There’s a new high-fashion sports collab in town, and it’s serving serious court-side chic! Asics and Parisian fashion powerhouse A.P.C. have joined forces to launch a tennis collection just in time for the European part of the WTA season. We have the first images of Belinda Bencic and Beatriz Haddad Maia modeling the new designs.
This is Asics’ first-ever full tennis collaboration, blending the brand’s high-performance tech with A.P.C.’s signature monochromatic aesthetic. The result? A unisex look and feel lineup in crisp blue and white, combining minimalist design with a nostalgic ‘70s prep twist and classic A.P.C. silhouettes.
Tennis collection with Japanese-inspired details
The 20-piece on-court collection merges Asics’ unbeatable athletic innovation with A.P.C.’s razor-sharp tailoring. For the ladies, standout pieces include the Crew Dress, the Crew Sleeveless Top, the Longline Bra, and the 7in Sprinter Shorts. Meanwhile, the gents can serve looks in the Crew Sleeveless Top and 5in Shorts—all designed to keep players at the top of their game (while looking like they stepped off a runway).
But the real magic? Japanese-inspired details incorporated in select pieces. The “KASANE” technique (a nod to the art of layering) adds subtle wrap accents, while the “Enso” motif—a Zen circle symbolizing unity—appears as a chic graphic touch. Even the Asics logo gets a luxe makeover, inspired by traditional Japanese shibori tie-dye.
And let’s talk kicks—because no outfit is complete without them. The collab drops two exclusive sneakers: the Gel Resolution X x A.P.C. and Solution Speed FF 3 x A.P.C., plus accessories like the Tennis Cap and Court+ Crew Socks.
The 30-piece off-court collection that nails post-match Style
Off-court? When they’re not smashing forehands, players can slip into the 30-piece off-court collection, curated by A.P.C.’s creative director Judith Touitou. Think effortless Parisian ease with a sporty edge—complete with the must-have GEL-KAYANO™ 14 x A.P.C. sneakers and the Tote Raquette (a chic denim tote with a pocket specially designed for a tennis racket—très genius).
Asics’ top athletes will be rocking these outfits at the upcoming tournaments in Europe. Alongside Bencic and Haddad Maia, WTA players like Eva Lys, Caroline Dolehide, Jasmine Paolini, Olivia Gadecki, Rebeka Masarova, and Harriet Dart will be flaunting the looks.
Drop date: April 5, 2025. Worldwide.

Asics never succeeded to impress me, their designs are always too sporty and bad.
Nothing glamour abt it.
All i can say is their shoes are comfortable though, but designs are some of the worst.
