Bold Botanicals
Taking note of Serena's love for prints, the Serena Williams Design Crew Designer Juan Huerta infused bold botanical graphics throughout many of the pieces of this collection.
"We added the floral prints to give Serena her flowers while she still plays".

Braided by Chaise Jones, the model's hairstyle served as a nod to Serena's iconic beads and consistent intention to share her heritage ad show up as her most authentic self.
Fit for a Queen
Gold metallic details and intricate lace patterns serve as a nod to Serena's legacy, while the crown detail on the tongue tab is a nod to the Queen's regal reign.
"Gold is one of the elements we wanted to tie in, not only in apparel, but also in the footwear".

Classic and Clean
Staying true to the classic silhouette, designer Mika Osoro maintained the sought-after clean aesthetic of the Air Force 1. Monochromatic and adorned with embossed patterns, the Serena Williams Design Crew Collection provides a fresh take on the storied staple.
"I loved the clean feel of the original, so I wanted to keep that vibe and used texture to tell the story with an embossed design".
