A Full Circle Moment: Clint Escamis is a Deer Valley TITAN

Clint Escamis is the newest Deer Valley TITAN—the basketball specialty concept store’s player management arm. The Mapúa Cardinal’s impressive display earned him the tournament’s Mythical Five honors and the Finals Most Valuable Player, ending a 33-year championship drought.

It is without a doubt that he also won the attention of one of the country’s premier agencies.

TITAN announced its acquisition through a collaborative reel with SLAM Philippines, featuring Escamis on a styling chair and showcasing their offerings at the One Bonifacio branch. In a brief interview, he first touched on what it means to win and the roller coaster journey to their sixth banner.

Kahit ngayon, it feels surreal. ‘Di kaya naming gawin without the community, fans, and the coaching staff. Sobrang sarap talaga sa pakiramdam na we got a community behind our back, and the rest is history,” he mentions.

(Even now, it feels surreal. We couldn’t have done it without the community, the fans, and the coaching staff. It’s such a good feeling knowing that we have a community behind our back, and the rest is history.)

He continued, appearing grateful for the opportunity to join the brand’s coveted roster, as he was once a sneakerhead and an avid visitor to their locations.

“My common goal with TITAN is, like I want to elevate myself, elevate my game, be the best version of myself physically, mentally, and professionally. That goes in line with how TITAN represents its brand,” he shared.

He adds: “It feels like a full circle moment for me, kasi I dreamed of being a Deer Valley TITAN. I was one of those kids who visited TITAN branches just to check out shoes. It really feels like a dream.”
