Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 29) — Gilas Pilipinas may be struggling in the 2023 FIBA World Cup, but its head coach is dominating the style game.
Gilas is at the bottom of Group A with a 0-2 win-loss record.
Some netizens noticed the outfits Reyes has been wearing during Gilas games and said the veteran mentor should have focused on winning instead of his courtside look.
The four stripes on one side of his blazer and trousers were clear indications that Reyes was wearing a pair of Thom Brownes.
Thom Browne is an American designer label known for modernizing and elevating the usual uniform.
His top is a four-bar suit jacket priced at $2,309 (around ₱129,000), his four-bar trouser costs $1,130 (around ₱63,000), and his cotton placket shirt is worth $435 (around ₱24,000). This is according to the official Thom Browne website.
The Philippines is in a must-win situation against world number 10 Italy on Tuesday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. A loss means Gilas will be eliminated from the FIBA World Cup.
