NikeCourt 2025 US Open Collection: What Nike’s ATP Tour & WTA Tour Stars Will Wear in New York
Nike returns to Flushing Meadows with a NikeCourt 2025 US Open collection built for sticky New York nights, blistering day sessions, and five-set epics. Expect high-breathability knits, recycled performance yarns, and aggressive hard-court traction underfoot—gear that’s engineered for the speed and physicality of today’s ATP Tour and WTA Tour.
Below, we break down the lineup—silhouettes, tech stories, footwear, and how to choose the right pieces for your own hard-court grind.
Star players like Jannik Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka, Carlos Alcaraz, Emma Raducanu, Holger Rune, Anna Kalinskaya, Karen Khachanov and Anastasia Potapova will look to light up the New York Skyline with their latest collection.
The Design Story: NYC at Night (and in Heat)
New York rewards the bold. Nike leans into that ethos with a palette that contrasts city-deep navies and charcoals with high-voltage neons—a visual cue you’ll spot instantly on television. The cuts are streamlined (think: zero flapping fabric, nothing extra to catch wind) and laser-perforated ventilation lands exactly where players need to dump heat fast.

Tops: Polo, Crew, and Sleeveless Options
Expect ergonomic shoulder lines for unrestricted serves and forehands, with Nike Dri-FIT ADV doing the heavy lifting in moisture management. The crew and sleeveless versions give baseliners and all-courters different airflow options, while the polo stays classic for the players who want that New York evening polish.
Shorts: Lightweight, Secure, Match-Ready
Look for lightweight 2-way stretch with deep, structured ball pockets that don’t collapse mid-rally. Waistbands are soft, grippy, and secure—ideal for long matches when you don’t want to think about readjusting.

Slam Dress & Separates
The Slam Dress returns with strategic mesh zones, a racerback profile for total shoulder mobility, and a sculpted hem that keeps everything moving naturally during open-stance defending or full-stretch recoveries. Prefer separates? Expect high-waisted skirts with integrated shorts and precision-cut performance tanks that mirror the men’s fabrication story, delivering the same Dri-FIT ADV moisture control.
Footwear: Built for Concrete
NikeCourt Air Zoom Vapor 12
New to the line up in 2025, the Vapor 12 brings forth a nostalgic look into the peak era of the Vapor franchise, which was evident with the Vapor 9, 9.5 and X models. Built to withstand the longest matches in NYC, Alcaraz will sport the latest colour of this top-tier sneaker.
NikeCourt Zoom Vapor Pro 3
A go-to on the ATP Tour and WTA Tour for players who want fast transitions, low-to-the-court responsiveness, and dependable torsional support. Expect a durable herringbone outsole pattern optimized for the US Open’s gritty acrylic surface.
Nike Zoom GP Challenge 1
This frame prioritizes lateral stability and lockdown for aggressive movers and counterpunchers. If you’re sliding, cutting, and re-directing pace from deep behind the baseline, this is likely the more secure-feeling option.
(Expect color-blocked executions aligned to the apparel palette, with both day and night-session makeups.)
- Slim-athletic through the torso on most tops—size up if you like more airflow.
- True-to-size skirts and dresses, but consider your preferred compression level in the built-in short.
- Shoes: Vapor Pro 2 skews slightly narrow; GP Challenge 1 offers a more accommodating midfoot wrap for wider feet.
Sustainability Callout
Nike continues to incorporate recycled polyester yarns and solution-dyed fabrics to reduce water usage and emissions, while maintaining tour-grade performance demands.
How to Choose Between the Key Shoes
- You’re a speed-first attacker who wants to feel every millimeter of the court? Go Vapor Pro 2.
- You plant hard, cut harder, and live on counterpunching? The GP Challenge 1 will give you that extra stabilizing bite.
Buying Guide: What to Prioritize for Hard Courts
- Outsole durability: Look for a defined, dense rubber pattern. NYC concrete is unforgiving.
- Midfoot support: Five-set nights require torsional stability to keep the ankles happy.
- Ventilation mapping: Late August humidity in Queens punishes heavy, non-breathable tops.
- Ball pocket structure: On the men’s side, deeper, firmer pockets save time and focus under pressure.
- Night session visibility: If you’re playing under lights, neon accents genuinely help visibility in quick exchanges.

The NikeCourt 2025 US Open collection is built for the modern pace, power, and athleticism of the ATP Tour and WTA Tour. Whether you’re taking it to league night or prepping for a late-summer tournament, this lineup gives you breathable fabrics, hard-court-ready traction, and cuts that move with you—not against you.
