Nike 2024 General Thread

[mpournaras]

The armory navy color, which resembles Federer's '03 Australian Open shirt, shows some pink on the collar on the Tennis Warehouse pictures.. Can anyone confirm if the TW picture is accurate?

The crew? Other sites do not have it with pink on the collar

Nike stocks up over 7% today with CEO change.

If the new CEO/President doesn’t boost Nike Court/Tennis to the moon, we’ll riot

I remember UNIQLO once did something similar for Federer in 2019 French open and people here obviously had same comments. But because that was a shirt actually worn by Federe, it still sold out.

 

[Babolast]

Some of you need to grow up with the poop jokes. They are old and tiresome.

Alcaraz is wearing an all-blue version of the 22/23 u/v-neck crew at Laver Cup. Good to see the GOAT crew top making a posthumous appearance

It really is a nice crew. I have the Alcaraz IW23 pink one, incredible design and some really nice function. I wish it was a touch thicker

A couple of other Uniqlo designs produced a productive run but they haven’t been as flushed with success since.

That's like one of the only ones I didn't buy lol. They are very nice, that was one of his better fits with the shorts. Can't remember if they were Coconut Milk or Alabaster but that was a great look

I have a lot of tops but these are the ones I always reach for first. I wore the tan/purple Tiafoe one with the parachute shorts from the 2021 AO a few weeks back and this woman from the doubles court next to me had some really nice things to say about it (she was older and not hot or anything but was still nice to hear)

One silver lining to the removal of a business segment Nike tennis design teams is the shared knowledge from other areas. A lot of the alacraz/sinner tops resemble the general prevailing Nike apparel design theory. Just got the cincy alcaraz - which to me has a really nice neckline, sleeve piping, and general color palette. The crews this year have been really solid. In general apparel has been solid

The photoshop job is hilarious.

I miss the old days when they just photoshopped outfits on Rafa and Roger each season

WAIT, THEY CAME OUT IN OTHER COLORS OTHER THAN WHITE?
Do you by chance have links + style codes?

I got them through an industry connection, you won't be able to find them.

Sorry if my question is silly: what is KITH? I know they had a collaboration with Tag Heuer and everyone in the watch hobby laughed their pants off. They were called a t-shirt brand and I'm not sure what that means? They make their own t-shirts, like H&M or Uniqlo?

They're a hypebeast brand, Supreme would be a better analogy or something slightly less well known like Off White

 

[arthurli22]

Yeah, pretty much, their marketing strategy is also drawing reference from the old Supreme era before its take over. Basically doing collabs with sneaker brands and other things.

Blue Void

I plan to touch the void.

 

[innoVAShaun]

@innoVAShaun btw, did you get that side swoosh hat? Hows the quality?

It's the same quality as the Core Advantage hat. The bill is a bit smaller to my liking, but I do wear my cap backwards unless it's extremely sunny out.

I definitely prefer the Featherlight hats.

High end collaboration store with limited edition collections. They began to grow in tennis with Fed's RF19 campaign in 2017 marketing his Vapor AJ3s. Kith has also done On The Roger collabs as well.

Thanks for sharing with me all the info. In the watch world they were laughed at so I was surprised to see nike embracing them. I guess they target different consumers.

 

[innoVAShaun]

I just did a search and the Kith store has been mentioned here on TTW since 2014.

It’s giving me more Florida Gators vibes to me which I don’t like…sorry not trying to talk college football politics

 

[Rosstour]

Why wouldn't they do the blue/orange for the USO to play on the home crowd's heartstrings? Makes zero sense

My wife is from NYC so that's my thought process for those colors.

 

[teckid]

Don't mind the blue orange combo but they need to move on from the white mesh toe areas trend, it's about the worst thing you can do for a tennis shoe, it looks destroyed after like 3 sessions. That color blocking also makes the GPC1 and the VP2 look really long on foot, especially with a crew height white sock.

Kith has an easy but incredibly influential connection to tennis - the COO is Paul Annacone’s son, Nick.

@Babolast this winter 24 range is incredible. Wish this was Spring 25 apparel-wise. Would have been awesome to have Carlos / Sinner wear the Fed inspired crew. Then the fresh green frost layered in across the rest of the Nikes male roster, would have been a nice January feel and complimented the Melbourne courts

Could not agree more!

Cool, what makes this store special, it's a genuine question as I don't live in US anymore?

 

[innoVAShaun]

There's a Kith in Tokyo too.

The AO25 line is straight doo-doo.

I've now seen the pictures of this crew.

It barely resembles Fed's 2003 crew from Indian Wells.

Like a poor man's version of it.

Nike still has that crappy looking ringlet around the neck area and the sleeves once again are too short.

The blue Nike polo, that I saw looks 5 times better.

Winter 2024 is a step up from the spring 2024 collection.

I will give you that.

We're starting to head back in the direction of actually wanting to buy from this company again.
