Maria Sharapova will debut new custom made Nike apparel at the NASDAQ-100 Open tennis tournament in Miami, Florida. The new apparel features a unique Dri-FIT sport corset and skirt that are adapted from Nike's fitness dance collection.

After learning of Maria's interest in Nike's fitness dance collection, Nike designers adapted two key pieces for her to wear on the tennis court. The Nike Speed Corset features a ventilation system in the front and back for breathability to keep her cool while playing in Miami's heat. The black Nike Shimmer Mix Skirt is made of moisture-wicking Dri-FIT fabric and features an adjustable roll top waist that allows for a custom fit. Nike's proprietary, tested and re-tested, moisture-wicking technology, ensuring Nike Dri-FIT helps sustain body temperature by drawing sweat away from the skin and moving it to the outside of the fabric where it quickly evaporates
