The following is taken from the SwiSh website:
Having started trading in the late summer of 2005, SwiSh is currently working hard at extending its catalogue to provide the following advantages to basketball players:
The idea for SwiSh developed from our personal experiences. As a family we have spent many hours over several years trying to hunt down the kit wanted or needed for our three boys to play basketball. Shops stocking any range of basketball kit are few and far between and those stocking a good range even scarcer (I'm not sure we've found a really good one yet in the UK).
The cost and time of trips round local shops, the the nearest big shopping town or to central London, only to find they hadn't got what we wanted, became a real burden. Even the largest sports stores often only pay lip-service to basketball players' requirements.
Yes, we know there are other basketball suppliers, but from our experience they are mostly aimed at clubs, teams and schools, and supply equipment rather than apparel. Where apparel is stocked the range of sizes is very often limited and mostly for men.
So, the answer - a specialist basketball apparel outlet with a good range of stock for all sizes and shapes of basketball player. And here it is - SwiSh - as yet still in its infancy - but with your support and feedback we promise we will try and improve things over time to provide a reliable source for the basketball apparel you want and need.
Our range will include basketball shoes and boots, practice gear, street wear, kit bags and balls - in fact everything a basketball player needs to look and play the part! And, as our aim is to provide what you want and need, we welcome your input - just let us know what you're looking for and we will do our best to find it! Contact SwiSh.
Our Catalogue is available online (with the advantage of up to date stock levels) and issued regularly in paper format. Orders will be taken online and by phone or post and we will aim to dispatch them within 48 hours of receipt of payment.
Gone will be the need to hunt for and travel to the few shops that stock basketball gear in your favourite brand, only to find they have a limited range and sizes available. Here at SwiSh we are putting in the effort when sourcing our stock so you can easily choose the right thing for you.
