US Open Men's Pro Looks

We're closing in fast on the end of the tennis season with the US Open on the horizon. Pro players and sporting companies alike have one last Grand Slam event to show the world their full potential. While the US Open may not have fancy court surfaces or brutal weather conditions like the other major events abroad, this means that the New York courts are the place to show off pure, unadulterated skill. If you're looking to see what the pro men's players are bringing to the courts, then you've come to the right place.

Brand: Nike

Nike is not only one of the most recognizable brands on the planet, they're also a sponsor of 2 of the most prominent rising stars in tennis: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. The US Open collection takes cues from Nike's dealings in another major sport, incorporating basketball-styled themes to merge the two sports.

Apparel

Playing on the rivalry between Alcaraz and Sinner, the two key looks take contrasting approaches to representing basketball fashion. Sinner's style pays homage to heritage expression, using clean cuts and trim for a timeless look. Alcaraz's fit goes for the contemporary approach, using exuberant colors on street-ready cuts. The throwback to the classic Raptors color scheme is also a nice touch. As always, Nike athletes rely on the signature Dri-FIT technology that sets the industry standard for moisture-wicking relief.

Footwear

The Zoom GP Challenge lives up to its name, utilizing support to enable swift movements. A midfoot plate in the shoe improves stability while simultaneously acting as a miniature launch pad for quick directional changes. As Sinner represents the Zoom GP Challenge, Alcaraz will wear the New York Vapor Zoom 12 to the US Open. The Vapor Zoom delivers speed without compromising comfort, with its midsole acting as a cradle that keeps your feet feeling steady even with aggressive footwork. If you want to see Sinner's complete set of tennis gear, be sure to read about what gear Jannik Sinner plays with to get the full breakdown of his racquets and string setup as well.

Adidas

Adidas is the proud sponsor of fan favorites like Stefanos Tsitsipas and rising superstars like Jaume Munar. Their New York collection takes inspiration from hip-hop culture and 90s glam to create a range that encapsulates NYC's diverse populace.

Apparel

The Adidas New York collection includes a new iteration of the Freelift 3D shirts, which were a runaway success among players and fans alike. With a practical, futuristic design, the Freelift 3D series features textured clothing that provides advanced cooling properties. Also coming to the lineup are a series of oversized shirts and sleeveless tops, which invoke the urban and hip-hop fashions of the New York streets. Breathable, roomy designs give players the berth they need to perform at the highest level. Meanwhile, the Ergo shorts set the Adidas standard, offering a tried-and-true design with a hint of 90s-inspired glam for the New York courts.

Footwear

Take solace with the Barricade 14, a reliable and steady shoe that offers unmatched durability and stability. The dark wine-colored outsole is a rich color that's pleasing to the eye and takes inspiration from the speakeasies you can retreat to for relaxation. In contrast, the Adizero Ubersonic 5 offers a vibrant tone to match its speedy design. Adidas knows that tennis is a mental game, so getting the right footwear to match your mood is key to success.

Brand: New Balance

New Balance proves they're more than you're dad's favorite brand. In addition to the WTA superstar Coco Gauff, men's pros such as Milos Raonic and Tommy Paul also sport the NB brand on the court. 

Apparel

The Tournament NYC series represents New Balance's latest effort to continuously improve their already stellar production. Built with a new and innovative fabric, the Tournament NYC top responds to an athlete's body temperature in real time to provide dynamic cooling and sweat-wicking relief. The NYC Tournament shorts in turn feature a diamond taffeta weave that facilitates airflow for a more breathable design.

Footwear

When it comes to stability, none can beat the Fresh Foam X CT-Rally V2. Worn by the likes of Tommy Paul on the court, this shoe takes the precision engineering of a rally car and provides rock-solid stability and grip for the hard courts. Advanced heel support and additional midfoot security provide a solid base to keep players steady as they deliver devastating swings from the baseline. The Coco Delray, meanwhile, is a more versatile shoe that has a lightweight yet durable construction and a low-cut ankle collar for greater mobility. Its 90s-inspired aesthetic is perfect for rising superstars like the namesake Coco Gauff.

Brand: Lacoste

Between Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev, and Grigor Dimitrov, Lacoste has a whole host of amazing players representing the French croc. With other talents like Ugo Humbert as well, Lacoste is a respectable brand that more than lives up to its legacy as a tennis fashion icon.

Apparel

24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic returns to the court in the iconic Novak polo and shorts combination. Beneath its simple design belies high-performance tech, including Ultra Dry technology and UV-blocking fabrics. The Novak shorts meanwhile are made with flexible materials, including a specialized panel in the inner legs and slits on the sides to maximize mobility. Bring out the Novak Tracksuit set when it's time to train, with a diamond weave taffeta pattern to promote breathability.

From the Daniil Medvedev collection, we have his signature polo. The contrasting details here aren't just for show, they highlight the advanced tailoring techniques used to optimize mobility while maintaining a sleek profile. The Players' Shorts are worn across all other Lacoste-sponsored athletes, using stretchy, technical woven fabrics to bring out their best game. Grigor Dimitrov among others can be spotted with the Players' Polo, a shirt that pays homage to Lacoste's legacy with its crocodile skin-inspired pattern.
