YOU'RE INVITED TO A PREVIEW BY NIKECOURT SPORTS MARKETING
The 2022 US Open Apparel Collection's story is a continuation of celebrating Nike’s 50th anniversary and is meant to pay homage to the past but also awakening the unknown of the future.

The US Open Footwear Collection concept is "Ride the Wave" which informed the graphics and the design insights of the FA22 Footwear Collection.
