The Serena Williams Design Crew, aka SWDC, is an apprenticeship program that supports diverse designers and debuted on September 1, 2020. This program, which was co-founded by Serena Williams and Swoosh, develops promising fashion talent.

The Serena Williams Design Crew x Nike assortment is the fruit of a powerful partnership between tennis elites and sportswear behemoths, and it beautifully combines fashion, substance, and significance. The collection of sneakers includes the Air Max 1, Dunk Low Disrupt 2 and Air Huarache silhouettes.

The sneakers come in a basic color scheme of white, golden-yellow, and teal. However, the Air Max 1 shines not just for its distinctive color combinations but also for its high-end craftsmanship.

This collaboration's design can be compared to a tennis court, with the sole unit as well as mudguards covered in a spotless white that resembles the court's chalked lines on the underside. A completely different tale is told on the top half, which is covered in plush harmonic orange suedes that elegantly contrast the stark whites.

The topography of the Swoosh emboss plus perforated toe box, a persistent decorative element seen spreading across its counterparts in the line, offer even more elegance.

The finer, more minute elements of the shoe emphasize how special it is. The little Swoosh at the forefoot, along with the Air units, are highlighted in a subdued yet eye-catching teal, adding a welcome pop of color. A distinguishing feature of this teamwork is the Serena-signed insoles, which are a subtle gesture to a relationship that honors the mix of avant-garde flair and high-octane athleticism.
