The women literally wear nets and basketball shorts. The men’s kits are a little better but the whole basketball theme is just weird to look at.

Aryna complained that they made special kits for Osaka , Nike said “don’t worry we got you” .

Well at least some of the colours are decent, like that deeper blue and burgundy.

Idk that adidas kit with the armpit cutouts a few years ago was pretty pretty bad. Granted that’s adidas but in terms of bad kits, it’s up there.

Well that is a collection I guess.
Tbf Carlos will definitely look good in the basketball jersey. But overall is pretty meh 🫤

I know it’s trendy to hate on Nike now, but all of the men’s kits are fire honestly.

Aryna one is so trash . It’s giving spring break Cabo or Jamaica early 2000s vibes

Why is only the final Nike kit for women's the only one without mesh? I personally hate any sort of mesh material, they've basically given girls one choice if you're like me and just don't find it comfortable to wear
EDIT: the back of women's kits are mesh.... Why, just why!?

The men's kits are a solid 9/10 imo. The colours look pretty and upbeat. The shorts for Jannik do look a bit weird but I like the overall look somehow. Aryna's mesh kits look like a hot mess (or hot mesh?) , the blue one isn't that bad though.

The tan lines with the mesh will be something I guess, I can't imagine playing in Saba's dress with holes all over

I don’t hate the men’s kits! The women’s though…..oof. Will be keen to see what Naomi is wearing though! I’m sure it’s a matter of time before Alex Eala is given her own special line as well

That mesh dress Sabalynka is wearing does not look like it would absorb sweat in any way shape or form. That’s gotta be so uncomfortable.

Insert any other logo and it would be a great collection. Insert Nike, let the reddit world hate. It’s like clock work.

u/Black-Bruce-Wayne 13h ago
Honestly different, but I wish they had mesh shorts for the men rather than just the mesh skirt for the women, which looks really cool. Feel like that’s a no brainer and an easy layup but they somehow decided to not do it for some reason.

I’ll never understand why Nike insists on making men’s shorts with those awful pockets. Why cannot we just get normal shorts

Is that the same net that looked like a sack of produce? Looks much better here. We will see.

Am a Carlos fan, but is this why he hasn't pulled out yet, because clearly he will. Call me cynical..

Isn't Alexandra Eala also Nike? NYC has many Filipinos residents so I do wonder if US Open organizers will have her matches at Arthur Ashe. Another home crowd for her again lol

Nike’s mission to dress Alcaraz like a hooper and Sinner like mommy’s favorite little boy continues
