Late last month, we gave you a sneak peek at Naomi Osaka’s monochromatic outfits for the upcoming US Open. We later learned that the designs draw inspiration from basketball, which serves as the overarching theme for Nike’s New York collection. Now that Osaka’s latest pieces are available for purchase, we can take a closer look.
The first item that immediately catches the eye is the metallic Nike Women’s Fall NO Skirt, available in both black and silver. Honestly, I don’t immediately see the basketball connection here, even though the open mesh layer peeking out underneath is apparently meant to evoke the sport. To me, the overall effect feels much more futuristic. Precisely, the kind of metallic, robotic vision of the future we imagined back in the ’90s.
The skirt’s outer layer does look a bit heavy at first glance, but Nike promises its Dri-FIT technology will provide sweat-wicking performance on court.
Osaka’s new dress is a sleeveless design featuring a stand-up collar with a half-zip front and a two-tiered pleated skirt. The lower layer extends longer and features denser, micro pleats.
The jacket is an an oversized bomber-style design with a slightly edgy, motorcycle-meets-streetwear vibe. A ruffle-like detail adds volume at the shoulder, while the asymmetric front features an overlay panel secured with snap closures.
Matching the aesthetic, Osaka’s shoes are black, with contrasting silver “NYC” lettering on the inner side, marking the tournament where she will wear them.

The black jacket is great, but the white dress is very reminscent of something Serena wore to Wimbledon a few years back. The white dress also looks too long. Osaka usually has a unique detail that is not released to the public too, so will be interesting to see her on court walk out.
