Adidas Philippines has released its first-ever Filipino player-edition basketball shoe, the Adizero Select 3.0 “KQ63”, featuring rising star Kevin Quiambao. The shoe, designed with Filipino artist Quiccs, blends performance with streetwear-inspired storytelling. The “KQ63” celebrates Filipino talent and heritage, marking a new era of local representation in global sportswear. Quiccs, a renowned toy designer and streetwear artist, is at the helm of the partnership, helping bring KQ’s story to life through footwear. The shoe aims to reflect Quiambao’s athletic journey, from the courts of his hometown to the grand stages of Korea, and what lies ahead for him.
“It’s been a privilege to have played a part in this player edition footwear, and it has been one of the biggest inspirations for me to keep working and playing hard on the court. Adidas has been one of my biggest supporters from the start, so I’m very excited to be a part of this collaboration with adidas and Quiccs as I continue my journey as an athlete,” shares Quiambao.
While KQ has ushered in the wave of the next generation of elite athletes with his skill and tenacity on the court, so has Quiccs made and continues to make his impact in art, locally and globally. Through his signature character TEQ63, Quiccs has crafted an identity and style unique to him, blending his passions of Japanese robots, hip-hop, and graffiti to leave his influence in every line, in every stroke.
The “KQ63” colorway features a striking neon pink base with crisp white stripes, merging KQ’s favorite color to wear on-court with Quiccs’ signature street-meets-mecha aesthetic. The design is rich with personal touches, including custom logos and illustrations of both KQ and Quiccs on the heels and insoles—symbols of national pride and creative synergy.
“Having been able to work with Adidas for the last six years, it continues to be an accomplishment to collaborate, especially now more so with Kevin Quiambao, who has proven himself to be a generational talent. I feel very honored not only to have worked with him but also to have another opportunity to represent Filipino artistry once more with adidas,” says Quiccs of the collaboration.
Built on the Adizero Select 3.0 silhouette, the lightweight low-cut shoe is engineered for elite performance with:
- Lightstrike cushioning for explosive speed and agility
- Breathable textile upper for all-game comfort
- Unique “KQ63” detailing, blending KQ’s story with Quiccs’ iconic “63” call sign
This release underscores adidas Philippines’ commitment to celebrating homegrown icons by bridging performance and culture through meaningful local collaborations.
“We are proud to support Kevin Quiambao and Quiccs—two powerful forces in Filipino sport and culture,” says Dave Sexton, Country Manager of adidas Philippines. “The ‘KQ63’ colorway celebrates homegrown talent, passion, and creativity. This milestone marks a new chapter in championing local voices and inspiring the next generation of game-changers.”
The KQ63 colorway made its global debut on the NBA stage, worn by Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green, of Filipino descent. He sported the pair during Filipino Heritage Night, a fitting tribute that underscored the cultural pride and representation behind the design. His appearance in the KQ63s helped shine a spotlight on Filipino identity and the growing influence of local talent on the global basketball scene.
The Adizero Select 3.0 “KQ63” will retail for PHP 5,800, and we are available for early release on June 11, 2025, at FootLocker stores. General release will follow on June 12, 2025, at adidas stores, online at adidas.com.ph, the adidas App, and various retailers such as Planet Sports, Sports Central, and Toby’s Sports.
