Serena Williams' Design Crew (SWDC) at Nike recently redesigned the classic Nike Air Max 90 Futura to add to their sneaker collection. The new version of the shoe is covered in different shades of light tan and is developed using suede and leather.

“When I step on the court, I definitely want to stand out. I’m Serena and I like to be different. I just like taking a chance when it comes to design,” Williams remarked about her crew.

The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion also heaped praise on her design team, claiming that each of them came from different backgrounds.

“The world isn’t one color. We come from different backgrounds and think differently. When you bring all that diversity together, can you imagine the amazing things that you are able to make?” Williams said.

The 41-year-old had the last season of her illustrious tennis career in 2022 during which, she played only seven matches. WIlliams' first singles match came at Wimbledon, where she lost to Harmony Tan.

The American's first win of the season came over Nuria Parrizas Diaz at the National Bank Open in Toronto. However, she lost to Belinda Bencic in the next round.

Williams then suffered an opening-round defeat to Emma Raducanu at the CIncinnati Open before competing in the US Open as a wildcard. She won her opening-round match against Danka Kovinic and beat then World No. 2 Anett Kontaveit to book her place in the third round. Here, she lost to eventual quarterfinalist Ajla Tomljanovic.
