The NikeCourt Serena Williams ‘Greatness’ Collection will celebrate her greatness on the court and is another release from Nike for the U.S. Open.
From Nike:
While the inspiration for the collection comes from Williams, its instigation came from NIKE, Inc. President and CEO Mark Parker. Parker has worked closely with Williams over the years; he considers her both a colleague and a friend. Relying on his firsthand knowledge of Williams’ taste in style and design, Parker guided the design team to create items that accurately capture her personality.
The Greatness Collection features three footwear silhouettes: the NikeCourt Flare, NikeCourt Air Max 1 Ultra and NikeCourt Roshe LD-1000. Each shoe features a juxtaposition of Nike Safari and marble prints. The former connects to both Nike DNA and Williams’ penchant for animal prints, while the latter symbolizes her strength.
The NikeCourt Roshe LD-1000, NikeCourt Air Max 1 Ultra and NikeCourt Flare all feature a similar theme across the uppers with shades of white, black and green. Added is a black leather swoosh and other details. For example the Air Max 1 Ultra uses leather on the mudguard while the Roshe LD-1000 has a hint on the heel.
The Nike Serena Williams ‘Greatness’ Collection will release later today, August 27th, 2015. Check out more images of the trio below as well as their corresponding retail prices.
