Adidas Tennis launches 2017 Roland Garros collection
03/04/2017
The collection is built to keep athletes comfortable in a multitude of conditions, with a combination of Clima technologies and mesh detail offering ventilation and quick evaporation of sweat, the sports brand said.
The men’s collection includes a polo, which will be worn by Thomas Berdych and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and tee, to be worn by Dominic Thiem and Sascha Zverev.
Footwear is part of the collection too. Jo-Wilfred Tsonga will wear Barricade 2017 Boost. Barricade 2017 Roland Garros footwear, built for the power player adidas says, will be worn by Dominic Thiem.
The women’s collection includes the Roland Garros line dress, featuring bi-tonal colour pleating along the hem for a modern twist on classic feminine pleats. The dress will be worn by Kristina Mladenovic. Angelique Kerber (pictured) will debut the tank and skort, which also includes bi-tonal pleats in green and white. Both will wear the adizero ubersonic 2 women’s footwear, which comes in green, white and orange.
Lotta Jurica design director at adidas Tennis, said at the time of the announcement: “For this collection we wanted to encompass the colours and style of Roland Garros within the design, which is why we’ve focused on colour-blocking in the traditional green associated with the tournament as well as classic tennis silhouettes. The inclusion of Clima technologies means that athletes can be confident they will be comfortable on the court, which is crucial in the unpredictable conditions of Roland Garros.”
