The sporting life
MANILA, Philippines - Sports are the tonic of a nation.
No matter how toxic the office situation gets, there is nothing like taking up your sporting gear on a weekend, and then heading over to the gym or the field to do what your heroes do. For the spirit of teamwork, for the sheer pleasure of working out with friends, or simply for the love of movement. But the key, as always, is looking good in the process.
Here is a guide to sports from Sports Central’s Paolo Cruz and Dorothy Orial of the Ateneo Track and Field Varsity team.
Running. You’ll run the distance with Adidas running performance apparel and shoes with cutting-edge technologies like ClimaCool which manages sweat and body heat of a runner for better running performance and ForMotion technology, a 3D-engineered pattern of fabric to provide better fit and greater comfort.
Basketball. Be on top of the game with super-lightweight materials from the Nike Kobe Bryant collection. It has Nike’s Dri-FIT technology that will help you stay dry and comfortable. Nike’s Zoom Kobe VII System basketball shoes, on the other hand, has Attack Fast Insert for high-velocity play and Flywire technology for an ultra-lightweight support and comfort.
Tennis. Adidas barricade shirts and skorts are designed for ultimate on-court comfort. You’ll also float on court with the latest Adidas Adizero feather shoes.
Football. Play (and look) like a soccer star with Nike’s FFF apparel. You’ll also start scoring goals with Nike T90 Soccer Cleat shoes, which is designed for the competitive player looking for the best in fit, stability, traction, ball control, and shooting accuracy.
