While the French Open is in full swing, Gucci just dropped a tennis collection. And yes, there’s a racket; custom-made with HEAD. And it’s as photogenic as it is functional. Red string bed, signature Web stripe, Interlocking G at the centre. It’s meant to play, but honestly, it looks great propped up in your room too.
This is Gucci Tennis in its current era: heritage cues, cinematic ease, and fashion that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
It’s not their first rally with HEAD. Last year’s drop (remember those custom duffle bags for Jannik Sinner?) made waves during the Paris reveal. The latest iteration keeps the retro momentum going with clean silhouettes, crisp whites, and sportswear that blurs the line between match and martini.
Pleated skirts and structured polos are cut with that signature 1970s sharpness. There’s a distinct effortlessness, nothing too precious. Aviators with a metallic edge, monogram duffles with leather trim, headbands you’ll probably wear even when you’re nowhere near a court.
The campaign captures all of this in suspended moments. A glance, a pause, a scene that feels lived-in. The sun’s high, the vibe is unbothered, and the players (if you can call them that) move with an easy kind of grace. It’s giving cinematic leisure.
And while the limited-edition Gucci Tennis x HEAD Speed MP racket might look like a collector’s piece, it’s not just for show. It’s engineered with a balance of power and control, fitted with an anti-vibration dampener, and packed inside a blue carry case with Gucci Web detailing and a zip pocket—because details matter.
Gucci Tennis isn’t a trend. It’s a mood. Drop everything and go courtside.
