Too bad. That dark green shirt he had was awesome.

I wanted that black cap.

Given the shoes, wonder if he signs with Nike when UQ deal is up.

They are going to be available according to the Uniqlo website. The green version of the shirt has already been available by the looks of it. The white one might not be far behind.

Actually, the kit was available for purchase, sort of. On the Japanese site there was link to make a reservation for the whole kit, i.e. not just the polo or just the shorts. The scheduled shipment is September.

So,

1) I don't know why they chose this kind of distribution (maybe it'll be a limited production)
2) I don't know about the U.S. website - I didn't see anything about the actual French Open polos (green or white version)
3) I said what the heck and placed a reservation (I have family in Japan)
3a) I actually think the green polo with the green shorts is a pretty awful combo but the green polo with black or white shorts and the green shorts with a different white top will look nice

Now Uniqlo has Kei's Wimbledon kit on its U.S. and Japanese site. So I really have no idea for the reasoning behind the distribution of his French Open kit.

My local Uniqlo has closed, and apparently so are a bunch of others. Maybe they don't like the US anymore? /s

1 month ago there were plenty of them on Uniqlo Japan.

His 2017 French Open outfits were never for sale on the Uniqlo sites.

Is Uniqlo trying to pull a Head and won't sell what their players wear?

Well, at least they have his Wimbledon stuff on there. But it's kinda hard to get excited about Wimbledon color themes. Apparently his French Open kit was designed by some fashion designer named Christophe Lemaire. I don't know much about the fashion world, but it does appear this edition will be limited in some fashion (no pun intended ).

Yep, limited fashion; you said it all...

What's next for Uniqlo?
