New York City – During her opening match at the 2026 U.S. Open, Naomi Osaka turned heads with a basketball‑inspired outfit that paid tribute to NBA great Allen Iverson. The Japanese‑American star stepped onto the court in an asymmetrical gray “Who Decides War” hoodie paired with a white tulle skirt, echoing Iverson’s iconic gray sweats.
Osaka completed the look with braids, an athletic headband, mismatched black and red arm sleeves, and later revealed an all‑black Nike crop top and mesh tennis skirt. Close‑up photos showed newspaper clippings woven throughout the hoodie, adding a unique visual element.

Fans eager to emulate Osaka’s on‑court style can now purchase items from her signature Nike collection. The lineup includes the gray hoodie, the tulle skirt, and other pieces that capture the athlete’s bold fashion sense. A halter dress inspired by the look is slated to arrive soon.
