Basketball is more than just a sport to the people of the Philippines, it’s a way of life. And one retailer that’s constantly and outwardly expressing Southeast Asian nation’s love for the sport is TITAN which has been fortunate enough to join forces with the likes of Jordan Brand and Nike on several special projects. This year, the brand is reuniting with the latter for a new Nike LeBron 19 Low “Beyond the Seas” team-up which has just been officially unveiled.This marks the third occasion that the Manila-based has teamed up with the Swoosh for a joint venture, and this time around the inspiration draws from the mythical creature Ultramar. It’s representative of universal love for hoops and the idea that that is shared with plenty across the globe. The kicks are designed with a regal motif as the knitted base layer along with the toe boxes and heel counters are lent a white finish while gilded accents dress up the midsole Swooshes and lion head hang tags. The forefoots of each midsole split between two quotes from the King himself about his affinity towards the Philippines. The right foot states, “The passion for basketball in the Philippines is incredible” in blue font while the left prints out “I look forward to returning to Manila again” in red text.You can expect these hardwood-ready sneakers to release on September 8.
