Timeless elegance meets modern sport

The partnership between Gucci and tennis isn’t entirely new. This recent “Gucci Tennis Special” collection draws inspiration from the brand’s existing relationship with the sport, dating back to the 1970s.

 

During this era, Gucci expanded its offerings for tennis players, focusing heavily on accessories and footwear. 

 

The now-iconic Tennis 1977 sneaker, a trailblazer as one of the first luxury brand sneakers, was born in this period. This love for tennis continued into the 1980s with the introduction of ready-to-wear pieces that resonated with athletes and fans alike.

While the “Gucci Tennis Special” isn’t a formal collaboration with any specific tennis player or event, it’s a celebration of the brand’s heritage within the sport. 

 

The collection reimagines classic tennis attire with a modern twist, offering a complete look from sleek dresses and polos to matching sets and stylish accessories. This allows players and fans to express their love for the game with a touch of Gucci’s signature luxury and design.
