ASICS and A.P.C., two brands with very different DNA, but united by a shared reverence for craftsmanship and quiet confidence.
This new collaboration is a head-to-toe tennis collection that’s as game-ready as it is streetwise.
Launching globally this April ahead of the European tennis season, the ASICS x A.P.C. Tennis Collection is the brand’s first full-fledged foray into courtwear with a design partner.
True to A.P.C.’s hallmark minimalism, the collection dances between crisp whites and oceanic blues, reminiscent of vintage varsity tennis with a whiff of Riviera charm. Under the understated façade lies ASICS’ formidable sports technology; moisture-wicking fabrics, ergonomic cuts, and movement-first tailoring.
Ladies can opt for the sculpted CREW DRESS or the versatile 2-N-1 SHORT and LONGLINE BRA pairing. Gentlemen, meanwhile, are spoilt with the sharply tailored CREW SS TOP and 5IN SHORT.
The KASANE layering technique, a tribute to Japanese textile tradition, makes a quiet statement in the CREW SLEEVELESS TOP and shorts. There’s also the “Enso” – a Zen-inspired circle of unity – subtly woven throughout the range. Even the ASICS logo got a cultural refresh, borrowing from the SHIBORI tie-dye tradition.
And what’s a court look without a killer pair of kicks? The GEL-RESOLUTION™ X and SOLUTION SPEED™ FF 3 get a refined makeover for the court, while off the court, the GEL-KAYANO™ 14 x A.P.C. sneakers carry that same athletic grace into daily errands and coffee runs.
Accessories like the TENNIS CAP, WRISTBAND and COURT+ CREW SOCKS complete the ensemble. The Tote Raquette completes the set, a rakish bag crafted from Japanese organic denim, complete with a racquet-sized front pocket.
“Performance that lifts the spirit” was how Camille Eberhard, Director of Apparel at ASICS, described it. Judith Touitou, A.P.C.’s Creative Director, echoed that sentiment. “We tried to achieve the purest silhouettes possible, to celebrate the grace of movement,” she shared, highlighting the collection’s intention to blend elegance with everyday wearability.
The on-court collection will be worn by a host of top tennis players across the European tour.
Available from April 2025 at www.asics.com/sg/en-sg, www.apcstore.com, and select global retailers – this is one match you’ll want to rally for.
