Background of the Sponsorship

GRIP INTERNATIONAL has historically supported many athletes, especially in the golf and sportswear sector. However, with SKINS evolving into a performance-first brand, new territory and fresh promotional approaches were essential.

SKINS is rooted in the belief that “functionality unlocks performance.”
Its compression technology is highly compatible not only with competitive sports but also with dance—where precise, powerful, and fluid movements are vital.
Clinical studies in Japan have shown that SKINS compression wear helps reduce muscle vibration, promote blood flow, and enhance both performance efficiency and recovery.

With D.LEAGUE demanding a fusion of explosiveness, flexibility, endurance, and artistry, SKINS found deep resonance in the uncompromising spirit of Valuence INFINITIES.
This partnership will support the team’s intense training and world-class performances by reinforcing their invisible “inner preparation” through SKINS technology.

About SKINS

Founded in 1996 in Australia, SKINS is the pioneer of compression sportswear, integrating patented Graduated Compression Technology into its garments to improve performance and recovery.

Its best-selling SERIES-3 Calf Tights, for instance, deliver medical-grade compression to reduce swelling, minimize fatigue, and boost blood flow—making them ideal not only for athletes, but also for long travel, physically demanding work, and everyday performance.

The Graduated Compression profile applies the most pressure at the calves, decreasing gradually up the limbs toward the heart. This enhances circulation and improves “running economy” by optimizing energy expenditure.

SKINS is committed to empowering “every body in motion” — across sports, dance, creative performance, and beyond.

By amplifying real voices and stories from the field, SKINS will expand its recognition as a brand that supports every body in motion.
