Nike crashes and burns with Jannik Sinner clay court kit
Nike outfitted World No. 2 Jannik Sinner in a dazzling pink kit for the Sunshine Double. The pastel kit was a welcome change for the Italian who has been wearing colors that closely resemble condiment bottles.
It appears Nike was once and done with its stellar Sinner kits because he is back to dark colors once again as he hits the court at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters.

A fan shares appropriate comparison
Sinner is all smiles on the court in doubles with Zizou Bergs. Doubles seem to bring out a more joyful side to his personality on court, but his dark colored Nike kit does not.
One fan compared Sinnerβs clay court kit to an employeeβs uniform in a sporting goods store.
Better days are coming. We know he will lighten up in the required Wimbledon whites for his title defense this summer.

Sinner gave Nike credit for doing a good job with his kits especially since the apparel manufacturer is involved in many sports. He also said that he and his team will have more input on the Nike kits in 2027.

Letβs hope his input brings back more Sunshine Double looks (and the pink sneakers) and ends this condiment cloning era.
