Jasmine Tang From swimsuits to skincare, Naomi Osaka has been taking swings at various off-the-court ventures. The world of sneakers—specifically via a partnership with Nike—has also been one of the areas the four-time Grand Slam singles champion has been lending her creative vision. After decorating the Nike Vapor Jet Drum Mini with traditional Japanese motifs and some personal touches, Osaka returns to wrap the tennis shoe in cool-toned prints and Swarovski crystals.
The model primarily consists of a mesh base in a Dusty Amethyst tie-dye pattern. The purple also colors the overlay on the medial side’s reinforced toe box and the midsole piece at the forefoot of the lateral side. Down the tongue and near the lace loops, the branded, teal overlays flaunt an iridescent finish for added flair. The shimmer continues as the lateral side’s Swoosh and Osaka’s logo on the heel are covered in Swarovski crystals. Finished with a full-length Zoom Air unit, the design is a grand slam that mixes fun and luxury, delivered by the tennis superstar.
