Crispa (clothing brand)
Crispa was a Philippine sportswear and lifestyle brand prominent in the 1970s and 1980s, primarily known for its basketball shoes and association with the Crispa Redmanizers, a legendary team in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
The brand gained significant recognition due to its sponsorship of the Crispa Redmanizers, who dominated the PBA in its early years. The team's success and popularity helped to establish Crispa as a leading sportswear brand in the Philippines.
While originally focused on basketball footwear, Crispa expanded its product line to include athletic apparel and other sportswear items. The brand became synonymous with a certain era of Philippine basketball and remains a nostalgic symbol for many Filipino sports fans.
The Crispa brand eventually faded from prominence, but its legacy as a significant player in the Philippine sportswear industry and its strong association with the Crispa Redmanizers endure. Currently, the brand is undergoing revival with releases of retro-inspired designs and collaborations.
