Nike Dropped Naomi Osaka's Australian Open Kit Online

According to the product description, the Naomi Osaka Slam Nike Dri-FIT Tennis Dress "takes her electric playing style down under. Nodding to the epic tennis tournament in Australia, this stretchy, sweat-wicking tennis dress is designed with cascading jellyfish-inspired ruffles to make her game sting."

The lacey dress features a sea-inspired blend of Copa, Light Liquid Lime, and White. The Nike Dri-FIT technology moves sweat away from your skin for quicker evaporation, helping you stay dry and comfortable. Meanwhile, the mesh panel on the upper back offers breathability.

Jellyfish Season

It is possible that Osaka calls an audible at the last moment and wears something else, or a slightly different version of the dress. However, Nike's product description tracks with the hint she dropped on her Threads account last week.

Osaka posted a picture of a jellyfish from SpongeBob SquarePants with the caption, "Pick up the phone, it's jellyfish season."

Nike Tennis

Osaka is not alone, as Nike's website now has an entire selection called "Grand Slam" looks. It includes the kits for Aryna Sabalenka as well as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

It is good to see a little sign of life from Nike tennis, as the brand has done next to nothing out of Osaka since the retirements of Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal.

Say what you want about adidas tennis, but the brand takes tennis seriously with its epic social media presence. Meanwhile, Alcaraz and Sinner are languishing under Nike. They have had a few t-shirts, but no signature collection like Nadal.

2026 Australian Open

The Australian Open's main draw kicks off on Sunday, January 18. The action concludes for the women on Saturday, January 31, and the men on Sunday, February 1. Tennis fans can expect every brand to bring the heat to Melbourne this month.
