The FILA Women’s Heritage Collection, which features shimmering stars and glamorous stripes, is inspired by on-court looks of yesteryear. It will be worn in New York by female FILA’s female sponsored tennis athletes such as Ashleigh Barty, Karolina Pliskova and Timea Babos. The collection, which boasts FILA’s iconic red, white and blue color palette, includes a beautiful selection of racerback, t-back and sleeveless tanks, as wells as a traditional five button polo and a flattering cap sleeve top. These tops pair nicely with the Heritage Colorblocked Skort, Heritage Flirty Skort and Heritage Pleated Skort, all of which feature Premium Plus Jersey Performance fabric.

While the chic button down jacket introduces a new silhouette for FILA and the Heritage Sparkle Dress truly does sparkle, the real star of the collection is the Heritage Star Dress, inspired by a similar 2003 FILA New York City showstopper. The Heritage Star Dress features a shimmery, breathable fabric that shines as it moves, keeping spectators mesmerized across the court.

The FILA Men’s Legends Collection will be worn in New York by FILA’s male sponsored tennis athletes such as Marin Cilic, John Isner, Sam Querrey, and Diego Schwartzman. The Legends Collection features a handsome color combination of saturated green contrasted by gray and white, a nod to the FILA archives. The collection boasts pinhole mesh ventilation, high-performance articulated shoulder seams, side seams, draw cords and zippers in contrasting colors.

The Legends Collection offers two short sleeve crew styles, two polo style shirts and a long sleeve crew; each top pairs with the Legends Short, available in both gray and white. Among the collection’s standout design elements is a stripe pattern in green and varying shades of gray, available in crew neck and polo shirt styles. Both the Legends Pant and matching Legends Jacket come in a tech French terry, ideal for training and tournament play alike. All pieces display silicone F-Box transfer logos.
