The first collection releases jerseys of teams including the San Miguel Beermen, the Magnolia Hotshots, the Alaska Aces, and Barangay Ginebra, are now available in both World Balance stores and online retailers like Lazada and Beebeelee. In order to make sure that the jerseys embody the top quality the league also uses, World Balance will use a full-sublimation process for the same amount of comfort.

During the press launch last Wednesday, March 27, PBA commissioner Willie Marcial explained, “I didn’t know that World Balance is a local brand, I thought they were international, so it’s a huge deal for the PBA that they’re making replicas of all the teams.” He explained that the partnership develops a sense of Filipino pride for basketball fans locally and internationally.

World Balance also posted about the release on their Facebook page, saying, “Our partnership with the PBA for the launch of the 1st wave of our official licensed jerseys is off to a rousing start as throngs of fans lined up at our pop-up booth located at the Green Gate of the Araneta Coliseum! The collection is also available in selected WB boutiques as well as online via Lazada, Shopee and Beebeelee for just P1,099 so grab yours now and wear it with pride!” They add, “Wear your favorite player’s jersey from the Alaska Aces, Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and San Miguel Beermen!”

The first collection of the collaboration of PBA and World Balance was released on the same day as the press conference, while the second collection to complete the list of teams will be available later in the year.
