Grosby is a global brand of sports footwear and apparel/accessories born in Australia in 1926 and owned by a worldwide conglomerate named Pacific Dunlop,
Grosby dominated Philippines basketball when it slugged it out against Adidas in the Philippine market and the PBA hardcourt in the 1970s and 1980s. The battle became a triumvirate when Nike got into the picture in the 1970s and slowly became visible in the 1980s. Grosby was worn then by such basketball legends as the famous “Grosby Mythical Five” – Robert Jaworski, Francis Arnaiz, Mon Fernandez,
Bogs Adornado, Atoy Co – and the historic rivalry between Crispa and Toyota teams in their seemingly never-ending legendary battles on the heard court. Grosby was also worn by other great players in various other teams that graced the PBA arena. One of the best-selling Grosby basketball shoes was “The black Superman”, worn by an equally most-admired ex-NBA-player-turned PBA power shooter named Billy Ray Bates also known as “The Black Superman”. The top sports performance brands during this era in the Philippine market and the PBA hard court were Adidas, Grosby, and the third, Nike. Grosby Returns
