MANILA, Philippines — In a recent release, presented to fit the lifestyle of the hardcore athleisure supporters down to meet one’s everyday sartorial needs, UNIQLO amplifies the high functionality of its latest Sport Utility Wear collection at a series of pickleball matches early this month, with a highlight on the many features of the performance-focused clothing.
Held at the MET Sports Center in Pasay City, local celebrity partner Kianna Dy gets joined by celebrity and athlete Enchong Dee, all decked in Sport Utility Wear’s latest collection while playing one of the country’s fastest-rising sports—showcasing how the new lineup promotes seamless performance on and off the court.

“At UNIQLO, we prioritize bringing better design, functionality, and comfort into our lives. And when it comes to Sport Utility Wear, we are redefining athleisure in terms of form and function. Sport Utility Wear is not just for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. It’s also the perfect everyday wear for those who are always-on-the-go—because we also need clothes that allow us to move around and stay fresh at any time of the day” says UNIQLO Philippines Chief Operating Officer Geraldine Sia at the commencement of the pickleball session.
Designed with performance, comfort and versatility in mind, the UNIQLO Sport Utility Wear perfectly presents itself as key wardrobe suggestion for both sporty activities and everyday movement, as seen in the new collection highlighting four core functionalities, not to mention the rapid change in weather conditions.
“As a pickleball rookie, I was so excited to put together an outfit for today’s activity. The best thing about UNIQLO Sport Utility Wear is its versatility; you can wear it during your workouts, or while doing errands, or even for a get together with friends,” shares UNIQLO’s Sport Utility Wear local celebrity partner Kianna Dy.

Especially with the summer season in full swing, UNIQLO Sport Utility Wear offers instant and all-day UV Protection. This technology works by dealing with harmful UV-A and UV-B rays of the sun. For the UV Protection Collection, the special fabric gets further enhanced to reflect and absorb UV-A and UV-B to keep the skin protected at all times.
This special fabric blocks over 90% of UV rays with UPF 50+, the maximum rating in UV protection clothing. This makes UNIQLO’s UV Protection line a must-have for outdoor activities this season, and even on daily commutes especially when exposed to the sun while taking moto-taxis. To get maximum UV defense, consider the Women’s AIRism UV Protection Full-Zip Hoodie (P1490) and the DRY-EX UV Protection Full-Zip Hoodie (P1490).
Its Ultra Stretch feature is another key functionality that is made to unlock ease of movement. Easy to style and easy to move in, each item in the latest lineup presents multidirectional stretch vertically and horizontally. The Ultra Stretch feature encourages one to go beyond limits while staying comfortable with the Ultra Stretch Active Shorts (P990 for men, P1290 for women), the Women’s Ultra Stretch Active Skort (available in select stores, P1290) and the Ultra Stretch Active Jogger Pants (P1490 for men and women).

Speaking of comfort, the UNIQLO Sport Utility Wear keeps one dry at all times with high-performance material and DRY-EX technology. Each piece in the new lineup quickly absorbs and disperses sweat and moisture to make for a dry, fresh feel. This is also important this season as the temperature continues to rise. Experience DRY-EX technology yourself with the DRY-EX T-shirt (P790) and DRY-EX Polo Shirt (P990).
The celebrated AIRism technology also keeps UNIQLO’s sportswear line smooth to the touch and incredibly stretchy and comfortable to wear. It’s a functionality that serves anyone whether in sports or everyday situations. Guests from the experiential event got to feel the smoothness of AIRism while staying active. Now, you can, too, by getting the Women’s AIRism Soft Cropped T-shirt (P790), the Women’s AIRism Bra Sleeveless Top (P990), and the Women’s AIRism Soft Ribbed Flare Leggings (available in select stores, P1490).
