TOMS is stepping onto the court with its boldest and most unexpected Alpargatas yet: a limited-edition tennis collection inspired by the unmistakable color, texture, and playful spirit of the tennis ball.
Launching just in time for New York’s biggest week in tennis, the collection turns an icon of the court into a head-turning fashion statement. Bright, tactile and deliberately unconventional, the Tennis Alpargata brings a quirky sense of humor to the tennis-core trend, blending courtside heritage with street-style attitude in a shoe designed to be noticed.
Created for tennis obsessives, style collectors, and anyone who believes footwear should be a conversation starter, the limited-edition collection features women’s and men’s Alpargatas, each retailing for $125. The collection will be available exclusively on TOMS.com and TikTok Shop, available now, while supplies last.
Every detail celebrates the visual language of the game. Fluorescent yellow felt uppers recreate the unmistakable look and texture of a tennis ball, while bonded tape detailing, court net-inspired mesh panels, and perforated leather footbeds in court blue complete the transformation. Across the women’s silhouette, embroidered tennis players rally back and forth, adding another unexpected element of movement and play.
Even the packaging gets in on the game. Each pair arrives in an oversized, collectible tennis ball-inspired canister, turning the unboxing experience into a playful extension of the design and a keepsake worthy of display.
More than a bold fashion moment, the launch also celebrates the communities helping grow the game. In conjunction with the collection, TOMS is partnering with Black Girls Tennis Club to support clinics in New York’s Central Park that inspire confidence, build community, and increase access to the sport for the next generation of players.
