Earlier today, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga began his 2011 French Open campaign with a straight-set victory over Jan Hajek. The France-born tennis pro returns home this year looking to secure his first major championship. While on the clay courts, Tsonga will be wearing adidas' brand new adiZero Roland Garros apparel and footwear collection.
Blending performance and style, the Roland Garros Collection was designed for risk-taking players that like to stand out in crowds, thus making Tsonga the perfect ambassador. The collection features the official Roland Garros logo and is equipped with the latest adidas technologies for maximum comfort and performance.
Designed with the 2011 Roland Garros theme of Legend in mind, the adiZero Ace Polo shirt sports an intense green and medium lead look with an avant-garde triangular print on the front. Performance technology includes a FORMOTION cut for enhanced comfort, while ClimaCool controls body temperature in key zones. Complimenting the shirt are the Ace Bermuda shorts, which come in medium lead and white-based colorways.
For footwear, adidas introduces the adiZero Feather Clay in a Metallic Silver/Black/Intense Green make-up. The lightweight sneaker features adiPRENE, adiTUFF, Torsion and adiWEAR technology. With the addition of TPU framework, the Feather Clay is designed to endure the rigors of grueling clay court matches.
Take a look at Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the new 2011 Roland Garros Collection below. The Ace Traditional Polo, Bermuda Shorts and Clay Feather are available at adidas Sport Performance Stores and selected retailers.
