adidas is providing the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team with its most technologically advanced and stylish range ever for the Olympic Games.
Team GB’s basketball kits will be making use of TECHFIT PowerWeb technology, that helps to improve players posture and efficiency of movement, and ClimaCool to keep the players cool in the hot indoor conditions.
The PowerWeb technology used in the basketball vest is claimed to help athletes jump 4% higher.
While it is made with 60% recycled polyester and re-uses the equivalent of 3 plastic water bottles.
Plus a number of players will be wearing the adizero Crazylight 2, the lightest basketball shoe that adidas have ever produced, weighing in at just 269 grammes.
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
