(FILA North America – August 17, 2023) – The newest edition of FILA’s iconic Heritage Collection has arrived just in time for the final Grand Slam of the season, with FILA sponsored ATP and WTA players set to sport a mix of classic looks and colors at the biggest tournament on American soil.
Women’s Heritage Collection
The new FILA’s Women’s Heritage collection will be worn by Barbora Krejcikova and Karolina Pliskova, two players who are no stranger to success under the bright lights of New York.
Krejcikova, the reigning women’s doubles champion, will debut two new Heritage kits during the tournament, the first being a FILA Navy-based Heritage Racerback and Heritage Knit Skort Combo. Both pieces are complemented by an elegant Fuschia Purple color pattern seen throughout. The second of Krejcikova’s looks will be another Heritage Racerback Tank, this time pairing with the Heritage Pleated Woven Skort. These two pieces blend together in an eye-catching wavy color scheme that showcases the Women’s Heritage collection’s modern take on classic FILA colors. Krejcikova is pictured below modeling her Wave/FILA Navy Heritage Racerback Tank with a Fuchsia Purple Heritage Pleated Woven Skort.
Pliskova, a former singles finalist in New York, will also sport two unique Heritage looks in New York, with the first being an all-green Heritage Racerback Tank paired with the Heritage Knit Skort. Both pieces feature Pinstripe jersey material, a nod to one of FILA’s signature fashion styles of the past. Pliskova’s second look will pair a FILA Navy/Fuschia Heritage Halter Tank with the Heritage Pleated Woven Skort in the Fuschia Purple colorway modeled by Krejcikova above.
Although unable to compete in New York this year, Shelby Rogers is pictured below modeling some of the Heritage collection’s other signature pieces.

Men’s Heritage Collection
The Men’s Heritage Collection will be worn by John Isner and Diego Schwartzman in New York, each sporting different combinations of the new release that includes three shirts and two shorts.
Isner, a two-time quarterfinalist in New York, will sport the collection’s two polos, the Heritage Colorblock Polo and the Heritage Pin Stripe Polo. Isner’s Colorblock Polo will feature an Ultramarine Green color base with accents of FILA Navy and Ecru around the chest and collar. The Pin Stripe Polo consists of an Ecru base color with drop needle striping and FILA Navy contrast accents, a modern take on a vintage FILA look. The American veteran is pictured below in his Heritage Colorblock Polo paired with a pair of Heritage Woven Shorts in FILA Navy.
Diego Schwartzman will take the court donning two colorways of the Heritage Short Sleeve Crew – the final of the collection’s three shirts.
