The French Open has sparked a full-blown fashion controversy, and Nike finds itself at the centre of it. While Naomi Osaka stunned the tennis world with another jaw-dropping custom outfit inspired by the Eiffel Tower, Aryna Sabalenka’s highly promoted French Open look suddenly lost its exclusivity after the same design appeared on World No. 88 Oksana Selekhmeteva. From viral fashion praise to branding backlash, Rupha Ramani breaks down how Nike ended up facing two completely different stories at Roland Garros and why the sportswear giant is suddenly under pressure both on and off the court.

Could be worse ..they all might have to play in the same bland colour like the outdated and obsolete Wimbledon rules ? The 'all england club! ' Have you ever eard of a bigger misnomer in the history of world sport than that ? Currently we have Italian and Polish champions of the mens and ladies titles ..but it's the ' all england tennis and croquet club !' What a load of arrogant garbage …new balls please !
CRAP! CRAP!!
Nike does make gear for athletes to compete for championships.
Seems like they did both style on one side performance on the other.
Utter disrespect for Aryna Sabalenka😢
I think NIKE needs to keep the look "sporty" & practical. With Naomi's outfit, it looks fine but the gold glitter don't look sporty and is the outfit practical to provide comfort & support to sports players.
Yes Nike eil fail sometimes and realize, tennis is tennis glamor must please stay glamor.no no Osaka you a mum
What a stupid video.
Aryna needs help in knowing what is class when it comes to her jewellery ,” less is more” .Surely there is an influential person who can guide her
