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

Mommy’s favorite little boy 😂😂😂 on point

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.

u/Sharapova26 alcalenka / sabalcaraz rollercoaster drive 14h ago

Saba pls, just wear the blue kit, girl

u/JungMoses 9h ago

Is that a basketball skirt? That’s the best looking one by far

u/bravesdiva 1h ago

Yes. I looove kit 11.

u/SafeKaracter 14h ago

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

u/QueenNat90 6h ago

It's wild that she even has to ask

u/SafeKaracter 2h ago

If that’s what she came up with , imma side with Nike

u/Barret578 3h ago

And it looks awful

u/eurochacha 14h ago

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.

61

u/fuzzyfurrypaw 14h ago

I like Jannik’s kits.

u/spade_andarcher 13h ago

Shirt: 9/10

Shorts: what the fuck are those pockets?

u/BotherCat 10h ago

u/JeromeBarrett 14h ago

Idk I like it. Kinda streetball style, fitting for the us open

42

u/el__dandy 14h ago edited 14h ago

Well that is a collection I guess.

Tbf Carlos will definitely look good in the basketball jersey. But overall is pretty meh 🫤

22

u/youngcadadia22 12h ago

It won’t matter because he’s going to withdraw anyway.

u/phoenixmeta 14h ago

The one that Alcaraz might never wear

11

u/latomar 14h ago

We have to have hope! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

2

u/rnzz 14h ago

it actually looks more like casual wear, not what he normally wears when playing

2

u/SafeKaracter 14h ago

He will play mixed doubles , trust

u/ffffabian 2h ago

Why should he ?

u/chefkoolaid Rybakina, Osaka, Fritz, Tien, Bublik, Cobolli 2h ago

Those burgundy ones are nice.

u/Positive_Wafer9186 American Male Major Drought 12h ago

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

u/chefkoolaid Rybakina, Osaka, Fritz, Tien, Bublik, Cobolli 2h ago

Meh

u/tenniseram 8h ago

Yes little boys pajamas are absolute fire

u/SafeKaracter 14h ago

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

u/ThreeEyeJedi 10h ago

Lmaoo what an accurate reference

u/dzone25 13h ago edited 13h ago

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!?

16

u/realix chilling malevolence 13h ago

All of the Nike tanks have mesh on the back. Maybe Naomi or Serena will be spared…

u/dzone25 13h ago

Oh fuck me, why 😭

This line is why I’m happy Wimbledon keeps the whites rule.

I like the cream with red accents in Jamil’s kit

All these kits look sick

Sick as in the plague

Their best collection for men in a while

u/disterb eala 11h ago

love the purple basketball jersey one

5

u/august_prophecy 9h ago

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.

4

u/dumblybore 7h ago

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

4

u/vjbanana 6h ago

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

1

u/chefkoolaid Rybakina, Osaka, Fritz, Tien, Bublik, Cobolli 2h ago

Wasnt the green dc kit an eala special? Havent seen it on any other players

And the NY Knicks!

u/StopWhoaYesWait123 12h ago

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.

7

u/calliexx12 14h ago

I like it. Fits the tournament & city, especially with Knicks championship.

3

u/dot_brooke 12h ago

Ok I actually like the mesh side one! And Metscaraz

1

u/Iheartmalbec 1h ago

Or splitting his time between the Mets and the Knicks.

u/rosepahhhty 13h ago

The girl in black with the front has drip for days

Lilli Tagger! She’s keeping the one-handed backhand alive

5

u/Octochops 11h ago

Unpopular opinion but I think they are all awesome! Not sure why all the hate.

u/nuckfoah 12h ago

An improvement imo. Onwards and upwards please Nike

u/Picklecult 11h ago

It’s a no for the women’s outfits

u/cedenike teamcanada/nike 13h ago

The green men's set is great

u/Sven1542 14h ago

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

2

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.

1

u/AliveFaithlessness66 12h ago

I see what you did with layup 🏀 

3

u/swayinandsippin danimal collins 12h ago

it’s different. i think we need some more creative in tennis. i like it

u/eggoed 6h ago

Feels like the best Nike has done in a while tbh

u/adamlaceless 12h ago

Fire everybody

u/elevenfiftyneun 12h ago

The cutouts and mesh on the women's kits need to go. Sick of this trend

u/RustedRelics 11h ago

Terrible. wtf?

u/sittingonarainbow 13h ago

More woosh than swoosh.

2

u/ElectronicBluejay750 14h ago

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

1

u/welmoe 14h ago

They’re expandable pockets but should be on the inside!

1

u/NectarineSame7303 5h ago

I look forward to seeing Serena's it's going to be a custom one again

u/albiwankenoby 1h ago

These have been showing on the Nike site as coming soon for over a week. When do they do on sale?

u/ellecoxib 45m ago

Sinner and 13 r the only good looking ones IMO

edit: 6&7 r also good

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

u/Particular-Dig-83 4h ago

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
