Maria Sharapova’s US Open day dress is different from the one that was posted earlier, as that was her Wimbledon dress. Here is a picture of both day and night dresses:
Here is a crazy Nike campaign called Make Yourself! It is a very interesting idea to have some of the worlds best tennis players wearing their basic training outfits!
Here are some photos of Maria Sharapova’s 2010 French Open outfit from Nike. Im not really too sure if Maria will get many matches in this dress, as Im not really expecting her to do very well!
Gaël Monfils of France is now an official KSwiss athlete. He’s traded the single swoosh for five stripes. “I am thrilled to join such an iconic tennis brand with a great reputation for athlete collaboration,” said Monfils. “I am looking forward to working with KSwiss on developing my own line of clothes to launch next year and growing our relationship in the years to come.”
Tennis ads have become a lot of fun lately and this one from Nike is no different.
The Tennis Ball Nike Hypermax NFW (No Flywire) features a Tennis Ball colored upper made of Tennis Ball felt and mesh. The upper sits on a White/Yellow midsole and the Visible Air Unit features a Yellow chamber. The Tennis Ball Nike Hypermax does not feature Nike’s Flywire technology while the GR/PE/Team colorways feature the technology.
The Tennis Ball Nike Hypermax NFW is set to release later this Summer.
Enjoy a brand new Cole Haan ad featuring Maria Sharapova. This new spring campaign features bags and the Nike Zoom Flywire Shoe.
It has been reported that Gael Monfils is having some sponsorship problems. The flaboyant Frenchman is said to be having problems with his sponsor Nike. It has been noticed that Monfils has been wearing Nike clothing from several years ago.
Monfils signed a four year deal with Nike in 2005 for $2 million guaranteed ($500,000 annually). Thus, is he wearing the old clothes to possibly make a statement and get a new contract, or did he just not have any new Nike clothes washed?
In the last few weeks there have been a lot of talk in the USA about Raphael Nadal and how they are wanting to overhaul his image and make him a little more clean cut. Rafa and Nike want to move away from the muscle shirt and Capri pants — a “hunky rebel” look — to that of a more traditional tennis player: polos and shorts.
So if I understand correctly they want to turn Rafa into a Roger Federer clone! I really cant see the point of this from Nike. Tennis is getting a lot of negative press because sometimes it is just so boring and there aren’t any real personalities left in the game anymore, and then suddenly you decide to try to make a good looking guy, who is bringing more women to the game, a preppy!
Nike, this is really not going to work and more the point I think you will be selling a lot less product because of it!
