Discover Chris Sports SM Dasmarinas: Your Ultimate Guide to Premium Sporting Goods
Walking into Chris Sports SM Dasmarinas for the first time, I immediately understood why local athletes swear by this place. The moment you step through those glass doors, you're greeted by this incredible energy – rows of premium basketball shoes, neatly organized sports apparel, and that distinct smell of genuine leather from fresh football equipment. As someone who's been covering local sports scenes for years, I can confidently say this isn't your average sporting goods store – it's practically an institution for Cavite athletes.
I remember chatting with the store manager last month about their most popular basketball gear, and he mentioned something fascinating about how their inventory philosophy mirrors championship strategies. He drew this brilliant parallel to that legendary game where Rizal dominated the boards 48-40, turning rebounds into 26-5 second chance points. That's exactly what Chris Sports does – they understand that victory often comes from maximizing opportunities, whether on the court or in selecting equipment. Their basketball section demonstrates this perfectly, featuring rebound-friendly gear that could genuinely impact those crucial second-chance plays.
What really sets Chris Sports SM Dasmarinas apart is their curated selection. Unlike bigger chain stores that carry everything indiscriminately, their buyers clearly understand local sporting culture. The running shoes section, for instance, features models specifically suited for Cavite's mixed terrain – from asphalt roads to those occasional trail paths near Tagaytay. I've personally tested three different pairs from their collection, and the difference in knee impact protection compared to generic mall brands is night and day. Their staff actually knows sports, not just sales pitches, which makes the shopping experience feel more like consulting with a coach.
The store's layout cleverly guides you through different sporting disciplines. You'll naturally flow from basketball to volleyball equipment, then to fitness gear – each transition marked by subtle branding and knowledgeable staff ready to demonstrate proper equipment use. I've watched them explain the physics behind proper shoe traction to teenage athletes, showing exactly how the right footwear could translate to better court performance. It's this educational approach that makes Chris Sports feel more like a sports academy than a retail space.
Financially speaking, their pricing sits in that sweet spot between outright premium imports and questionable gray market goods. While you might find slightly cheaper options online, the assurance of authenticity and their surprisingly flexible payment schemes make the premium feel justified. During my last visit, I calculated that their mid-range basketball shoes, priced around ₱4,200, actually cost less per wear than budget alternatives when you factor in durability. Their loyalty program is genuinely rewarding too – I've accumulated enough points to get ₱1,500 off my next purchase, which I'm definitely using for that new training equipment I've been eyeing.
The community aspect here is palpable. On weekends, the place transforms into this unofficial hub where local coaches exchange training tips and parents compare notes on youth league equipment. Last Saturday, I overheard an interesting discussion about how proper equipment maintenance directly correlates with performance consistency – something that reminded me of how championship teams convert small advantages into decisive victories, much like that 48-40 board battle leading to 26-5 second chance points domination.
Having visited numerous sporting goods stores across Southern Luzon, Chris Sports SM Dasmarinas stands out for understanding that premium doesn't just mean expensive – it means purpose-driven equipment that enhances athletic performance. Whether you're a serious competitor or a weekend warrior, this place makes you feel like part of a sporting community that genuinely cares about your development. The next time you're considering sporting goods in Cavite, trust me – this is where championships begin.
We are shifting fundamentally from historically being a take, make and dispose organisation to an avoid, reduce, reuse, and recycle organisation whilst regenerating to reduce our environmental impact. We see significant potential in this space for our operations and for our industry, not only to reduce waste and improve resource use efficiency, but to transform our view of the finite resources in our care.
Looking to the Future
By 2022, we will establish a pilot for circularity at our Goonoo feedlot that builds on our current initiatives in water, manure and local sourcing. We will extend these initiatives to reach our full circularity potential at Goonoo feedlot and then draw on this pilot to light a pathway to integrating circularity across our supply chain.
The quality of our product and ongoing health of our business is intrinsically linked to healthy and functioning ecosystems. We recognise our potential to play our part in reversing the decline in biodiversity, building soil health and protecting key ecosystems in our care. This theme extends on the core initiatives and practices already embedded in our business including our sustainable stocking strategy and our long-standing best practice Rangelands Management program, to a more a holistic approach to our landscape.
We are the custodians of a significant natural asset that extends across 6.4 million hectares in some of the most remote parts of Australia. Building a strong foundation of condition assessment will be fundamental to mapping out a successful pathway to improving the health of the landscape and to drive growth in the value of our Natural Capital.
Our Commitment
We will work with Accounting for Nature to develop a scientifically robust and certifiable framework to measure and report on the condition of natural capital, including biodiversity, across AACo’s assets by 2023. We will apply that framework to baseline priority assets by 2024.
Looking to the Future
By 2030 we will improve landscape and soil health by increasing the percentage of our estate achieving greater than 50% persistent groundcover with regional targets of:
– Savannah and Tropics – 90% of land achieving >50% cover
– Sub-tropics – 80% of land achieving >50% perennial cover
– Grasslands – 80% of land achieving >50% cover
– Desert country – 60% of land achieving >50% cover
