While it was a very timely campaign from the swoosh brand, the real star of the event was the highly anticipated, Pacman inspired, limited edition Nike Air Trainer 1.3 Max.

After the regional selections were done last March, the 50 best players were all set for the Jr. NBA National Training Camp.

Puma Philippines recently launched their new campaign called "Puma Social" aimed to those that are (sort of) into sports and lifestyle apparel. I've mentioned about it before the said launch. While the event was held on April Fool's night, Puma wasn't joking about what they had in store for sneaker heads and sports enthusiasts alike. It was held at Republiq Club in Resorts World Hotel. Not only were the shoe heads treated to some Foosball and Table Tennis action but also the regular party goers of the club as well.

Went to this event the next day after my coverage with the Jr. NBA Regionals at Xavier School in San Juan. This is the second running event I've covered and at least I had some energy (and sleep) for that day.

The defending UAAP Champions Ateneo Blue Eagles have made key additions like Keifer Ravena and Greg Slaughter en route for a possible three-peat. While Ateneo have made headlines with those acquisitions, their rival De La Salle University Green Archers got a lot on their sleeves as well.
