ASICS and A.P.C. have come together to introduce a tennis lineup that flows from the court to the street. This joint effort marks a first for ASICS, whose usual focus on performance now extends to an all-encompassing collection. The range is anchored by a unisex perspective in clean, pared-down shades, echoing the refined touch A.P.C. is known for. A nod to a certain ’70s mood underscores the silhouettes, while the clothes blend form and function in a cool, modern way.
The on-court segment includes 20 pieces, from sleeveless tops and shorts to a streamlined dress. Women’s staples include a versatile crew dress and supportive essentials, while men’s highlights feature sleeveless and short-sleeve crew tops. Some garments weave in references to KASANE, the layered art form, while the ASICS logo draws on SHIBORI tie-dye for a subtle graphic edge. Special edition footwear—GEL-RESOLUTION™ X x A.P.C. and SOLUTION SPEED™ FF 3 x A.P.C.—completes the match look, along with caps, wristbands, and socks.
A.P.C.’s Creative Director, Judith Touitou, leads the 30-piece off-court selection, offering comfortable pieces that move seamlessly from daily life to leisurely play. The Tote Raquette, fashioned from Japanese organic denim, comes with a front pocket that fits a tennis racket. For extra flair, there’s a special edition GEL-KAYANO™ 14 x A.P.C., pairing athletic heritage with an everyday twist.
ASICS athletes including Alex de Minaur, Borna Coric, Lorenzo Musetti, Belinda Bencic, Harriet Dart, and Jasmine Paolini will showcase both ranges at upcoming European competitions.
Camille Eberhard, Director of Apparel at ASICS said, “We’re excited to introduce our first-ever head-to-toe tennis collaboration and partnering with A.P.C. was the perfect match for this launch. Our teams collaborated closely to bring this vision to life, balancing style and performance to inspire confidence on the court. For the on-court collection, our goal was to design apparel that helps players feel their best, ready to experience the powerful uplift of movement on the mind. It seamlessly blends timeless aesthetics with our industry-leading performance technology. The off-court range, designed by A.P.C., extends this philosophy beyond the game, embracing an active lifestyle in everyday life.”
Judith Touitou, Creative Director at A.P.C. said, “With this collection, we tried to achieve the purest silhouettes possible so as to focus on the beauty of the sportive gesture achieved by ASICS athletes on their way to success. We also wanted to translate this spirit in everybody’s lifestyle, adding also a touch of playfulness brought by our gradient print on nylon pieces.”
The ASICS x A.P.C. Tennis Collection launches on April 5, 2025, online at asics.com, apcstore. and through select ASICS and A.P.C. stores worldwide.
