Sneakers are synonymous with basketball culture.

Beyond being an accessory, on the court, sneakers also serve as an artistic form of expression.

During the BAL 2023 edition in Kigali, different players put on beautiful sneakers.

Egyptian giants Al Ahly were crowned champions of the third season of the Basketball Africa League (BAL), following Saturday’s 80-65 comfortable victory over Senegal’s AS Douanes in the final held at BK Arena.

The New Times' Olivier Mugwiza captured some of the coolest sneakers at the just concluded Basketball Africa League.
