Sloane Stephens’ US Open kit vamped up with tennis-adapted Air Jordan 8s

I’ve already written about Stephens being the face of Air Jordan sneakers, but what’s new to me is that at the US Open she’ll wear a special Air Jordan 8 model that merges basketball and tennis — it includes a sole unit taken from the Nike Air Zoom Zero tennis shoe, while staying true to its basketball roots with unique vamp straps, side panel clips and high-cut collar, as Hypebeast reports.

Besides the unique sneakers, Stephens is modelling new Nike Slam NY Pants that have tear-away snaps on the sides and the Slam Tennis Jacket.
