It’s not easy to reference grass tennis courts in an all-white outfit, but Nike has done so successfully with its 2026 London collection. The WTA styles set to be worn at the Championships feature subtle hints of green inspired by the iconic grass courts, while delicate satin stripes in varying shades of white evoke the look of a freshly mown lawn.

In the promo photos, Zheng Qinwen and Mirra Andreeva are wearing the Nike Women’s Summer London Slam Tank and Skirt. On closer inspection, it becomes clear that Nike designers have hit the nail on the head with these new pieces.
The ribbed V-neckline gives the outfit a traditional feel, while the subtle green stripe adds just enough color and serves as a refined reference to the most iconic grass courts in tennis. From the back, the tank features a lower cutout, adding a modern, athletic edge. As previously noted, the tonal textural stripes subtly echo the look of a freshly mown lawn, referencing the tennis tournament and possibly even the ongoing soccer competition. The NikeCourt logo completes the design.

At first glance, the Summer London Slam Skirt appears minimal, but it reveals a more playful character with its curved hem and side pleating, giving it movement and a flirty finish.
This look is also available as a dress, the Nike Summer London Slam Dress.
Another dress in the collection is Naomi Osaka’s, but it’s totally different, with floral appliqué embellishments and micro-pleating elements.
Besides the apparel, Nike also offers matching accessories such as wristbands and a head tie, a crop T-shirt in white and green, and a distinctive NikeCourt scarf inspired by soccer.
When it comes to shoes, the white upper is contrasted with a green Swoosh.
