Nike is stepping into the 2025 season with the new Melbourne collection just in time for the Australian Open that begins on January 12. Inspired by the lively spirit of Melbourne’s beaches, this collection showcases energizing colors and intricate tonal knit textures.
Dominated by light teal and vibrant yellow, these new tennis outfits will be worn by Aryna Sabalenka, Zheng Qinwen, Paula Badosa, Madison Keys, and other players sporting the iconic Swoosh at the year’s first Grand Slam. Let’s dive into the details of this exciting release!
The Nike Women’s Spring Melbourne Dress is a standout piece available in two striking color combinations—mineral teal/faded spruce/white and luminous green/high voltage/medium ash. Its contrast cami overlay creates a layered, fashionable look, while engineered mesh zones ensure optimal ventilation to keep players cool during intense matches.
Featuring Nike’s signature Dri-FIT technology, the dress effectively wicks away sweat for lasting comfort. Made from a blend of 90% polyester and 10% elastane, it incorporates at least 75% recycled polyester fibers, reflecting Nike’s commitment to sustainability.
For WTA players who prefer separates, the collection offers a subtly printed racerback tank available in various colors. This versatile piece can be paired with either a pleated skirt for a classic look or a skort that combines a wrap skirt in the front while revealing practical shorts at the back.
The Nike Women’s Spring Melbourne Tank is a classic racerback design featuring a subtle print that adds a touch of texture and style, while the contrasting white accents along the armholes and shoulders enhance its visual appeal.
The matching Nike Women’s Spring Melbourne Skort features a wrap skirt look in front with shorts in the back. It has an elastic waistband with back venting, darts for a flattering fit, and built-in shorties for ball storage. Additional features include Dri-FIT technology, contrast trims, and a Swoosh at the left hem.
For casual wear or practice, the Nike Women’s Spring Melbourne Court T-Shirt offers a loose fit with a cotton-blend fabric and Dri-FIT moisture-wicking performance. It also features a tennis racquets graphic on the front. This tee comes in mineral teal (shown in the picture), white, and luminous green.
Nike also offers tennis shoe models in matching colorways for the Australian Open. Check out a few styles below.

“Energising colours”?????? Not doing anything for me!
CLT, I think these outfits definitely bring summer, energizing vibes with their sea-inspired colors—especially the vibrant yellow pieces and the soft, breezy teal.
Whats up with that spaghetty stripe croptop dangling on the dress?
Its as if Nike was like, this dress is too similar to the ones that we designed for th P2Y, lets add something, how bout we just put on this spaghetti stripes crop top…
Definitely a missed!!
However i like the khaki brown top n skirt, the color is really bold compare the yellow ones.
The spaghetti strap overlay on the dress is so random—it doesn’t add anything functional or stylish. It’s like they were trying too hard to be different, but lacked inspiration. The engineered mesh zones are a great touch for functionality.
It feels like Nike is dialing back its investment in women’s tennis. These designs are fine, but they lack the wow factor we expect for a Grand Slam collection. Maybe Nike doesn’t see enough star power in the current WTA lineup to go all out? Disappointing effort for such a big stage.
So first day of the open- Mirra wore the green dress with the tank feature. Looks awful, and Mirra deserves better.
Zheng is wearing the dark brown pleated skirt, with matching tank. Boring, unoriginal and a complete disappointment.
On the other hand, Leylah looks fantastic in her pink seperates.
Karo, Mirra’s dress is a nod to millennial fashion when we layered tops. 😀
I think the lighter colored version of this like the light on light that Mirra wore look good. The dark on light and light on dark look like something a first year fashion student would have drafted up. Lets just hope that Nike improves their designs. I feel like after Maria Sharapova left I’m not longer as excited to see what people wear at the grand slams. Maria, Caro, Serena and Venus were the only reasons people cared about tennis fashion. No one has been able to replicate that.
Ivona- Yes, that is so true! The little cami tank over a fitted top. Nike didn’t do it justice, though. Was better in the 90’s and the 00’s.
Chesko, the thing is that the star players you mentioned led women’s tennis fashion but the golden era was more than that — remember Ana Ivanovic’s Adidas dresses, Aga Radwanska’s Lotto dresses, even Jelena Jankovic was very interesting with different sponsors, most notably Fila. Not to mention Camila Giorgi… Today, I don’t think the fashion is bad at all, but there is apparently something missing, the X factor.
