Thanks to the recent pearly white tennis gear Zendaya has been sporting on the press tour of Luca Guadagnino’s newest flick, Challengers-mania is currently in full swing. So, whether it is on court or off, we’re all looking to achieve that sleek tennis core aesthetic this summer. And who better to facilitate these wishes than the innovative minds behind the 1974 FILA Whiteline tennis collection, deemed a catalyst in the evolution of style in the sport? Lucky for us, the Italian athleisure brand is putting their years of expertise to good use and serving up the goods. First unveiling their polished F-BOX collection at the coveted Pitti Uomo trade show, Fila took its new gear, packed with sporting sensibilities, to a global audience – with this launch marking the first FILA Global collection.
When it came to kick-starting the design process, FILA’s team knew its core component had to be the legendary F-BOX logo, which celebrates its 50th birthday this year. Graphic tennis racket motifs then coat the F-BOX garments, which consist of classic and clean-cut polos and pleated skirts – a true celebration of all things quintessentially tennis. The iconic FILA 70 jacket and a diverse array of tracksuits and sweatshirts are also present, ensuring that relaxed silhouettes have their moment in the collection. Smatterings of vintage accents peak through the fresh and contemporary clothes, all of which remain functional for consumers looking to serve in their workouts, as well as during their day-to-day tasks. And, if tennis isn’t your sport of choice this season, fear not! For those who fancy themselves a hiker or a runner for the summer, practical mountaineering garments – equipped with drawstrings that can recall mountaineering ropes – and gym leggings round out the collection. The key to unlocking all of your sports-style fantasies lies with FILA, so grab your rackets and let’s get physical this summer!
