Point 3 Shorts: For the Passionate Basketball Fan

One of the greatest ironies in sports is that as summer sets in across America and pick up basketball games become more prevalent, the NBA season comes to an end. Basketball die hards can no longer watch the nightly action across the league and then try to immediately emulate their favorite stars on the court the next day.

Fortunately, basketball apparel company Point 3 is helping NBA junkies get over this yearly period of mourning with their World’s Best Basketball Shorts. This line of shorts features two new design styles that incorporate cutting edge DRYV Moisture Control technology. What does DRYV mean exactly? Just think of it as having two patches of towel-like fabric sewn in at the hip. That means when you’re playing point guard at your local courts on a hot July afternoon and your palms start to sweat, you can easily dry them off right on your shorts, instead of letting your teammates down by having the ball slip away.

If having part of a towel in your shorts sounds too heavy, it’s not. World’s Best Shorts are made with lightweight 4-way stretch body fabric and incorporate ventilated heat zones along the leg where you sweat the most. The shorts come in two designs, the DRYV LT, which are slightly heavier and made with bonded seams, and the DRYV BALLER, which are lighter and made with contour body fit. Point 3’s latest creations have been battle tested at The Pit in West Philadelphia, one of the toughest streetball courts in America, and have proven to be the future of hoop wear.

Instead of getting depressed now that NBA season is coming to an end, get yourself a pair of the World’s Best Basketball Shorts, find the nearest blacktop and practice that floater you picked up watching League Pass all season.

Working with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team, Adidas launched the Silver Arrow pack, a collection of fanwear inspired by the Mercedes-Benz W196 race car. Current Mercedes F1 drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli posed with items from the Silver Arrow collection along with professional models.
Why celebrate the W196?

The W196 wasn't the first Silver Arrow. The first Mercedes to be called a Silver Arrow was the Mercedes W25, which debuted in 1934. However, driver Juan Fangio won the 1954 and 1955 F1 World Championships with the W196, which was among the several models referred to by the group name. The Adidas Silver Arrow collection celebrates the 70th anniversary of the W196's first F1 Championship season.

When it comes to a trail sneaker, you’ll want to ensure it is both functional and stylish. While a chic sneaker comes in handy for everyday use, a trail-ready sneaker should be able to keep you comfortable on any adventure. While Salomon knows how to fuse both successfully, their latest collaboration with South Korean designer J EONGL I adds another level of style and practicality to it. Inspired by the passage of time, this new collaboration comes in two colorways that perfectly capture the inspiration of eroded cliffs and fossils.
