The World Balance ST3 is finally arriving as the much-awaited sneaker is set for an exclusive drop on January 25, 2025, at the Ayala Malls Trinoma.
It sure is good news for those who’ve been waiting for the latest iteration of Scottie Thompson’s signature shoe line from the Filipino sports brand since the former PBA MVP unveiled it to the public during the latter part of 2024.
To add more excitement, those who purchase a pair during the launch will get the opportunity to meet Thompson in person and have their shoes signed.
World Balance will be releasing the ST3 ‘LEGACY’ colorway, which features the classic Ginebra red and black scheme with a golden TPU wing cage.
Scottie was seen wearing the particular shoe multiple times during his games last December 2024 – that, after rocking a triple-black pair during the Kings’ Season 49 Governors’ Cup Finals series against TNT last November.
The most notable game where he flaunted the ST3 ‘LEGACY’ was during Ginebra’s eventual 94-72 rout of Phoenix last December 13 in Governors’ Cup action.
There, he finished with 17 points, six rebounds, and two steals.
Retailing at P3,999, Thompson’s newest shoe delivers top-tier performance with its cutting-edge design and advanced features.
It introduces an innovative Lace Lock system for on-demand lockdown, ensuring players remain secure when driving to the rim or grabbing rebounds.
The breathable mesh upper is designed to provide ventilation, stretch, and support in critical areas, keeping the foot cool and comfortable.
Engineered for agility, the shoe’s Stable Lateral Outrigger enhances grip and control during sharp cuts and sudden stops, while the sock-fit built contours snugly around the foot, minimizing movement inside the shoe for better stability.
For additional rear-foot control, the molded heel-counter, made from thermal-molded plastic, keeps the foot locked in place during aggressive play.
To top it off, the Sonic Grip outsole – a radial, multi-directional rubber design – ensures superior traction on all surfaces, giving players unparalleled control whether they’re making quick stops or accelerating in transition.
The first 100 customers of this exclusive drop will also get the chance to receive an exclusive Ginebra towel merchandise, available only during the event.
