adidas has unveiled its 19-piece Fall/Winter 2024 New York Tennis collection, featuring cutting-edge designs that optimize movement and minimize distractions on the court. The blue and white colorways, inspired by New York‘s iconic hard courts, were created using insights from motion capture technology that analyzed the stress on athletes’ bodies during play.
The collection’s strategic fabric placements and cutouts follow the natural curves of the body, focusing on high-movement areas such as the shoulders and under the arm to maximize players’ range of motion. Key pieces like the women’s AEROREADY Dress Pro and HEAT.RDY Match Skirt Pro feature pleats across the thigh for maximum flexibility and adaptability, allowing players to change direction effortlessly.
On the men’s HEAT.RDY FreeLift Polo Shirt Pro and HEAT.RDY Tank Top Pro, white colorblocking is strategically placed on the shoulders and torso where most heat is generated to keep players cool and comfortable. adidas’ innovative AIRCHILL technology creates ventilation zones in high-sweat areas, utilizing thermally zoned, raised pattern motifs and mesh layers to maximize airflow on the men’s AIRCHILL FreeLift t-Shirt Pro and women’s AIRCHILL Match Tank Pro.
In addition to the apparel line, adidas is launching nine footwear silhouettes in a range of seasonal colorways for men and women, including the recently unveiled Defiant Speed 2. This lightweight and durable shoe features a Lightstrike midsole for resilient cushioning, a durable Adiwear outsole for added traction, and a redesigned mono mesh upper for enhanced breathability and support.
The head-to-toe collection, which will debut at the final major of the season, will be worn by top athletes including Jessica Pegula, Caroline Wozniacki, Elina Svitolina, Maria Sakkari, Daria Kasatkina, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Felix Auger-Aliassime. The apparel collection is priced from €60-€200 with sizes ranging from XS-2XL for men and 2XS-2XL for women. The Defiant Speed 2 retails for €120 and is available in sizes UK 6-15 for men and UK 3.5-10 for women. All items are available now on adidas.com and the adidas app.
