Coinciding with the US Open: Wilson and New York Sunshine Team Up for Tennis-Inspired Collection
Sports goods giant Wilson has joined forces with streetwear brand New York Sunshine to create a new collection called “Extra Duty”. The collection, inspired by the hardworking individuals who help make tennis matches possible, is a must-have for any tennis fan.
The Pro Staff 87 sneaker, a popular style from the 80s, has been given a fresh update with tennis ball felt details in the iconic bright yellow color. The collection also includes a cap with the brands’ names embroidered and a yellow tennis ball print, as well as a statement drawstring bag in bright yellow with silver detailing and the Wilson logo.
Apparel options include a simple white tee, hoodie, and sweatshirt, all featuring the words “tennis court maintenance pro staff” on the front and “extra duty” on the back, along with the brands’ names. This collection pays tribute to the often overlooked workers who keep the tennis courts in top shape.
Wilson has been a major player in the sporting goods industry for decades, with their Extra Duty ball being the official ball of the US Open since 1978. Now, they are expanding their reach to include fans with this new collaboration.
In a statement, the brands said, “The limited-edition Wilson x New York Sunshine collection shines a spotlight on the hard work of those whose names may not be on the scoreboard. They are the ones behind the scenes, working before dawn and after hours. Without them, the biggest stage in tennis would just be a park in Queens.”
The Wilson x New York Sunshine collection is now available on Wilson’s website and in select stores. Don’t miss your chance to show your appreciation for the unsung heroes of the tennis world.
