While Naomi Osaka may not be completely satisfied with his results so far this season, it is undeniable that the four-time Grand Slam champions quickly fell into trouble as the year progressed.
Osaka was beaten in some competitions, but her Nike costume never wavered. The WTA will begin this week in North America hard court season, with Japanese superstars preparing tennis shoes for this.
Osaka showed off the new color scheme of Nike GP Challenge 1 tennis shoes in an Instagram post. The title says: “Hard court szn, but make it cute [pink heart emoji]. Check out the picture below.
The never-seen color scheme has two blue shades on the mesh upper, which contrasts sharply with the college gold cover and midsole. Meanwhile, the pink laces and outsole provide a nice pop music.
On top of that, the iridescent Nike Swoosh logo on the side has Japanese words (hopefully our readers can help with the translation). Finally, the signature logo of Osaka appears on the tongue.
Although there is no release information for the new Osaka color scheme, the Nike GP Challenge 1 comes in a variety of styles on Nike.com, with prices ranging from $145-170.
Nike GP Challenge 1 is made for aspiring to be the best player. The air zoom unit, solid midfoot plastic plate and extra rubber for high wear help release your inner strength and smash anything at the match point.
Osaka doesn't have iconic shoes, but she's the face of Nike GP Challenge 1. The 27-year-old has several player-independent color schemes, all of which have been hit by tennis players and fans.
Osaka began his career as Adidas before signing a multi-year contract with Nike in 2019. The deal is worth $10 million a year and continues until 2025.
