New Balance Drops a New Apparel Collection for the Australian Open
Making hard court style a lifestyle essential.
Going into its third year as the tournament’s official performance and footwear supplier, New Balance has just released a new Australian Open apparel collection ahead of the first Grand Slam of 2026. This year’s drop is all about merging on-court looks with lifestyle pieces, celebrating tennis style and culture in a unique, Aussie-inspired way.
Navy blue makes up the majority of the collection, accented by pastel shades of purple, green and yellow. Drawing inspiration from Australia’s love of tennis, graphic tees feature joyful crowds, AO’s signature hard courts and a New Balance sneaker filled overflowing with sand and a beach umbrella. A simple, navy tee features the words “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie” on the front in mustard yellow. On the back, “Oi, Oi, Oi” completes the perfect, casual nod to a tournament Down Under.
“Our 2026 New Balance Australian Open Collection is a true celebration of tennis culture and the iconic Aussie spirit,” began Julie Pike, Senior Vice President of Global Apparel at New Balance. “Inspired by the passion of athletes and fans alike, this collection captures the energy of Melbourne’s courts and for the first time ever, will sell the collection around the world,” she added.
Performance pieces include pleated skirts, tanks, tops and shorts designed to keep you cool on the court. Woven, color-block jackets accompany the collection for chilly weather, and an Aussie green and yellow mesh jersey brings the collection full circle.
The New Balance Australian Open collection is available to purchase now on the New Balance website and at select retailers.
