NIKE has unveiled the 2024 Gilas Pilipinas kits for the men’s, women’s, 3X3, and youth national basketball teams, which are described as the "most athlete-informed, data-driven, and visually unified team kit that the brand has ever produced."
The road jerseys are in blue with yellow on the side, while the home uniforms are in white with touches of red and blue – colors that represent the Philippine flag - with the words “ANY, EVERY, ALL” located discreetly on the bottom hem of the jerseys and translated in Tagalog.
"The colors remind me of the blue oceans that surround the Philippines with the yellow signifying the rays of the sun. They represent the aura and natural beauty of the Philippines in a soft and elegant way, symbolizing the hospitality that Filipinos have to offer,” said Gilas guard Chris Newsome.

Gilas men's will debut the kit on the court during the upcoming Olympic Qualifying Tournament (OQT) in Latvia starting on July 2.
Based on 4D motion-capture data algorithmically honed with pixel-level precision and engineered specifically for each competition, the team kits sport an entirely new chassis designed to answer the athletes’ preference for mobility and breathability and engineered to the exact specifications of the body in motion.
Combining Nike’s strengths in sport research and computational design with Dri-FIT ADV technology, the kits provide players with both breathable and radical structures and have adaptable vents, conforming to each athlete’s unique needs.
Athlete insights continue to serve as a fundamental element that informs Nike design — including this year’s kit designs, said John Hoke, Nike chief innovation officer.
“Working directly with athletes throughout every stage of the design process, Nike designed garments to ensure fit across a range of body types and style preferences and infused real-time feedback throughout the entire product-development cycle.”
The road jersey and fan tee collection will be released on July 3 exclusively on Nike.com, Nike Fort, and at Titan.
