Carlos Alcaraz kicked off his bid for his first-ever Australian Open title this week with a dominant straight-sets win over hometown hopeful Adam Walton, but it wasn’t the Spanish star’s play on the court that had onlookers talking, but rather his colorful outfit choice.
The world number-one took to Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne sporting a sleeveless neon green and white top, courtesy of his sponsor Nike. Available now at Nike.com, the eye-catching top isn’t just looks: Nike says the Dri-FIT material uses “advanced sweat-wicking technology” to keep you dry, while being ultra breathable and lightweight — I.e. while this is a slim-fitting top, it won’t stick to your skin. A ribbed collar and ribbed armholes add a stylish touch, while helping the tank top retain its shape.
NikeCourt Slam Men’s Dri-FIT ADV Tank Top
Nike calls this a “mean green” colorway (at right) though it’s also available in an orange and white design. Choose from sizes XS to XXL.
NikeCourt Slam Men’s Dri-FIT Shorts
Alcaraz paired his tank top with these green and black shorts, which feature the same sweat-wicking material, with a six-inch inseam, stretchy mesh waistband and an easy-access ball pocket. Nike says these shorts are made from a polyester-spandex blend, with at least 75% recycled polyester fibers for sustainability. Choose from sizes XS to XXL.
Nike Vapor 12 Men’s Hard Court Tennis Shoes
Complete your look with the same pair of tennis shoes seen on Alcaraz at the Australian Open. These Nike Vapor 12 sneakers are lightweight yet grippy, with a flexible upper and a new “herringbone” traction pattern made from a rubber compound.
Nike says these hard court shoes are lighter and more responsive than the Vapor 11. This design, meantime, pays tribute to the “Aussie coastline, where the scenic surf waves mix sweet and sour tones.” Alcaraz wears the “Light Liquid Lime” and “Mean Green” colorway with a black swoosh, though you can choose from ten colorways online. The shoes are available in sizes six to 15.

Alcaraz is the number-one seed at this year’s Australian Open and looking for that elusive Grand Slam title Down Under, which would help the Spaniard complete a career Grand Slam. The 22-year-old has won two titles each at the French Open, U.S. Open, and Wimbledon, but he has yet to advance past the quarterfinals in Melbourne.
