A large population of the world love and follow sports. What makes sport even more interesting is the clothing and shoes that accompany that sport. We have been accustomed to brands like Nike, Adidas, Rebook, Puma, and most recently, the Under Armour “boom”. Whilst these have been “doing their thing” out there, a sportswear and sneakers company called Peak has been slowly but surely climbing the sportswear and sneakers ladder. Recent years have seen an increase in the Peak Basketball Shoes interest.
History of Peak
Peak is a Chinese Sportswear and Footwear company founded in the late 80s. Its headquarters is in Quanzhou, China. Their 5000 stores are in four continents and those are Europe, Asia, America and Australia. Recent years have seen them managing to add a few major basketball players to their roster. They are also venturing into concept stores in order to boost the brand’s look and overall sales.

He is a four time NBA Champion and they are all with the Spurs. He won his fourth NBA championship in 2014 whilst wearing Peak Basketball Shoes. Tony signed with them in the 2013 season after dropping sportswear giant in Nike. Peak continued to create good shoes for him until his retirement days. His sneakers have different colorways.

His efforts and accolades have not been in vain since he has a good deal with Peak Sportswear and Footwear Company. Lou Williams wears “dope” Peak Basketball Shoes. The company has also made sure that he gets nicely designed sneakers.

Howard signed with PEAK in 2015. This move came as interesting news because he was signed with Adidas for approximately 10 years. Perhaps he needed the change since his three stripes sneakers we slowly falling into the bottom of the sales list. His line of sneakers under Peak are called “DH” which is short for his first name and last name. So has released DH1 to DH4.
Andrew Wiggins
Wiggins came into the league and many people had a lot of expectation from him. This is because he was the number 1 draft pick in the 2014 draft lottery. The Canadian born NBA player has since been balling hard since his inception into the league. He played for the Timber Wolves for a couple of years and now he is with the Golden State Warriors. Wiggins is a part of the NBA players who wear Peak Basketball Shoes. He announced the deal before the commencement of the 2020/2021 NBA season. The Wiggins sneakers are eye-catching and the thick out-sole provides for good comfort, especially for a big person like him.

Young was, in previous years, signed with Adidas but now he is the Peak Sportswear and Footwear company ambassador. We look forward to seeing more and more collaborations as the deal goes on.
