Gracing the launch of the shoe, the Ginebra guard shared his fondness of the latest colorway which he also wore during the last PBA conference when it was still a player exclusive.
"Isa ito sa naging favorite ko kasi ito yung ginamit ko nung Finals series against Meralco last conference," Thompson shared to media on Saturday.
"I think yung colorway na ito maraming na-achieve," he added, having won Finals MVP while using the shoe in the PBA Governor's Cup earlier this year.
Thompson was not short on other colorways last conference, with an all-white and all-red colorway also in his rotation.
But the "Black-Gold" had a special place in Thompson's heart and it translated into his game.
"Even though marami akong ginagamit na colorway last conference, most of the time yung black gold talaga ang ginagamit ko," said Thompson.
"Ang daming achievements nitong colorway na ito para sa akin kaya ito talaga yung special na colorway na nilabas namin," he added.
Thompson fans can cop the ST1 "Black-Gold" in select World Balance outlets for the price of P3,499.
Also available are Thompson apparel like the "Logo Tee", the "Hustle Man" shirt, and the "Baller" Cap priced at P549 each.
Thompson and Ginebra are currently looking to make a deep run in the PBA Philippine Cup where they are currently 6-3.
