US Open Tennis Fashion! Nike, adidas, Yonex, Wilson, On, NB, FILA... Whose Kit Looks Best?
The 2026 US Open main draw is in full swing! This week, tennis stars have been debuting their new kits. This year's US Open tennis outfits feature higher color saturation and more diverse, bold designs.
Nike
American sports giant Nike's kit series for the 2026 US Open is characterized by a "basketball" design theme, paying homage to New York's basketball culture and legendary players. However, each player's specific kit has its own design focus.
Alcaraz wears the "Cactus Jack" collection, a collaboration between Nike and rapper Travis Scott, featuring brown and white as the main colors. On his feet are the Travis Scott x Nike Vapor 12, predominantly white with brown accents, and the overall look features reversed Nike Swoosh logos.
Sabalenka's kit is a bright orange crew-neck tennis dress with sheer mesh panels, paired with matching shorts underneath, continuing her bold color choices in Nike apparel. During the Fan Week mixed doubles match alongside Djokovic, Sabalenka wore a black-and-white color-blocked sheer mesh dress over a bright orange sports bra and shorts.
Zheng Qinwen's kit features a white and mint green color scheme, with a predominantly white top and black mesh detailing on the back. The skirt is mint green with a fine mesh texture, and the overall design is clean and streamlined, paired with matching Nike Vapor 12 PRM tennis shoes.
Several players, including Andreeva, are wearing blue kits.
adidas
adidas has created three collections for this year's US Open: the "New York Collection," inspired by 90s New York; the "Beyond the Baseline Collection," with a Y2K retro-casual vibe; and "The Classics Collection," paying tribute to timeless styles.

Pegula wears a bordeaux dress with a Y-shaped strap design and a detachable long-sleeve overshirt in the main draw.
Yonex

The brand has created two custom kits for Gauff: one in navy blue paying tribute to the Garment District, and another combining Dawn Glow and Enoki.
