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.

Urwerk has just re-defined the conventional design with its latest timepiece. It’s made from bronze and has an interesting scale pattern that adds to the look.

“It reacts to the touch. It is alive. It re-oxidizes as soon as it is scratched, and this oxidation protects it and erases the traces of time. It is fascinating as if reacting like the skin’s natural regenerating process,” said Martin Frei, Urwerk's co-founder.

While Barbour is recognized for its luxury and elevated patterns, Crocs isn’t as well-known for its sophisticated designs.
