Born in Japan to a Haitian father, the 23-year old tennis player Naomi Osaka resides in America. A three-time Grand Slam winner and the highest-ranked Asian player, Osaka is one of the best players there. Collaborating with Nike, the World No. 3 is honoring her tri-cultural background in an all-new apparel line.
Dropped a day after the Nike Blazer launch, the collection is on sale from today. The buzz behind Osaka’s exclusive line will help sell out many of its designs. One can see the chic fanny pack going out of stock. Naomi, who seems stressed about her first apparel-line out, shared a picture of it on Instagram.

With a minimalistic concept, Naomi Osaka’s apparel line came to life, keeping in mind her extended cultural background. The line’s designs will consist of a new logo which will be her initials; the theme is based on three cultures.
NikeCourt wrote, “Inspired by Naomi’s unique outlook and playful style. Graphics are drawn from her initials and reflect her roots. Naomi’s signature camo is a one-of-a-kind pattern made by plugging in the coordinates for Japan, Haiti, and the USA.”
