I do have my GF as a witness. I have been saying for years now that I will die a happy man, when the time comes. Because I will be so outdated by then... ;)

Her jeans are too high on her hips. And remember, I am the guy that dies for a girl in jeans and a T-shirt.
I don't think this is her best photo in recent months, I like maybe 2 others more. Her Radley photos tend to be well done in particular. But I have to object to calling out these jeans. Don't make me post another recent photo of her in another pair of jeans. Trust me, these look amazing in comparison.

If Konta just untucked the top from the mom jeans it would be a really great look, for her.

I've seen this modeled by both Halep and here Svitolina. Did Nike change their design team? This looks decent.

I actually like it. Let's see what they do for Naomi, as she is wearing her own collection.

What she's wearing is... ok I guess. It doesn't fit her well and she has leggings on (it's cold in Melbourne), making the skirt look our of place and giving Naomi kind of a muffin top.

It's awful

If I had to guess, I don't think it's a change. I think the old team that used to deliver consistently good, but not flashy and talked about, designs are being listened to a bit more in the last few months after several busts in the last two years that have gotten relentlessly mocked.

Remember we had the Nike Melbourne designs last year that were tragic. And awkward. And included a full blue cheetah tracksuit or something on Grigor.

Haha, fair enough. I think the individual pieces aren't awful, but put together and on Naomi, yes.

And then there's whatever in hell Serena is wearing.
I can certainly do without seeing this current version of the 'catsuit'.

Give me basic clothes any day over all of this desperate attention seeking stuff.

So, I definitely like this one from Nike. Funny that they went to the trouble of trying out some Tik Tok/Instagram marketing and didn't make full use of it. Even though I love the skirt on this, the back is probably my favorite, could've easily been shown in a video but wasn't.

This entire line is not a win though. Taylor Fritz is exhibit A. And I'm iffy on the tanish color in the women's skits as well, seems possibly hit or miss depending on who is wearing it.

Woke up to catch the last part of the Shapo/Sinner match, and I thought it was funny that Shapo was wearing pajamas.
That is one ugly color.
