PARIS, Aug 16 — Inspired by the upcoming US Open, Relaxnews have rounded up our favourite collections from the latest men’s tennis wear launches. Combining classic designs with new-season shapes and colours, the latest collections offer both style and functionality to ensure you look great both on and off the court.

adidas 2016 US Open Barricade collection

Unveiling their latest tennis wear range ahead of the US Open, adidas have released their 2016 US Open Barricade collection, updating the brand’s FW16 collection.

The Barricade performance wear has been designed with adidas’ existing autumn colour palette of bold, block colours but with cleaner, simpler lines for a striking on-court look. The range also incorporates adidas’ Climacool fabrics and technology to draw sweat and heat away from the body, and enhance comfort when playing in hot and humid places like New York City. The range has also added a unique laser dot design for improved ventilation, which is sure to be appreciated by Wimbledon quarter-finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and world number 10 Dominic Thiem when they debut the collection on-court.

The NikeCourt x Roger Federer collection

NikeLab’s Summer of Sport has seen the sportswear brand release a series of exciting collections, including a collaboration between NikeCourt and tennis legend Roger Federer.

Rather than designing a sportswear range for on-court play, Nike and Federer have teamed up to create an off-court collection inspired by the player’s own elegant style.

The line was designed with high-quality fabrics and construction to reflect the athlete’s appreciation of premium craftsmanship. Federer also provided the design team with his own personal preferences on material, colour and silhouettes, with graphics and zippers incorporated into the range to reference the 17-time Grand Slam champion’s tennis legacy.

Designed in a colour palette of traditional tennis white combined with the brand’s signature red and blue, the collection also incorporates contemporary patterns and high-tech performance fabrics that feature textured mesh, ergonomic seam lines, and a high-quality stretch.

Additions such as clean crew-neck t-shirts and an update of the brand’s staple Heritage jacket give the collection a fresh, modern feel, as well as providing variety with traditional polos and both short and pant options.

The collection is available now, with FILA’s sponsored athletes debuting the Heritage collection on-court in New York City. — AFP-Relaxnews
