A sneaker styled in tribute to Andre Agassi is expected to debut during the US Open, reviving one of his most memorable looks. The International Tennis Hall of Famer is reportedly receiving an Air Jordan 7 ‘Tennis Day’ that channels his vintage Air Tech Challenge 2 design.

Reports describe the colorway as Phantom/Lemon Twist/Pink Blast/Anthracite. Official information is limited, but a newly circulated visual mock-up suggests the shoe will reference the popping pink outfit Agassi wore to reach his first Grand Slam final in Paris in 1990.

The release is timed to coincide with the US Open, a tournament Agassi won twice, and the reported design connects a modern Air Jordan 7 to the player’s on-court style from that era. While details remain sparse, the mock-up and color notes frame the sneaker as a clear nod to that distinctive ensemble.

Agassi has spoken about that Roland Garros kit, calling it one of his favorites and recalling how his black denim shorts, hot-pink tights, matching pink-print top and headband, and sneakers drew criticism at the 1990 tournament. The criticism came from Philippe Chatrier, who was also the head of the French tennis federation and the International Tennis Federation president at Roland Garros in 1990.

“At the time, [he] was thinking about bringing in a dress code,” Agassi recalled, “so I did what any noble person would do and I called him a bozo in the press conference. That was a little bit regrettable, but it was an honest reaction to someone telling me what I had to wear.”

Until an official announcement confirms construction, materials and availability, the connection between the Air Jordan 7 ‘Tennis Day’ and Agassi’s 1990 look rests on mock-ups and reports. The stated timing during the US Open and the specific Phantom/Lemon Twist/Pink Blast/Anthracite colorway position the shoe as a nostalgic tribute to a defining fashion moment in Agassi’s career.

Wilson has expanded its Tennis 360 program with a class of six new head-to-toe athletes ahead of the Australian Open, led by world No. 6 Alex de Minaur. The announcement adds Karen Khachanov, Jiří Lehečka, Anastasia Potapova, Colton Smith and Sarah Rakotomanga to the initiative. All six already compete with Wilson racquets.

“Wilson has been part of my tennis journey since I can remember,” De Minaur says. “I’ve always loved playing with their racquets, and it feels very special to now represent them from head to toe.”

The brand introduced Tennis 360 in 2023 with Marta Kostyuk, and the roster has grown to 16 athletes who represent Wilson from head to hand to toe. Each signing receives a fully customized kit tailored to their needs and will work with Wilson’s research and development team to help shape future product launches across sportswear, footwear and racquets.

“I love the look and feel of the brand, and the way they bring their kits to life is incredible. I am excited to continue working with Wilson to build upon their legacy and the momentum of the industry at large.”

“Wilson has been in the game for over a century and remains obsessively curious and dedicated to innovating for today’s stars and tomorrow’s legends,” says Gordon Devin, General Manager of Softgoods at Wilson. “We are committed to seeing our athletes thrive, and by building upon our Tennis 360 roster, we are empowering our athletes to compete and win in style.”

Kostyuk has played a central role in shaping Wilson’s sportswear and footwear design, including the Wilson Intrigue, the brand’s first women’s-only shoe, which launched in 2025. Victoria Mboko also enjoyed a breakout year with Wilson, jumping from No. 300 to No. 18 in 2025.

Wilson’s involvement in tennis extends beyond its athlete roster. The brand maintains longstanding racquet partnerships with Roger Federer and Aryna Sabalenka, and serves as the official ball of both Roland Garros and the US Open.

Emma Raducanu acknowledged her preparation was hampered by a persistent foot injury after her 2026 season debut at the United Cup ended in a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 defeat to Maria Sakkari. The result eliminated Great Britain from knockout stage contention and followed Raducanu’s withdrawal from her earlier scheduled match against Naomi Osaka.

Raducanu described the match as a significant effort given her restricted off-season training. “Considering I played five, six games in practice, it is a big effort for me,” Raducanu said in the team’s post-match press conference.

“Really proud of how I kind of put myself out there, despite the scenario and situation. Also playing against Maria, who was playing really, really well. She also has a match under her belt, big win against Naomi.

“Yeah, to produce that level just by the circumstances, I have to be proud of even if it’s very difficult right now.”

After years of injuries, Raducanu enjoyed a strong return in 2025, cutting her ranking in half to finish inside the Top 30, helped by a Miami Open quarterfinal and three Grand Slam third-round showings. She worked with Francisco Roig last season and at Cincinnati pushed world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka to a final-set tiebreaker.

Raducanu said her on-court work only resumed recently and that she plans to compete at the Hobart International next week. “I started hitting two weeks ago,” revealed Raducanu, who intends to compete at the Hobart International next week, “so it’s been a good two and a bit months where I didn’t play. I did fitness. When I spoke to you I was doing fitness, started that.

“Yeah, it’s been difficult to kind of increase the load and add the unpredictability of the tennis. I think today, being able to produce that, having not played, is just giving me confidence to what I can do when I do practice more. I know now I just need to get my head down, keep working.”

She also experimented with a different racquet over the off-season but reverted for the match. “In a racquet, I probably was looking for a bit more power, a bit more help and miles per hour on the ball, especially when it gets so heavy like it can in the evenings and with the balls,” said Raducanu, who was seen experimenting with a Yonex racquet.

“I was just trying that out. This one didn’t work. Yeah, probably now I’ll just stick to this until I have another gap in the season.”
