Naomi Osaka hit the ground running during the first round of the U.S. Open in New York City on Tuesday, winning the match against Greet Minnen of Belgium while wearing her own version of the Nike GP Challenge 1 tennis shoe, which is available to shop on nike.com .
It was a day of bold color for the tennis star. On her feet, her quick movements were supported by the Nike GP Challenge 1 “ Naomi Osaka ” sneakers, which feature a Picante Red/Bright Crimson/Dark Team Red/Black colorway. A design of red roses nodded to Osaka’s ongoing floral theme she’s showcased throughout several tournaments.
The $170 shoes are equipped with Air Zoom units at the forefoot and heel as well as a midfoot plastic plate and webbing surrounding the eyestays, which help to contain side-to-side movements.
