MANILA, Philippines - This Christmas, give yourself and your loved ones a gift of good health by engaging in sports and fitness activities that will keep you in tiptop shape. And with sports apparel companies turning to top fashion designers to reinvent their lines, you can be fit and fab with basketball, running and casual outfits from Nike, Adidas and Converse. These are not only fashionable, but also designed for comfort and to enhance your athletic performance.

Here, Sports Central shares a guide for sports buffs with a great sense of style.

Hot Hardcourt Looks

Whether you’re training for a big game or just shooting hoops with friends, you’ll want to feel confident with lightweight materials that will keep you on top of the hardcourt action. You’ll also want a great pair of shoes that can protect your joints and help you keep up with basketball’s quick explosive movements.

The Nike Lebron 9 is the first in the signature series to combine Flywire technology and Hyperfuse construction. It also has new support and cushioning features so you can cut sharper, accelerate quicker, and control the court like never before. Like Lebron James, keep on top of your game with specially designed basketball shirts and shorts.

Born to run... And be fashionable

Run the distance in a good pair of shoes and lightweight apparel to keep you on your feet and on the road. When choosing a pair of running shoes, keep ventilation, cushioning, and comfort in mind. Leading sports brands have also incorporated technology. Adidas has ClimaCool, while Nike has Dri-Fit to keep you dry and for a better running performance.

Street Style Sporty Fashion

Ever since sports outfits spread from the gyms to the streets in the late 1980s, they have become a part of mainstream fashion. And today, designs are more contemporary and trendier than ever. Mix these jackets, tees and shorts with your regular wardrobe; and then complete your look with cool shoes and bags.
