Uniqlo is collaborating with Roger Federer and JW Anderson on a new capsule collection featuring Federer’s classic style and JW Anderson’s modern and colorful rendition of sports and performance wear for an affordable tenniscore line.

The Roger Federer x JW Anderson Uniqlo collab includes genderless garments like a fleece full zip jacket accented with a breast pocket and a premium lambswool crewneck sweater. Also, there’s a pair of nylon easy pants with piping down the sides as color accents for an easy on-the-go option. Uniqlo’s Dry Ex polo shirt, made from Uniqlo’s proprietary moisture-wicking fabric, makes an appearance in the collection as well as a padded park jacket and a 2-way sports bag.

Roger Federer, the revered Swiss tennis player who holds the second most singles titles on the ATP Tour with 103, is known for his attention to style and collaborating with names with On Running and Ronnie Fieg. So, Federer wanting to work with Uniqlo shouldn’t shock.

In 2020, JW Anderson worked with Uniqlo for a capsule collection that had all the design codes of Anderson’s statement-pushing, luxury label combined with Uniqlo’s minimalistic separates. The new collection continues Anderson and his ability to mesh with any aesthetic.

The collection leans into the “Tenniscore” trend growing in popularity on TikTok, which takes garments typically reserved for playing tennis (skirts and dresses, polo shirts, athletic shorts and sneakers) and takes them off court. Also, the new collaboration shares some DNA with “Country Club Core,” another example of preppy dressing.

The collection debuted on Aug. 2 at the brand’s Fifth Avenue Flagship store in New York City. The Roger Federer x JW Anderson capsule will be available to shop in the United States on Monday, August 28. Prices for the collection vary between $40-90.
