In a couple of weeks, FILA will debut two stunning new tennis collections on the clay courts of Roland Garros. The men’s Legend and women’s Heritage collections, which feature modern twists on classic FILA tennis styles, will be worn by top sponsored athletes Marin Cilic, John Isner, Sam Querrey, Karolina Pliskova and Kiki Bertens. These collections, along with new colorways of FILA’s top performance tennis shoe, the Axilus 2 Energized, will be unveiled in Paris.
Women’s Heritage Collection
Heritage draws inspiration from FILA’s legendary archives in Italy, utilizing the brand’s classic hues of red, navy and white accentuated by the addition of a bold electric blue. Past and present blend seamlessly in traditional silhouettes enhanced with modernized fits and stylistic elements. The Heritage jacket – offered in white and electric blue – and a classic navy blue pant with bottom snaps complete the stylish ensemble. Each Heritage collection piece features SPF 50 sun protection, premium plus stretch jersey and moisture wicking technology.
Men’s Legend Collection
Inspired by tennis greats, the FILA men’s Legend Collection features eye-popping gray-on-lime green space dye hues on cutting-edge performance poly interlock and heather mesh fabrication with sweat-wicking and anti-odor technology for maximum performance and style. The Legend Stripe Polo and Legend Crew both feature the double-faced heather mesh; while the Legend Short incorporates an advanced, new woven stretch fabrication. The Legend Colorblocked Crew offers a refreshing color pop of lime green on ebony; and cooling mesh panels allow for maximum comfort on all three shirts in the collection.
Axilus 2 Energized Tennis Shoe
The newest colorways of the Axilus 2 Energized, FILA’s popular performance tennis shoe, were designed especially to complement the on-court style of Legend and Heritage apparel collections. ATP Tour players will sport the ebony/lime green/white colorway, while WTA players will wear the nautical blue/blue curacao/white style. The Axilus 2 Energized has carried numerous FILA sponsored tennis athletes through outstanding starts to the 2019 season, including a combined 12 singles and doubles titles on the WTA and ATP Tours.
The lightweight, flexible shoe offers a perfect blend of style, comfort and performance. Designed for a sport that continues to evolve, these stylish shoes carry athletes across the court quickly and comfortably without sacrificing stability. The Axilus 2 Energized features an updated outsole and also includes breathable sockliners made of anti-slide nylon.
