Women's sports gear should look good - but carefully, it's also important that it serves its purpose, and that should be a priority. Nike has finally decided to create a basketball line of sportswear just for women. But to make sure they didn't miss a beat, they consulted with ladies who know a thing or two about the sport.
Poli is the most recognizable brand of Perutnina Ptuj, a leading company in the field of breeding, processing and preparation of poultry meat with more than 110 years of tradition. The highest quality, popularity, recognizable personality and values of the brand are the common characteristics that connected the Poli brand with the basketball virtuoso Luka Dončić.
The euphoria ignited by our basketball players has already subsided a little, but it is still far from complete. Dragić and the rest of the team continue their careers in their respective clubs around the world, but we are still waiting for the last minutes of the final match with mugs of beer. One of the biggest stars, Luka Dončić, who is preparing for the campaign in the Euroleague with Real Madrid, clearly knows other types of 'floor'.
The key player of the Chicago Bulls team, Derrick Rose, returned to the floor after 17 months after a knee injury, ready for new victories in the NBA.
Nika Barić is among women's basketball players what Marko Milič is among men, as she was the first Slovenian to break into the strongest basketball league in the world, the WNBA, the women's version of the NBA. Namely, she signed a contract with one of the strongest American teams, the Minnesota Lynx (champions in 2001 and 2013), after they selected her as the 20th overall pick in the 2012 draft.
The Slovenian acrobatic team Dunken Devils drew attention to itself again. It started at the pier in Izola, continued at the Celje Castle, followed by a scene with Mangart in the background, and now the thirteen found themselves under the railway bridge over the Sava River. The trampoline was replaced by a huge swing, and the basketball hoop was hung right under the bridge, 10 meters above the river! The world is excited, you will be too, and maybe NBA scoring champion Zach LaVine of the Minnesota Timberwolves will pick up a trick from their textbooks.
Pigalle Duperré is a basketball court like you have never seen before, as it works as if you had drawn it. You've probably already come across one of our series of photos with photo manipulations, where reality was mixed with Photoshop inserts. This time it's all real, and the outdoor basketball court sandwiched between apartments is located in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. Behind the project stands Ill-Studio, which has teamed up with the French fashion brand Pigalle on this occasion.
Basketball courts, indoor and outdoor, are more or less all the same. Parquet or concrete, marked with lines and any sponsors' markings or visiting teams. A Playground in Italy is a different kind of basketball court. It is an art installation, but it follows all the rules of the game.
Wilson Sporting Goods has introduced the Airless Gen1, the first 3D printed airless basketball, heralding a new era in the world of sports equipment. This innovative ball, which does not require air to bounce, is based on an intricate 3D printed polymer grid and is limited to 75 units. This is the first - an airless basketball.
Just when we think they have shown their best tricks and exhausted their acts, the Dunking Devils prove again and again that they do not lack creative and acrobatic inspiration, and more and more often also courage. This time they hammered on a traveling train on the Nova Gorica-Bohinj route, thus honoring the 110th anniversary of the existence of the Bohinj railway line. Among the scenes we also find such purely Hollywood or Bond-esque, as one of the members jumps from the bridge onto the moving train, while the other juggles on top of the wagon when the train crosses the Solkan bridge, as if it were the easiest thing in the world and one wrong move wouldn't cost him a 36-meter drop and sudden refreshments in Soča. Otherwise, jumping into the river, except Savo, Dunking Devils are used to it anyway.
After the Slovenian acrobatic group Dunking Devils impressed with a crazy dunk under the railway bridge over the Sava River, the team once again showed their luxurious talent. This time at the audition of the British show Britain's Got Talent. The judges, even the strictest of them, Simon Cowell, were absolutely delighted with her performance! You will too!
