2013 Nike Spring Collection

	Bring on the warm, sunny weather this season with the new Spring Collection from Nike. Just in time for the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, Nike’s latest apparel and shoes offer a fresh set of colors to brighten up your on-court wardrobe. Let’s take a look at these new styles worn by top players, including Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Maria Sharapova, and Serena Williams.
At Indian Wells, we’ll see Roger Federer playing in the Nike Premier RF Tennis Polo in a masculine, deep royal blue color. Made with Dri-Fit technology and built-in UV protection, this zipper polo offers a classic style with high performance features, like a mesh back panel for better ventilation and breathability. Orange accents outlining the zipper placket and RF logo match with Fed’s famous Nike Zoom Vapor 9 Tour Tennis Shoes in white and team orange. These high performing and lightweight shoes have Nike’s most advanced technologies, which include Adaptive Fit for impressive stability and a perfect fit for your foot. The Nike Zoom unit in the heel also provides great response and cushioning against impact. Federer will also be wearing the Nike Premier 8-inch Woven Tennis Shorts in Pure Platinum to pair with his RF Polo and Zoom Vapor 9s. The Premier Shorts are made of comfortable, stretch Dri-Fit fabric for a better range of motion on court.
	Rafael Nadal looks super cool in his Teal Nike Premier Rafa Tennis Crew, featuring a bright Volt contrasting inset along the neckline for a pop of color. This shirt is made with Dri-Fit UV technology and features Volt-colored laser cut vent holes on the back for extra breathabiltiy. To match, Rafa is wearing the Nike Premier 8-Inch Woven Tennis Shorts in Stadium Grey, making the bright colors of his shirt and shoes stand out even more. To complete his outfit, Nadal will show off his Nike Air Max Courtballistec 4.3 Tennis Shoes in white, black, and volt. These shoes offer flexibility and a light weight, but are still durable with great comfort from its Lunarlon and Max Air Heel technologies.
Maria Sharapova is sure to impress wearing her Nike Premier Maria Tennis Dress. With the same design as her outfit at the Australian Open a couple months ago, this dress has been updated with new spring colors—a soft Fiberglass green and more bold Atomic Teal. Featuring comfortable stretch Dri-Fit fabric with a unique racerback construction, the Premier Maria dress is a stylish choice with its contrasting Cool Grey paneling and teal accenting design under the bust. Maria’s Nike Zoom Vapor 9 Tours complete her outfit. Featuring the same Fiberglass color with Anthracite on the laces and heel, these tennis shoes have been redesigned for women tennis players and engineered with Nike Zoom technology for comfort and light weight performance.
	Serena Williams may not be playing at Indian Wells, but she has still updated her tennis wardrobe for this spring season. Her next outfit will include the Nike Pleated Knit Tennis Dress. Though it is the same style as her royal purple dress from the Australian Open, this season’s Pleated Knit Dress is more brightly colored with its springy blues and greens. This high performance dress is super cute and fun, featuring a flattering scoop neckline, flirty pleats at the skirt, and Nike Sphere mesh panels at the waist for ultimate cooling. Serena is paring this dress with the Pure Platinum and Fiberglass Nike Air Max Cage Tennis Shoes to match her brightly colored dress. These shoes feature lots of technologies to ensure high performance on court, including Drag-On for durability and Max Air in the heel for comfort and impact protection.
