London Calling: Adidas releases FW23 London Collection for the grass court season

WATCH: Highlights of Alexander Zverev's win over Denis Shapovalov

One of the notable aspects of an Adidas Grand Slam collection is the apparel often pays homage to the tournament’s location and heritage. For Roland Garros, the prints and designs of its Paris capsule reflected the unique look and playing characteristics of clay court tennis. For its latest drop, the FW23 London Collection, the high-performance wear takes inspiration from the single pleating and seersucker fabrics favored by the city’s tailors. The 14-piece collection consists of t-shirts, polos, dresses, jackets, skirts and shorts.

In keeping with Wimbledon tradition, the collection has a predominantly white color palette, with accents of lucid lemon and lucid lemon. To make sure the garments can withstand the demands of Grand Slam competition, Aeroready technology—moisture-wicking and absorbent materials to keep sweat away from the body—is used throughout the entire line. Key pieces also feature increased pattern efficiency technology, a tailoring technique that minimizes fabric waste.

The Adidas London Collection is currently available at retailers, including TennisShop.com. Here are some of the key pieces being worn during the grass court season by Adidas touring pros:

Felix Auger Aliassime wears the Seamless Aeroready T-Shirt Pro ($80) which features a monochrome textured geometric print, two-colored striping at the upper back and open holes and ventilated structures. His Seersucker Aeroready 2-in-1 Short ($80) puts the summer fabric to good use with alternating tight and loose-tension yarns to create a puckered surface.

Maria Sakkari will do battle in the Seamless Y Tank Pro ($70). The racerback design both flatters and allows unrestricted movement when performing strokes. She matches it with the Aeroready Pleated Skirt ($75), which also has seamless construction, raised jacquard patterning and built-in ball shorts.

Stefanos Tsitsipas sports the Aeroready Freelift Tee ($80). Technical Heraldry artwork—a nod to gate designs at sporting venues and artisan crafts from around the world—give this shirt a unique, textured print. He will also compete in the Aeroready Pro Short ($70), which has an inner gusset for added freedom of movement.

Xinyu Wang plays in the Aeroready Pro Dress ($130). The slim-fitting, drape cut dress has designs inspired by the grid patterns found in tennis—nets, racquets and court lines—and comes with built-in ball shorts.

Alexander Zverev is in the Aeroready Freelift Polo ($85). It’s made with a raised jacquard pique material, asymmetrical back shoulder paneling and a no-button placket. He pairs it with the Aeroready Pro Short ($70) that is made with recycled polyester in a glossy, satin weave.
