sport in the country for as long
as anyone can remember.
Level up the power of handsome as your home court advantage!
Basketball is so popular in the country that merchandise for the sport has
become a staple piece in Philippine fashion for men and women alike. Nike
once reported that we’re its third-largest market for basketball
merchandise, just after China and the United States.
Fans sport their handsome sneakers when going to malls, attending mass,
meeting friends, and even going to school and work. It’s no secret
that the hardcourt culture has ingrained itself into the hearts of most
Filipinos, so here are some of the slickest hardcourt pairs you can wear
to bump up your style and your game!
From Nike
Kevin Durant’s eighth signature sneaker, the
Nike KD 8, boasts innovative cushioning and flexible
support. Its Flywire cables are not just flashy, they’re also
designed to make the shoes more comfortable by loosening and tightening
based on the wearer’s movement. Its simple aerodynamic design is
safe for casual sneaker fans and dedicated basketball lovers. They go well
with both shorts and long pants, too!
From
Under Armour
The Under Armor Curry Flow 8’s unisex design
appeals to a wider variety of fans. Safe to wear with jeans, skirt,
jeggings, khakis, or even jogger pants, the sneaker is casual and cool at
the same time. It has a high heel tab, which dips at the collar, giving
more freedom to the ankle joints. The Flow 8 is completely rubberless,
making it lighter to wear!
From
New Balance
Kawhi Leonard’s first sneaker outing sports a polygonal design
unique to the New Balance Kawhi. It has a wide variety of
striking, colorful designs, perfect for more fashion-forward fans. Like
how Leonard dictates the game, New Balance pioneered an outsole shank
design for this shoe, providing better rigidity and support on and off the
court.

Adidas
“Style and substance” is a short phrase that can be easily
used to describe Damian Lillard’s fifth signature sneaker, the
Adidas Dame 5. In keeping with the Portland shooting
guard’s signature step-back shots, the shoe’s high-cut body is
topped with a textile collar. Built for flexibility and comfort, it looks
great even when worn off the court with casual pants.
From
Nike News
Converse was the first to enter the basketball shoe business; and, despite
being acquired by Nike in 2003, the Boston-based shoe manufacturer
hasn’t lost its creative touch. One of their fanciest outings is the
Converse G4 Hyper Swarm, signed to Golden State superstar
Draymond Green. The name references Green’s swarming defensive play,
and its gold color scheme is a nod to his team’s signature color.
Simple, versatile, and comfortable, this shoe is a safe bet in and out of
the court.
You’re not wrong if you mistake the
Adidas Trae Young I—Trae Young’s first
signature sneakers—for an avant-garde runway piece. The shoes have a
segmented sole unit, with ridges sticking out of the mid-sole that look
good with either high socks, mid socks, or even foot socks.
