Utah Jazz star Jordan Clarkson honored his Filipino roots anew as he showed off a Philippine-inspired custom shoe.
Designed by Filipino artist Maui Lucero, the custom Nike Zoom Freak 2 shows Clarkson wearing a Philippine team jersey and “Laban Pilipinas” written on the iconic swoosh.
Clarkson once represented Gilas Pilipinas in the 2018 Asian Games, where the country secured its best finish in the quadrennial meet in 16 years.
The other pair features Clarkson, who won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year last season, in a Jazz uniform.
“Puso!” Clarkson wrote as caption to his post.
Lucero, known on Instagram as thebrocustom, has worked with several Filipino basketball players, particularly in the PBA.
He created custom shoes for Rain or Shine’s Beau Belga, San Miguel’s Terrence Romeo, TNT’s Poy Erram, Magnolia’ Calvin Abueva and Mark Barroca, and NLEX’s Jericho Cruz, among others.
Lucero thanked Belga and his Rain or Shine teammates Gabe Norwood and Rey Nambatac for connecting him with the Clarkson family. – Rappler.com
